Meet Kilkenny's Mr Personality as countdown to festival begins

The competition will see 24 contestants from around the country descend on Kilkenny for the 18th installment of the competition which takes place on Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26.

"We look forward to welcoming Matt and his supporters to Kilkenny," a spokesperson for the Mr Personality Festival said.
