Irish comedian's flight delay spurs comedy of errors en route to Vancouver
An Irish comedian’s journey across the pond has been made difficult due to airline delays, and he’s worried he might be late to his Vancouver show tonight because of it.
Shane Todd’s trip delays have given him an all too familiar Canadian flying experience, making him cut it close for his show at Dublin Calling Party Pub & Kitchen in Vancouver tonight.
His flight from Belfast to Heathrow was delayed, which caused him to miss his connection, he wrote on social media today.
As a result, he had to spend the night at the airport, hoping to catch the next flight.
The flight he finally boarded was delayed by an hour, meaning he would land in Vancouver just an hour before his show began.

He took to X to share his woes with his followers.
“Yesterday, the Belfast to Heathrow flight was delayed, and we missed our connection,” he explained in a post. “I stayed at the airport last night for a 2 pm flight today, [and] that’s now been delayed an hour. [I’m] Due to land in Vancouver at 5 pm, [and] the first show is at 6 pm, [and] it’s a 22-minute drive from the airport to the venue.”
