Party: Tommy Tiernan

Party: Tommy Tiernan

Now entering his 20th year as a stand-up comedian, having won every award going and still as passionate as ever about the adventure of storytelling and comedy, Ireland's number one comedian is also starting to take some very exciting risks.

There's no manners on him, profound, dark, and silly too, his performance mesmerises in a way that is joyful, uplifting, inspirational and most importantly always breathtakingly funny.

There is something zeitgeisty about Tommy. He taps into the wider consciousness and manages to express what some people feel deeply but might not have an opportunity to express themselves while always retaining his great charm and roguishness that allows him to say things others just couldn't get away with.
