After Dinner Speakers: Tommy Tiernan, George Stephanopoulos, Ruth Lea

Tommy Tiernan delivers his observational comedy in a truly masterful style. He seems to care. His face is bright and alert and amused and he looks impatient for the laughs to stop, so he can get on. His material comes from the heart, and he lets it work him into a physical passion. Tommy has not forgotten a rule of comedy that audiences only give a damn if the performer seems to. Tommy’s life, his schooling, his Irishness, his family often form the basis for his material, he manages to elevate the mundane into soulful irony. Tommy Tiernan is a modern day comedian of the finest sort, one who uses genuine humour rather than rely on shock tactics to entertain his audience.
