   Tommy Tiernan's Comedian Bio
BioTommy Tiernan has broken all Irish box office records over and over again by selling out in venues across the country including a staggering current record of 150 dates in Dublin’s one thousand seat theatre, Vicar Street, received a jet-roar standing ovation from 4,500 people in The Marquee in Cork, stormed The Letterman Show in New York and recently when Tiernan left the stage of the Gala in Montreal, over two thousand Canadians were on their feet in a sustained ovation to acknowledge one of the most extraordinary performances of stand-up comedy in festival memory moving one critic to lament, “If only all stand up were this good!” This reaction not only confirmed that his comedy travels well, but demonstrated why he is now regarded as one of the top ten stand-up comedians in the English-speaking world. From his beginnings in Galway’s GPO and Dublin’s Comedy Cellar to an early win of the ‘So You Think You’re Funny” UK Best Newcomer Award, Tommy’s stage work quickly led to a ‘Perrier Award’ win in Edinburgh, a ‘British Comedy Award’ for ‘Best Stand Up’ and a ‘Nokia Best Of The Fest Award’ on his return to Edinburgh. His commitment to live stand-up has led him on an extraordinary journey, including twice being accused of blasphemy in the Irish Senate and one tour even finished with a 6 week 650 mile walk across Ireland, performing shows in small regional theatres for an Irish TV show called “Supertramp”. Even his DVD’s overtake each other to go straight in at Number 1 in the 1st week of release. "His work is a constant interrogation of the big ideas – Sex, Religion, Family – through the lens of his quirks, personal demons and sense of outrage" As ever, he does so with the fervour and passion combined with masterful stagecraft, which has characterised his development as a comic. The legendary Lenny Bruce said that the job of a comedian is not just to entertain, but to tell the truth through comedy – a philosophy, which continues to inform Tiernan’s approach to stand-up. Given the depth, honesty and intensity of his material, it is remarkable to see just how funny he can be.
