‘World Tour of…’14 Jan 2012 - 10:35

Tommy’s mastery of stand-up allows him to take risks other comedians dare not. Through hilarious storytelling and a high energy, non- apologetic delivery he continually challenges his audience who can be confident they are in safe hands. To see Tiernan live is a rare treat, as his stories unfold and themes are elaborated his performance mesmerises as his lyrical way with words make you laugh harder than you’d ever believe possible.

His 'World Tour of...' dates in February & March 2012 take him through South Tipperary, Monaghan, Offaly, Cavan, Limerick & Kerry.

Tommy’s brand new DVD “Crooked Man” has been receiving rave reviews from the critics see below some of the highlights.

If there's a more beautiful stand-up DVD out there, we've yet to see it. . It's also refreshing to see a comic put some love into their live DVD, rather than simply churning out another Christmas cash-in. It's beautifully shot and the Irish comic is on spectacularly funny form." – Time Out London

The best of this bunch is Storyteller Tommy Tiernan’s Crooked Man, There’s unlikely to be a more compelling stand-up out there today, with this show giving us all the sides of Tiernan from the hushed conspirator to the firebrand preacher, riffing on childhood, family and a little bit of politics. Pure genius, so it Is - (●●●●●) The List

The DVD feels wonderfully intimate, capturing the mischievous atmosphere the Navan native effortlessly conjures as he muses on marriage religion and turning 40, judging by Crooked Man, growing old disgracefully suits Tiernan Perfectly – Hot Press

Eamonn Kelly's hit comedy 'Religious Knowledge' returns to The Kings Head in Galway, Monday Jan 9th & Tuesday Jan 10th

18 years after it was last performed 'Religious Knowledge' a one act comedy by Eamonn Kelly returns with the original cast to the original venue, the back bar of The Kings Head Pub in Galway's Latin Quarter. Set in a classroom, it features Gerry Conneely as 'the Brother', and Gary McSweeney, Tommy Tiernan & Philip Sweeney as his hapless pupils.

The year is 1970, Dana has just won the Eurovision & the Brother is attempting to educate Messers Fogarty, Dunphy & McQuaid about life & its various facts.

Religious Knowledge, a popular and critical success, ran almost continuously in the King's Head lunchtime comedy slot for over two years in the early 90's and was loved by Galway audiences, many of whom returned to see the play several times.

Written by Eamonn Kelly, a native of Dublin, and directed by Fiona Kelly, this special re-staging of the show, part nostalgic celebration and part class reunion, will take place next Monday & Tuesday in the King's Head on Jan 9th and 10th at 8pm for 2 nights only. The boys are back, older but by no means wiser.

Tickets which are selling fast are €10 &  are on sale now from The King's Head Pub in Galway.
