WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
After a sensational appearance at last summer's Just For Laughs Montreal International Comedy Festival, Irish phenomenon Tommy Tiernan took the states by storm with a successful New York City run in Fall 2004. Most recently, Tiernan earned raves in Los Angeles in a critically acclaimed run of his latest show Loose earlier this spring. The Los Angeles Times hailed him as "A Gaelic Eddie Izzard!" and Variety observed, "A terrific storyteller. Watching a comic like this makes one wish American standups had Tiernan's facility and affection for language."

Winner of both the Perrier Award and British Comedy Award for "Best Stand-Up" with his 1998 debut solo show, he continues his interrogation of the big ideas - sex, religion and family.
