Tiernan tours and guests on Letterman show One of Ireland’s most
talented come-dians, Tommy Tiernan, has been stateside recently and very
busy. As we go to press, Tiernan’s Loose tour at the Actors Playhouse
is wrapping July 15 and then he’s off to Toronto to headline the
Irish Gala at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.
While he was in the Big Apple he made a guest appearance on The David
Letterman Show and was well received.
Known for his shoot-from-the-hip style, Tiernan is not afraid of controversy
and has expressed strong opinions about the Catholic church, sex, and
politics in his comedy. While in New York, he also shot some of his documentary
Jokerman, which traces his journey from playing the top-tier venues in
Ireland to the States where he is a relative newcomer and has to pay his
dues on the small-gig circuit.
