    Only got a phone call about it last night when a friend saw the poster. Was in the cellar today and all their tickets were sold out already.

    Managed to get some for me and my friends luckily, and now its sold out!

    Anyone else going? Personally I thought 17.50e was cheap enough considering the prices of tickets for his last shows were in the 30e bracket!

    :)

    Was a big fan a few years ago...but walked out the last time I saw him play about 2 years ago in Longford. He has forsaken his ability to be actually funny to being controversial...he just comes across as a dcikhead nowadays

    I'm with LowOdour on this one...I worked in the Comedy club in the gpo many years ago and loved when Tommy Tiernan came for a show, he was brilliant back then.. Now i'd rather set fire to myself than sit through one of his show's.

    Id rather stick a pitchfork in my eye than go to see him.

    Dont rate him tbh as a stand up comedian.

    Rate him as a prat though:cool:

    For me, he stopped being funny at least 5 years ago - just seems to be an arrogant controversy courting monkey these days.

    It irritates me the way he curses his way through every set - though to be honest, its been a long time since I've seen him, wouldn't waste my cash.

    Did anyone leave Friday night's gig, or was he 'behaving' himself for a change?

    Hey all,

    I'm stranded in Dubllin so I have two tickets going if anyone wants to take them.
    17.50 I think is the face value.

    I'll be online for the evening so drop me a PM if you want to take them.
    Tickets can be collected In shantalla 2 mins walk from cookes corner.
