Tommy Tiernan's spanking new chat show kicks off tonight on RTE 1 @ 10:15pm. I always feel a little apprehensive ahead of his television appearances as they can be hilariously funny or fall flat. I like the guy a lot so I'll be tuning in tonight. I'll be willing him on.

Tommy's improvised chat show first started out on radio, RTE's 2fm to be exact and I thoroughly enjoyed each episode. There were four shows recorded in The Sugar Club in Dublin in front of a live audience. Tommy was really on form, he seems to feed off the audience.

Whenever I need a laugh, I listen to Podcast 4 - about 26 minutes in, he interviews the writer, Donal Ryan and the two of them had the best craic. I've received a few funny looks at work for laughing out loud while listening to it (with earphones in).

Yeah my family know Sean well , and to be fair joy division, new order, the happy Mondays and THE british rave scene would not be in my parents frame of reference, when Tony died I was in a newsagent and Sean Boylan was front page of the Harold carrying the bleedin coffin!!

Turns out their fathers met once by accident and a lifelong family friendship developed

That's a brilliant story, thanks for sharing!

Tommy's struggling with this one.

Even though I’m a massive GAA fan myself, I was a bit disappointed with his interview with Seán Boylan. We’ve heard loads about that Meath team before and anything he asked him was spoken about in the Seán Boylan documentary last year. The whole herbalist side of things would have been more interesting.

True.

He's a very 'weedy' man, shoulders very narrow.

Was gonna say - looks like plastic surgery or something? Or just naturally look like that.

One of his programs about getting a choir together was on not so long ago I think it was of old age citizens

Apparently very, very few people can conduct well these days..

Good interview this one. Almost turned it off when he said he was a conductor. Tommy asking him what’s the point not a conductor was something I always wondered

Good Jasus what’s this rubbish

Brophy was a guest speaker at a work conference some years ago, spoke about mindfulness and how to stay calm in stressful situations, at the end he attempted to co-ordinate the group to sing a song, the sound system broke down and he actually threw the mobile mike and bounced it of two tables! The mindfulness talk kind of lost its impact after that!
