Familiar to many through his appearances on Republic of Telly and his daily stints on 2fm, Al Porter - despite only being 21 - has long been tipped for stardom.
He takes another giant stride towards the big-time in March, as he becomes the youngest Irish comedian in history to headline Vicar Street, the storied venue that has hosted everyone who is anyone on the Irish - and international - comedy scene.
Tickets for the March 6 show go on sale this Thursday, priced at €19.
