The comic will host a four-part series each Saturday in July.
Turn your digital dials to RTÉ 2fm at 1pm this Saturday, July 4, to hear a very different type of chat show from Tommy Tiernan.
The stand-up will host a four-part, hour-long series each Saturday in July, broadcast live from The Sugar Club.
The Tommy Tiernan Show will see the top comedian interview two guests every week in front of a live audience. But there’s a catch: Tommy won’t know who he is interviewing until they walk out onto The Sugar Club stage. Each week will also see some of Ireland’s favourite and up-and-coming bands take to the stage.
Tiernan says: "One of the great things about the old Late Late Show was not knowing who the guests were until they appeared on screen, it kept the whole thing lively, so I just thought well how would it be if the host didn’t know who they were until they walked out either. Every time I thought about it, it just made me laugh so…………let’s see! Doing it front of a live audience is the key for me, it all seems like good unpredictable fun."
The final show in the series will take place on Saturday July 25 in Iveagh Gardens as part of the Vodafone Comedy Festival.
