Tommy Tiernan will take his controversial comedic style to a number of intimate Irish venues on his A Work in Progress Tour this autumn.

Tiernan made one of his first stage appearances on BBC’s Stand Up Show, which he then hosted until 2002. Since then he’s performed numerous sold-out shows across Europe and the United States and began his own comedy radio bit, Comic Inquisition, on RTE 1 in 2004. His accolades range from the Ireland’s Funniest Living Person Award at the 2006 People of the Year Awards and, at one time, the Guiness World Record for the longest comedy show.

Tickets go on sale for €25 on Thursday, July 5, at 10 a.m .
