Tommy Teirnan's World Tour of Tipperary and Offaly
The Brian Boru, Cashel, Co Tipperary Thurs 25 062-63381, touring until Nov 29 www.tommytiernan.comAfter the heated media debate about his Holocaust jokes at the Electric Picnic, no doubt Tiernan will be glad to get back to what he does best with this micro tour. For a long time the comedian has avoided the orthodox comedy venues and sought out places that don’t normally host comedy shows. A previous “world tour” of Mayo was such a success that he is now venturing to Tipperary and Offaly, starting in Cashel and finishing up in Rahan, Co Offaly on November 29th.The great joy of these shows is the chance to get up close and personal with Tiernan and see him buzzing off such intimate surrounds. With limited capacity only available, best run to get a ticket for any of these shows.
