Tommy Tiernan: tommedian
Tommy Tiernan is bringing his brand new show tommedian to Ally Pally Theatre in April 2024.
This is a wild, uninhibited and fiercely physical display of stand-up, a fun-fueled trip through the comic imagination of one of the best comedians in the world. A madcap parade of characters, memories and ridiculous flights of fancy. Theatrical, poetical and slightly unhinged… Don’t you dare miss it!
Tiernan’s legendary record-breaking ticket sales extend across the world. The Star of Channel 4’s hit show Derry Girls and Live at the Apollo (BBC) and the host of his own highly critically praised improvised chat show on Ireland’s RTE 1.
“A feral philosopher king.” The Scotsman
“Tiernan can drop in turns of phrase so exquisite that you could call them a sound installation and enter them for the Turner prize.” The Times
Recommended for ages 15+
THIS EVENT IS A PHONE FREE SHOW:
What is a “phone-free show”?
Just as it sounds. Use of phones/digital devices will not be permitted in the performance space.
How does it work?
Upon arrival at the venue, Yondr (the phone-pouching company hired to do this) will have staff available to help you put your phone in a lockable pouch that you keep throughout the night. There will be ticket writers on site to assist if you have a mobile ticket on your phone. If you have reserved seating please take note of your Block, Row and Seat Number from your digital ticket before you arrive at the venue.
What if I have an emergency and need to access my phone?
You can unlock your phone from the pouch at any time by going to the clearly marked ‘Phone Use Area’ located within the venue. Please see any usher or Yondr staff if you need help finding it.
What about bars or merchandise?
Please bring your physical credit/debit card with you for use at the bar/concessions in the venue.
Why are you doing this & is it mandatory?
Yes, it is mandatory. We’re convinced this makes for a better show for everyone involved. Our eyes open a bit wider, and our senses are slightly more heightened when we lose the technology crutch we’ve become accustomed to. And yes, it’s a non-negotiable deal.
