Tommy Tiernan Has Just Announced A Nationwide Tour

Tommy Tiernan has been tickling the nation's funny bones ever since his star turn as Kevin the depressed priest in the final episode of Father Ted which first aired back in 1998. 

While no stranger to controversy, the mischievous funnyman has managed to maintain a loyal fanbase over the years and his candid and important discussions on his recent RTÉ chat show have thrust him towards a new audience. Tommy also recently appeared in the critically-acclaimed Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls in a role which gained him much praise. 

Despite his recent small screen success, the Donegal-born comedian has always been more at home on the stage and those who have yet to witness one of his high-energy performances will get a chance to change that this summer. 

Tiernan has announced a nationwide tour which will include 21 dates around the country from June until August. The full schedule for the show titled A Work In Progress was published on Nova.ie and reads as follows:
