Tommy Tiernan presents a different type of chat show on RTÉ 2fm every Saturday in July between 1-2pm.
The Tommy Tiernan Show sees the top comedian interview two guests every week in front of a live audience. But there’s a catch: Tommy doesn’t know who he is interviewing until they walk out onto the stage. Each week also sees some of Ireland’s favourite and up-and-coming bands take to the stage.
Tommy 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.”
This week, the final show in the series takes place in Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens in association with the Vodafone Comedy Festival.
