Legendary Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan is going back on tour with a staggering 24 dates across Ireland, including two dates in Galway and a total of five in Connacht.

Tomfoolery is said to be a “a high energy mix of outrageous idea’s and whimsical flights of fancy.”

The comic has been mostly seen on TV these days - with his The Tommy Tiernan Show conquering ratings on RTÉ. His Live at the Apollo show hit primetime on BBC and his turn as Gerry on Derry Girls has only cemented his reputation abroad.

Tiernan has been a pillar of Irish comedy since the mid-90s. His ‘Tommy Tiernan Live’, ‘Cracked’ and ‘Loose’ are DVD bestsellers in this country.

His new tour “Tomfoolery” is highly anticipated and to keep up with demand the tour has 24 dates in Ireland.

The spread of the tour dates is commendable - Tommy’s schedule show one serious commitment to bringing his tour country-wide.

There are five dates in Connacht with the first two shows of the tour taking place at The Royal in Castlebar, Mayo (Feb. 11 and 12) and one in Carrick-on-Shannon, Leitrim (March 3 and 4). However, the biggest dates out west are in Salthill at Leisureland. TommyTiernan plays two shows in Salthill on February 24 and 25.

Tomfoolery will visit 11 counties in total, very literally covering the four corners with dates in Donegal, Antrim, Kerry and Wexford. The tour then concludes with three dates in his TV home of Derry at the Millenium Forum on May 26-28.

Tickets for Tommy Tiernan’s Tomfoolery go on sale on December 1 at 10am.

Tommy Tiernan Show recap: Roisin Conaty on growing up as Irish in London 

Tommy Tiernan Show with Roisin Conaty 

Comedian and actor Roisin Conaty spoke on the season finale of the Tommy Tiernan Show about what it was like growing up in London as the daughter of Irish parents and painted a larger-than-life portrait of her “really funny” mum.

“Growing up in Camden in the ‘80s, I never spent one single school holiday in London. The second the bell went, it was straight out and dumped into a field in Cork.

“My mum was from a family of 12 sisters and one brother. A lot of women… and none of them quiet. They inspired me. They were very glamourous, loud, very funny Irish women.” 

While Conaty’s dad had a very dry sense of humour, her mum is “mad funny, you just don’t know what will come out of her mouth”. 

The comedian spoke about her “really, really close” relationship with her mother. 

“We speak 10 times a day. It’s always been that way.” 

And she spoke of the tenderness she feels towards her parents who split up at a time when it was “unusual for Irish people to divorce in London”.

Tiernan wondered if there’s “a part of” Conaty that loves taking care of people. 

“Yeah…making people laugh, you’re taking the emotional temperature of the room, and can I fix it is definitely a thing,” Conaty said.

Tiernan was also joined by musician Mik Pyro who opened up about being shy. 

“Yeah, I’m very shy. Not as bad as I get older. I’ve found certain ways around it. Might not be much healthy ways. I’m deeply shy. I also love talking to people, but still I find it hard to make eye contact as you can probably see.” 

Pyro said his father had similar social anxiety and recalled how “freaked out” he’d be going into a shop. 

“He was terrified of the world but he ran a company that had 200 employees,” he said of his dad.

The show’s final guest was weightlifter Thammy Nguyen, who became very emotional while speaking to Tiernan about her early life in Ireland after she arrived here as a six-year-old with her dad, having left her mother and brother back in Vietnam. 

“When I talk about my younger life I get really emotionally upset….I’m crying already because I actually don’t talk about my past. I didn’t have money, English, friends, no family… so it was just a sad time.”

 Telling Tiernan that she is tough and she likes achieving goals, Nguyen spoke about how her biggest fear was not qualifying for the Olympics. Now she has accepted that she won’t qualify – and is no longer fearful. 

“I’m still here. I have no fear now,” she said.

The finale of the Irish comic’s popular show, saw him meet comedian Róisín Conaty, musician Mik Pyro and weightlifter Thammy Nguyen.

Over the course of the season Tommy interviewed the likes of Irish football legend Shay Given, The Chase’s Bradley Walsh and fellow comic Deirdre O’Kane .

With RTÉ One’s 9.40pm slot opening up for the summer, Pat Shortt will be premiering his brand-new music show on Saturday, April 29 at 9.15pm.

Joined by Stockton’s Wing frontman Mike Hanrahan, Songs of Ireland will see Pat traveling across the country to hear the sounds of the nation.

Shining a light on Irish music, musicians and culture, the show will also see Pat and Mike learning about the history behind some of Ireland’s biggest tunes.

Once they get to grips with the sound and lore of the songs, Pat and Mike will show off their own musical talents in pubs all over the country.

Airing for just over an hour, once Songs of Ireland concludes, viewers will be treated to a showing of Bridget Jones’ Diary at 10.20pm.

Considering the recent confirmation of the franchise’s fourth film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, now is the perfect time to become obsessed with the Renée Zellweger phenomenon.

Meanwhile, it appears that RTÉ will be entering the summer TV season without a weekend talk show for the first time in several years.

With no word about the potential return of Angela Scanlon’s Ask Me Anything, it’s likely viewers will have to make do with the final weeks of Patrick Kielty’s first Late Late Show season.
