Just For Laughs is thrilled to bring the "Bono of Irish Comedy", Tommy Tiernan, and his current full-length solo show to Canadian audiences this spring. Tommy brings audiences to their feet by tackling topics of sex, family and religion with intensity and honesty that's as thought-provoking as it is funny. This six-time Montreal Just For Laughs Festival favourite is second only to U2 when it comes to ticket sales in Ireland! Hailed as "The Funniest Living Irish Person" by Ireland's People of the Year Awards, Tommy not only smashes box office records in his homeland, but across the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Now it's time for Canada! Tommy is second only to U2 when it comes to live ticket sales in Ireland. The Bovinity Tour culminated in 3 sold out shows to a total audience of 12,000 in the Marquee Cork. No other artist, Irish or International has ever managed to do this. It's an astounding amount of tickets to sell for 3 days in one city. With his Loose tour he broke all Irish box office records by selling out in venues across the country including a to date staggering 166 dates in Dublin's one thousand seat theatre, Vicar Street. Not only has Tommy found success at home in Ireland and the UK but also in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and America. The Gala performance in the Just for Laughs Tour in Montreal in 2005, saw 2000 Canadians on their feet crying out for more. In 2006 he headlined the first ever Irish gala at the Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival and he was invited to join the Just for Laughs National Tour in 2007. Tommy was invited back to perform a solo run at 2010's Toronto Comedy Festival. In April 2009 Tommy set the Guinness World Record for the longest Stand-Up Comedy Show by an individual by a staggering 36 hours and 15 minutes.
