I'd only recommend buying this DVD if you have a spare couple months to get over your complete obsession with the humour, sensitivity and sheer intelligence of this man. Prepare to be taken to a higher plane and look down on the world with the eyes of a better, happier you. Outrageously funny, though some have accused his humour of being egocentrically irish, but frankly they are missing the point - Tiernan tirelessly treads the boundary between self-important reality and the disgustingly hilarious nature of the introspectively obsessed human race. He's almost the anti-comedian as you get the feeling there's a certain catharsis going on, rather than a plea for adoration. Occasionally he treads on a few toes (Sept 11th jokes are funny but uncomfortable) but then again, it doesn't do to be too relaxed with the world. Highlights include a bizzare( yet stunningly accurate, though physically incongruous)impression of a New Orleans style Jazz singer and a knicker-changing re-telling of a mad friends attempts at marathon running.
Tiernan's sophistication lies in between the lines - his sentences are like drum beats, playing a tune only he can hear at first. You can see the inspiration he takes from Ginsberg - the pithy sexual undertones and the passionate social commentary all wrapped up in "little-boy-wonder" have revolutionised the "popular" comedic scene for this viewer. Buy it at once, open your eyes and your mind - you'll never be the same again.

This video is more than likely the funniest you will ever see. Frseh Faced from the Emerald Isle, Tommy Tiernan will win you over with his mix of charming jokes and down right true statements. All in good fun though.
This will make you laugh and laugh and then possibly when you think you cant laugh anymore. he will make you laugh again.
Get it!!

This is by far the best EVER comedy DVD... Tommy Tiernan is a legend, a master of his art of funny. He is extremely hilarious and out of all his DVDs currently released this is still by far the best/my favourite! He is completely original and even better live. Words cannot express what this DVD means to me, you must see this for yourself... you wont be disappointed!!! ('',)
