Tommy Tiernan has been reigning supreme as one of Ireland’s most well-known and loved comedians for the past 20 years. We’ve been firm fans of his work since his appearance as a depressed Fr Kevin in the final episode of Father Ted (when Ted gets his groove on to the theme from Shaft, you know the bit).
To celebrate the launch of the Navan man’s first DVD in three years,
Stray Sod, we’ve put together a selection of our favourite Tommy Tiernan moments to date. Sit back and enjoy...
