Vicki Notaro meets Al Porter, one of the brightest talents Irish comedy has seen in a long time.

IF YOU were to see a promotional photo of the comedian Al Porter, say for his forthcoming Irish tour, you might get the wrong end of the stick.

With his retro hair, hyper-camp expressions verging on gurning and vintage suits, it’d be easy to think that this was some lad doing a Frankie Howard impression, donning the accoutrements of the past in order to stand out from the crowd.
