Tommy Tiernan in the firing line ahead of Live at the Marquee gig
Tommy Tiernan doesn’t revel in his reputation as Irish comedy’s enfant terrible. In fact, he flinches from it. Controversy saps his spirit.
“It drains me,” he says, in the kitchen of his house in Galway. “I get very drained. People who criticise… that’s their business, not mine. But it does affect me, for sure. I find it very wearying — even though it comes from someone else. It drags at my spirit.”
