Going along for the ride on the Al Porter express at the Marquee

Who’d have thought channelling the vibe of a 1970s game show host would work for a 24-year-old Dublin comedian?

Complete with the camp, ooh-er-missus, outrageous wrist flicks, hair tamed into a beautifully retro bouffant and silly skips across the stage... well, it does.

The Marquee was introduced to the sensational Mr Al Porter by The Sugar Cubes eight-piece band and bizarrely enough, he started belting out ‘Copacabana’, interspersed with comments about who he was going to ride.
