Tommy Tiernan provides legendary slagging in Cork's Marquee

"Come in out of that searing sunshine and come into my tent," he says. "Ye're mad wild down here. I walked past a Montessori school in Youghal and the children were being taught to sing 'Fuck the Guards, Fuck the Guards'. I was in Inchydoney, Ireland's most expensive mental asylum. They're all walking around in bath robes and slippers, out of their heads, and thinking they're on their holidays."
