Tommy Tiernan: A comedian who has reached the top but shows no sign of stopping

If you were lucky enough to get your hands on tickets for Tommy Tiernan's 'Under the Influence' gig at Cork's Live at the Marquee last night then it is safe to say you probably left with a sore jaw and puffy eyes, and this time, the pollen count can't be blamed, writes Sally Gorman.

Despite being bunged up with hayfever, Tiernan took to the stage shortly after 8pm and with a display of top class comedy, managed to keep a packed out Marquee in convulsions for over two hours.
