Tiernan laughs way to the bank

DVD sales and sell-out gigs across the globe last year pushed accumulated profits at two entertainment firms owned by comedian Tommy Tiernan to almost €500,000 last year.

Tiernan has long been one of Ireland’s most popular — and controversial — comedians. New accounts for his two firms show combined accumulated profits at the end of December last year increased to €489,492.

Combined profits at Mabinog Ltd and Mabinog Publishing Ltd increased from €423,011 to €489,492 last year.
