Tommy: To Tell You The Truth (2014x2)

: 29, 2014

Tommy Tiernan completed a European tour in 2014 where each night he performed without any script or preparation. “The idea came from a realisation over the last couple of years that the bits of the show that were improvised each night were often the funniest bits,” says Tiernan. “Then I started listening to this piano player called Keith Jarrett who does full-length improvised concerts. I asked myself: Is that possible in stand-up?" This programme documents the results.
