STORYTELLING NIGHT WITH TOMMY TIERNAN
Shakespeare once wrote “All the world’s a stage and all its men and women are merely players.” Tonight the Town Hall in Skibbereen will be the stage for a storytelling night with the peerless Tommy Tiernan. The multi award winning comic will be telling slightly more laid back stories than usual, folktales, parables and myth mixed in with his own flights of fancy, all pondering, in a roundabout way, the big question, why are we here? Having recently broken the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous solo show by a comedian (36 hours 15 mins) and sell out World Tours of every other county he’s hit on his current World Tours jaunt around the country (including Galway, Limerick, Cork, Mayo, Donegal, Tipperary and many more), Tiernan is currently in irresistible form.
