Few stand-up comedy DVDs really capture the energy of the comic. This was especially a challenge with Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan. This DVD has to be one of the best filming jobs ever.

Tiernan is in fine shape with only one lull near the end of the show. In many ways, this show is a celebration of the twisted and sometimes dark human experience, especially the Irish version of it. This stand-up comic has the ability to never really be negative while still pointing out flaws and imperfections

If you like Tiernan and have seen him live, you will certainly not be disappointed. If you are unfamiliar with this comic, it really is worth your dollars.

Simply put he is hilarious. His style of comedy takes you on a journey. He tells a story with 8-12 minute blocks and your laughing the whole way through. He talks about life and personal experiences which makes things a whole lot more relatable and humorus. Have watched it several times with different friends with different types of humor and everytime they all life, including myself even though I have seen it enough to recite verbatum. Plus he has an irish accent, what more could you ask for?

what a funny, funny guy! No-holds-barred humor. If you want to roar with a good, long belly-laugh, buy this DVD.

This is one of the funniest comedy stand-up DVDs. We watch all the Comedy Central stand-up routines and this one is a little darker than most of those. I have watched this edited and the unedited version is simply brilliant. It might be considered a little raunchy for some, but that doesn't offend me in the least so I found it extremely funny and enjoyable. This one is worth the purchase for your collection and you won't feel this is just like all the other ones in your collection.

I hope to see more of him! I usually do not laugh at comedians, so when I find one that really cracks me up I want to share with everyone. Tommy is the guy to share with everyone; I laughed until I hurt. I don't know what he's on, but he is really on top of his game!!!

This was one of the funniest stand up routines I have seen in awhile. I saw the edited version on Comedy Central and had to buy it. There was a lot of bleeped out language in the version on tv and they skipped the raunchiest parts, but the best parts were the same. I have watched it more than once. Friends I made watch it, said I should not have built it up because then it would be disappointing, but within five minutes they were laughing out loud. Now, it helps that my husband is from Dublin so I know the sense of humor, but Tiernan's timing is great! He is dead on in his description of some of the differences between Americans and our friends across the pond. If you like stand up that does not play to the lowest element in this country, check it out! It's not Jon Stewart but then again, he is not Irish.

This was an excellent stand up routine. It not only cracked me up, it also cracked up family members in their 60's and 80's as well.

Everyone I've shown this DVD has wanted their own. Pure energy. If you like George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, or Doug Stanhope, then you have seriously critical taste in comedy. If you like the energy (not material) of Dane Cook then you will be in awe of this guy; his energy is genuine and he is the real deal. He is way beyond the edge and a must for the edgy comedy connoisseur.
I can't quite make the comparison of Tiernan to any these guys, because he's in his own category. This can be checked out on youtube, there are plenty of clips of him. He IS pure energy, filtered into delicious raw comedy. A friend in Ireland first told me about him, and this DVD does not disappoint.

I caught a bit of his show on HBO, and laughed so hard, I had to buy his DVD! It was everything I expected and more. The man is a genius, the best thing to come out of Ireland. He can't be beat. Everyone in my family has watched his DVD now, and have loved it. Come back to the USA Tommy, I'll wait in line to buy a ticket!

This CD is GRAND ALTOGETHER! His timing is great, his accent charming and his sense of humor whimsical. I laughed out loud in my car while listening to it for the first time. If you're Irish it is even more enter-taining. I highly recommend this comedian
