He stopped being funny the day he paired up with that mouthpiece clown Hector and based 100% of his act on slagging the irish religious beliefs and peppered his "jokes" with cursing for affect.

Do you mean for the podcast? Has that not only happened in the last year or two?

He's been "slagging the irish religious beliefs" his entire career
but despite that he's probably more spiritual/religous than most comedians around

I like it when he shouts his joke.

Is 'bogey' good or bad?

Same accent he used in his early standup. Non story tbf

Parachutes

He just shouts and expects the crowd to laugh. Was never much of a fan.

I think the op means his Nigerian accent he just did on his show to Nigerian guests, I don’t see a problem it was funny and a brilliant interview

Far less shouty early on.

Fine Cheers

Not sure what the issue is here. I think its hilarious and he uses it regularly in his gags. He couldn't help himself with the 2 girls tonight. I think they thought it was gas too.

He may as well have walked away and let them talk to each other during parts of it. I say they'd quite a bit of drink before they came on too.

Are we trying to start a racism debate here or what's the purpose of the thread? If so, close it up, nothing to see here.

Tommy is a legend, his podcast with hector is brilliant. He doesn't give a feck what he says.

Whats wrong with a bit of giddy silliness? Makes a nice change from the misery porn constantly being peddled by the media.

Agree. I think the producers have run out of interesting guests to find, the guests on the last show or two have been pretty poor compared to earlier this season. The horse lad last night was vaguely interesting but the others meh. And I'm a fan of his and the show (well except for Fred the annoying MC)

He did and it was the right thing to do to just let them talk, i really enjoyed the interview it was so natural.
I also found it funny how the poet girl was so funny and easy going, yet her poetry was so serious and intense.
Artists, they are a funny breed.

Is there an 'Unfunny Comedians' thread?

I was never a fan of his stand-up and only paid to see him once. The room had the energy of private event at a stag and hen do that were sharing the same hotel. I don't know who did more roaring, him or the audience.

His chatshow is decent though. He has a talent for dealing with people and is naturally curious about them. When he turns down his stand-up persona, he's alright
