I couldn't believe that people were laughing at his impressions of Polish people and refugees. 5 minutes in a guy shouted "racist" and of course Tommy was in up in arms straight away and most of the crowd were there to back him up. There were plenty of people around me less than impressed with his attempts at comedy. The guy seems to have been living off the back of one episode of father ted for most of his "career" and all I can say is thank christ we didn't actually pay in to see nothing more than a racist playing up to the generic paddy homophobic, racist sense of humour. I'm fairly sure last night's "performance" was significantly more right wing than usual thanks to your man heckling Tiernan, but has anyone else bee to the other shows?

I emailed him to tell him what I thought, in a poilte and nice way, said I thought he was funny and didnt feel he had to scrap the barrell so low.......No reply

The old Tommy hardly ever shouted he spoke softy and he the audience eating out of his hand. Now a days he just shouts and makes duck noises .. i still do find some of his stuff funny and would watch him on tv. Maybe he feels the need to shout because he's playing bigger venues someone should remind him he has a microphone. The best thing about his "ok baby" DVD was the bonus material of him on the stand up show in 1998. It's fantastic and i hope he can't back to that. I think this clip is pretty funnyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx_MAIR4Mfo

You seem to be also making a point that 'aw his comedy has no thought put into it' and he his clearly not intellectual enough to do clever comedy. In my opinion he is very clever,firstly he like everybody else knows that shock horror...controversy sells.Secondly he was clever enough to play off you 'intellectual people',and now he has an entire country of people like you talking about his show and filling out venues up and down the country.I would say thats pretty clever would'nt you? Im sure that Tommy won't lose any sleep tonight when he is sleeping on his big bed of money that guess what?....you have given him!!!Whos not so clever now.
