Tommy Tiernan 'Something Mental' album

Winner of 6 International comedy Awards, Irish stand-up superstar Tommy Tiernan finally hits America with Something Mental. Wild, unpredictable and politically incorrect Tommy is now regarded as one of the top stand-ups in the world. Unleashing a torrent of satire, offbeat observations and hilarious stories he continues his interrogation into the big ideas, sex, family, religion. Nothing is sacred as he takes the audience by the hand and leads them into the devilish wonderland of his mind where he revels in the world's absurdity. You're in the hands of a master here!

Having conquered the rest of the English-speaking world, Ireland’s top comedian, Tommy Tiernan, will release his first U.S. special, “Something Mental,” on CD and DVD on Tuesday, March 11 from Image Entertainment. “Something Mental” will also premiere as an hour Comedy Central special on Friday, March 14.

Recorded at The Mercury Theater in Chicago, “Something Mental” captures Tiernan’s boundless energy taking his audience on a journey through what the British press called, “the devilish wonderland of his mind.” Weaving contemplations and observations on relationships, religion, being Irish and his travels through the U.S. Tommy’s stories blend a playful absurdity with an intellectual depth that cuts with a philosophical edge.

The “Something Mental” CD features Tommy’s hour performance with an additional bonus track. In addition to the hour performance of the main program, the “Something Mental” DVD features over 30 minutes of extras including “Walk in the Windy City,” “Interview With Tommy” and “Meet The Badger: Outtakes.”

Considered one of the best comedians in the English-speaking world, Tommy Tiernan has sold-out performances from London to New York to Melbourne and continues to break his own box office records in his home country of Ireland. Winner of The Perrier Award at The Edinburgh Festival and the British Comedy Award for Best Stand-up, Tiernan’s four previous DVD’s have all debuted as number one sellers. His most recent DVD release in Ireland, “OK, Baby,” was released in November of 2007 selling over 100,000 copies in five weeks.
