The Tommy Tiernan Show returns to RTÉ this week with live audience

The new series of The Tommy Tiernan Show returns this week with a live studio audience. 

A master of improvisation, Tommy thrives on the adrenaline of no preparation, resulting in conversations full of adventure and surprise with people from all walks of life. 

Speaking ahead of the seventh series, he said: "The show is in many ways so unpredictable that it's impossible to tell people what to expect. It's like going to a party and not knowing who's going to be there. The only thing that I know for sure is that both myself and the guest are up for a conversation but where that conversation might go is anybody's guess. 

"There's a studio audience there this year so how that extra energy in the room affects the chat will be interesting to see. I sincerely hope that whatever happens on the night will continue to be of interest and entertainment to the Irish public. Many thanks for watching so far...” 

The new series begins this Saturday night (January 7, 2023) on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player at 9.40pm with all guests a surprise until the night.
