Tiernan Douieb ("Engaging ... with energetic impassioned delivery": Chortle)

Tiernan has been doing the stand-up thing for quite a while now. In that time that he's graced many a stage with his beardy face, playing gigs all over the UK and abroad. Douieb's friendly manner and fast paced gags have made him a highly sought after compere and act on the circuit.

Tiernan's took his debut solo show '28 Years Later' to the Edinburgh Festival 2009 where he had several sell out crowds and great reviews for his tenuously zombie linked rant about kidulthood, and has performed there most years since.

He has done a lot of work for the Comedy Club 4 Kids, which is a stand-up show for 6-11 year olds, invented by James Campbell. Tiernan rather enjoys these as its one of the few times the audience are on the same intellectual level as him. It is also one of the few gigs he has been heckled with the line 'My teacher's scared of bananas!'

Tiernan's also done a bit of telly work for CBBC, Orange Television, Virgin Media and a Carlsberg advert.

Regularly gigging for the top clubs, promoters and festivals, Tiernan has also supported Jim Jeffries on tour and a few years back he unknowingly had to follow Robin Williams on one of his surprise London appearances, no easy task.
