Al Porter is one of Ireland’s best comic talents. The Tallaght man’s world-class stand-up is critically acclaimed, IFTA Award-winning, Edinburgh Best Show nominated and he was the youngest act to ever headline and sell out many Vicar Streets and Cork Marquee! An Al show is always a hilarious and an entertaining night out. ★★★★ “a steamroller crowd pleasing talent” - The Guardian Six years ago, Al’s career stopped abruptly as he was called out online for misconduct in his teens and early twenties. As he wrote himself in an article in 2022, he “had to listen and grow up and make changes” having been “hugely immature... inconsiderate...a mess, oblivious, obnoxious...an idiot” and having let a lot of people down. Now, six years later, sober, wiser and a much more mature man at 30, he’s back on stage and his self-aware, self-deprecating stand up is better than ever. ★★★★ "shades of Dave Allen...born to be on stage" - Chortle His return has him selling out nationwide with rave reviews from Edinburgh Fringe 2023 ★★★★ in The Scotsman “Dazzling flair for comic detail…Unflinchingly hard on himself……brilliant and very funny” ★★★★ in Chortle “No self pity… Gloriously upbeat… irrepressible stand-up storytelling” The new reviews coming in show Al hasn’t lost his flair as one of Irelands best live performers and is every bit as funny as his last tour in 2016, which was loved by critics and fans alike!
