The reviewer said it all in his first sentence. 'Its a sign of a good joke if, its funny but you don't understand the reference', he clearly didn't understand any of the references. Everyone else clearly did. Isn't it up to the audience to decide and not some scaldy baastard who just didn't get it?

Tommy is a living proof of the naked joy to be found in performing comedy. A class act all round.

Derek, March 2008

I am from Navan and I have seen Tommy perform. If indeed you can call it performing. Tommy is not what I consider a comedian. Unsophisticated is how I would describe Tommy

This review is obviously written by an English critic, who is trying to tell irish people what to laugh at, and what is funny. If a comic makes his audience laugh, then he has accomplished what he set out to do.

Lets get something straight here. The point of a stand up comic is to make an audience laugh and entertain them. Tommy Nicholson does this well. This review says it's not delivered with any charm....does it matter?

John Travis, September 2004

A gig is all about how much the audience enjoys it. Whoever reviwed this would be what Tommy would call a lantern jawed gobshite

I have never heard him refer to women as bitches. He may refer to a specific woman as a bitch but not in the misogynistic all-encompassing way lazily suggested by the reviewer. Tommy also never uses the word "who'er" to refer to a woman. That term is referred for the male gender. It's not a term of abuse in Ireland either. As for all of this being charmlessly done I couldn't disagree more.

Tommy Nicholson is a comedy legend in Ireland. His material may not appeal to Englanders, but we love him so leave him alone.
