Here’s Dan Tiernan’s set at the prestigious New Faces Of Comedy showcase at Montreal’s Just For Laughs comedy festival.
He talks about his dyspraxia in the six-minute routine, which the festival describes as ‘as raw as they come, and the proof that trauma really DOES pay off’.
The set was recorded in July but only just posted onto YouTube:
