The Quietus Radio Day – September 1st

The award winning site and podcast The Quietus are doing a day of live radio on September 1st. It all looks excellent but from 7pm my brother The Last Skeptik is hosting and I’ll be guesting at some point after that too. Tune in, turn on, fall over: http://thequietus.com/articles/23054-quietus-day-of-radio

Shopkeepers in Leith

I did a silly tweet while living in Leith this year for the EdFringe. Turns out, people quite liked it, to the extent the Poke did an article about it. Which is nice. http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2017/08/30/shopkeepers-leith-no-time-fancy-names/

Started Blogging Again…

Which, as I read that back, sounds like a complaint you might make to your GP. But it’s not. Instead it’s that I haven’t done a blog in ages, so I thought I should. Here you go. ’14 Years A Clown’ https://www.tiernandouieb.co.uk/2017/08/14-years-a-clown/

14 Years A Clown

Things I Learned From This Year’s EdFringe

Right, that’s another Edinburgh Fringe over with. Here’s a little post I did about it:

Reviews in Edinburgh this year have been a bit sparse, with lots of acts sticking stars on their posters from weird community radio stations or someone on Twitter who wanted free tickets. So, I’m very chuffed to have a lovely 4* review from Three Weeks, which I think sums up what my show is all […]

Another Edinburgh Fringe Q & A!

Here’s another Edinburgh Fringe Q & A courtesy of the excellent Punchline Comedy. Read some things what I wrote. Come to my show: In the Hot Seat: Tiernan Douieb

More EdFringe Q&A’s….

This one is a Q&A for Broadway Baby. One question they asked was ‘ask yourself a Q then answer it’. They then don’t specify which one that is on the write up. If I’d known that, I’d have asked something else. Anyway, enjoy guessing which one it is! http://bwb.by/8zn

Punchline Recommends….

… Well my show amongst lots of other really actually good ones. Very nice to be included. If you’re at the Edinburgh Fringe, do come along: Punchline’s 2017 Fringe Recommendations

Leicester Ride Pics

As per every year, last week I did my annual shouting at children who’ve just passed their Leicester cycling proficiency test. This year the Leicester Ride event was at the cathedral which was an amazing setting. Though I’m quite worried I upset the bones of Richard III by shouting fart jokes at him.
