We know he can act, do stand-up and host his own chat show – but can Tommy Tiernan sing? Next month he stars in his very first musical, The House Must Win, with script and music written by 42-year-old Cork singer-songwriter Mick Flannery.
“I haven’t heard him sing yet,” Flannery confesses, in answer to the burning question, when we sit down after a rehearsal in Nuns Island theatre in Galway – a rehearsal Tiernan was not required to attend.
