Irish comedian Joanne McNally received a standing ovation as she made her US TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old had the audience in stitches with her stand-up routine about dating, relationships and the realities of life as a single woman over 40.<\/p>\n
And it wasn\u2019t just the audience who were impressed. Host Jimmy Fallon embraced McNally at the end of her routine, exclaiming: “Come on! What are you talking about? That\u2019s awesome! That\u2019s how you do it!”<\/p>\n
As the audience rose to its feet in the applause, Fallon added: “Look at that \u2013 standing O!”<\/p>\n

McNally appeared on the show ahead of filming her upcoming Netflix comedy special, Pinotphile, at New York’s Town Hall on 7 November as part of the New York Comedy Festival.<\/p>\n
Born in Roscommon and raised in Dublin, McNally also co-hosts the hit podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, with Vogue Williams.<\/p>\n
The pair have taken the award-winning podcast on tour, performing sold-out live shows around the world.<\/p>\n
McNally is currently appearing on BBC’s Celebrity Traitors, where her questionable guesses about the identities of the Traitors have provided plenty of amusement for viewers and fellow contestants alike.<\/p>\n
She is due to perform her Pinotphile show to Dublin’s 3Arena for four nights in December, having become the first Irish comedian to sell out three dates at the venue.<\/p>\n
Tickets are still available for the 11 December show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Irish comedian Joanne McNally received a standing ovation as she made her US TV debut on The Tonight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-808588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
