536 - DAN TIERNAN - From Dyspraxic Dinner Lady, To British Comedian Of The Year!

In this episode of Happy Hour, we spend 90 minutes with comedian Dan Tiernan who is as brilliant as he is bizarre. From dealing with dyspraxia, to working as a school dinner lady, to being crowned British Comedian Of The Year in 2022 - Dan doesn’t like to take the conventional path. His second EVER stand up gig was an impromptu set in New York, and he’s performed at Live At The Apollo with one of Jaack’s comedy heroes! He’s also tried his hand at acting (he caused a TV show to be axed after his appearance) and performing magic (Dan details a gruesome injury from when his trick went wrong). He shares why an audience member threw his entire drink over him at one of his shows, and the insult dealt by fellow comic Jon Richardson that Dan will never forgot. We also chat about his gout diagnosis, how gout affects his daily life, what his first gout symptoms were, what caused his gout… what we’re trying to say here is that it’s a very “gout heavy” episode. If you take just one thing away from this episode, make it Dan’s life-saving Natwest banking hack! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
