Join Tommy Tiernan in his brand new show ‘tommedian’, a fun-fueled trip through the comic imagination of one of the best comedians in the world.
This is a wild, uninhibited and fiercely physical display of stand up. A madcap parade of characters, memories and ridiculous flights of fancy. Theatrical, poetical and slightly unhinged…. Don’t you dare miss it!
Boasting record-breaking ticket sales across the world, the legendary comedian is also known as the star of Channel 4’s hit show Derry Girls, Live at the Apollo and the host of his own highly critically praised improvised chat show on Ireland’s RTE 1.

Phone-free shows feel different
At the request of the artist, this event will be a phone-free show using YONDR’s phone pouch system.
The use of phones and digital devices (including smart watches, cameras and recording devices) will not be permitted in Beacon Hall for the duration of this performance.
By preventing the intrusion of personal technology, the artist hopes to create a distraction-free experience to enhance your enjoyment of the event.
How does it work?
Ticket prices for this event include a charge for the use of YONDR’s services.
- Upon arrival, YONDR staff will be available to help you put your phone and devices in a lockable pouch.
- Your pouch will be locked when entering the performance space.
- You keep your devices on you at all times during the show.
- You can access your device at any time by tapping the pouch on an unlocking base outside of the phone-free area.
What if I need to use my phone?
You can unlock your phone from the pouch at any time by going to the clearly marked ‘Phone Use Area’ or tapping your pouch on an unlocking base.
Bristol Beacon and YONDR staff will be on hand if you have any questions or need help finding a ‘Phone Use Area’.
Why is this event phone-free?
The artist hopes to enhance your enjoyment of the event by preventing the use of digital devices. This is at the request of the event promoter and specific to this event. It is not a Bristol Beacon policy.
