More about the book
In nearly three decades as a performer, Tommy Tiernan has never wanted to play it safe. So, when it came to doing a chat show, he threw out the rule book: going in blind, not knowing who would turn up. It could be a global star or a statesman, or someone unknown to Tommy and most of his audience. It's high-wire stuff and makes for electrifying viewing. Winging It brings together twenty-one extraordinary interviews from The Tommy Tiernan Show - a mix of the profound, the profane, the funny, and the moving. Tommy's belief in honest conversation is at the heart of Winging It. Whether getting to grips with the finer points of boxing or preserving history with an archivist. Or talking God with an old friend or mental health with a creative. Or sitting with moments of pain in conversations about grief, FGM, or drinking. It's all about curiosity, bravery, and a willingness to listen. Winging It includes material that did not make the TV screen and the interviews are as gripping to read as they were to watch.
