Tiernan Mompletes Marathon!
Updated : Apr 14, 2009
Irish funny man Tommy Tiernan has set a new world record after completing over 36 hours of a continuous comedy marathon at a Galway venue over Easter Weekend.
The comic went on stage on Good Friday afternoon to begin his gruelling schedule of non-stop solo stand-up comedy.
Tommy stood for almost the entire event and got through on a diet of pasta, fruit, water and high-energy drinks.
The marathon ended at 3am Sunday morning when the world record was broken.
Tiernan plans to donate profits from the event to charity.
VeryHappyPig knows what it was like to put a smile on people’s faces but we don’t know about putting in a 36 hour shift. We get a little grumpy if we don’t get our sleep.
