THE TOMMY TIERNAN Show wrapped up its first very successful season last night.
The guests were Philly McMahon, musician John Grant, and comedian Jo McNally.
Such is the nature of the show, Tommy soon had her talking about where she gets her material from. Online dates and her menstrual cycle, since you asked.
Far from her usual Republic of Telly messer persona, she spoke about issues such as her adoption and experience with bulimia, and how it eventually enabled her to work on her comedy writing.

She explained how she tried to hold down a job in PR, until she eventually stopped functioning and had to be taken home by her mother and eventually enter treatment.
People loved her honesty
She also spoke about her adoption, and how she later found her birth parents
One was in Ireland, and one in Australia. She wanted to find them because not looking like your family can make you feel ‘alone’.
After suspecting Twink and Johnny Logan were her biological parents, she contacted a randomer in Donegal she found on Facebook and thought looked like her. She wasn’t her birth mother, but Jo didn’t believe her.
It wasn’t her mam, but it made for a damn good story.
