Up until then, he had only performed for crowds of 50 or 60 people, as the stand-up comedy scene was a "new thing" in Ireland in the '90s. But Leary's show brought in around a thousand people.. "I could feel it hit my chest, the sound of the roaring. And I just got addicted to that." Even after years of doing stand-up, Tiernan gets stunned by his guests. When O'Connor came on his show in 2020, he looked visibly scared . But he believes that's part of his job.For Tiernan, hosting the show is like going on a blind date. "You would ruin the possibility of actual connection in the blind date if you rehearsed meeting the person," he says.
