The first in a new series of the show in which Alan Davies and a gang of droll types blether on around a table, unrehearsed, and settle upon the subject of the show by the end. Giving Davies's own floppy mop of hair a run for its money is Seann Walsh, joined by Holly Walsh (no relation), Jimmy Carr and Tommy Tiernan. All human life is there, from drink-driving, doing Nazi salutes to Prince Charles, falling asleep under the coats in TK Maxx and match-making for Prince Harry.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 6th January 2015Radio Times review
Alan Davies returns for more drink-fuelled post-pub-style chewing of fat with his comedy mates. It's a format that makes a virtue out of its lack of structure and for a lot of the time it feels like comedians showing off round a table over a host of topics from cornflakes to the royals to sharing stories about how they were sacked.
Sometimes this can lead to some decent comedy from a line-up that includes Seann Walsh, Holly Walsh, Jimmy Carr and Tommy Tiernan. The latter is especially good, especially when reflecting on the eccentricities of the Ireland of his childhood.

Chortle, 17th August 2014Review: Tommy Tiernan at Latitude
Tiernan might have dropped more f-bombs in his first five minutes than in Quentin Tarantino’s entire ouvre, but he makes a convincing argument for why swearing is such an implicit, explicit part of the Irish tongue.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th July 2014Latitude review: Tommy Tiernan
For those on whom the wistful, over-aching national nostalgia is a little lost, Tiernan may offer little to take away, but at Latitude Festival today, Tiernan is king.

British Comedy Guide, 27th May 2014Comedy review: Tommy Tiernan
Plenty of comics have routines about being disturbed by their children in the morning. But Tiernan's account of his serial killer-like toddler arriving "like fog" has a rare lyricism.
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 24th May 2014Opinion: Critic's notes - Audience...again
