Al Porter

"Move over Graham Norton, Ireland's ascendant king of camp is Al Porter. 

With bold gags and bolder suits, the young Tallaght man is fast making a name for himself"
- Irish Independent

"Al Porter is bleedin' gas" - Jason Byrne

“One of the few comedians that actually makes me laugh” – David McSavage

“Hilarious!  One of the nicest, funniest lads around” – PJ Gallagher

“I think Al Porter is destined to be a star. You’ll see him on stage in Vicar Street, and you’ll see me in the audience laughing” – Karl Spain  


At 21, Al Porter is the youngest Irish comic in history to headline Vicar Street.

One of few comics to ever receive a standing ovation at Dublin’s Laughter Lounge in good company that includes Jimmy Carr and Rich Hall,
Al is a television regular on RTE’s Republic of Telly and is heard weekdays on RTE 2fm with Colm Hayes. But it’s Live on stage that he truly shines! 

Al Porter Is Yours promises a night of uproarious entertainment with stand up, sketch and song! Candid, playful and irreverent, Al Porter is a genuine showman with his modern take on old school light entertainment of yesteryear. 

Al has provided belly laughs at Sky Cat Laughs, Vodafone Comedy Festival, Electric Picnic, and at numerous fundraisers in Vicar Street and the Olympia Theatre.

This year alone Al has popped up on RTE’s Electric Picnic, Next Week’s News, The Savage Eye, and Callan’s Kicks. Despite his youth, this Christmas marked his 10th year starring in the Olympia Theatre pantomime. 

Live at Vicar Street on March 6th Al Porter is yours for the evening – Book now for a fabulous Friday night you won’t forget!
