A great double-bill at the Cuirt poetry festival in Galway today sees two of the very best Irish comics doing "readings". Tommy Tiernan (above) will be reading from his debut novel which will be published later this year while MacPherson will be emoting words of wisdom from his Deep Probings masterpiece. They're at the Town Hall Theatre today at 6 p.m.
