Tommy Tiernan is now the Guinness world record holder for non-stop solo stand up comedy clocking in at 36 hours and 15 minutes. Starting at Nuns Island Galway, Tiernan performed 1 hour shows followed by 5 minute breaks to a new audience each hour.
Although Tiernan was advised to conserve energy while on stage, he refused to even sit and performed almost the entire 36+ hours without ever sitting. His on-stage diet consisted of “a mixture of pasta, fruit and sugary sweets” and “he sipped at water and high energy drinks.” After setting the record, Tiernan’s team drove him home to rest.
I contacted Tiernan’s reps to find out if each one hour set was new material or if they were 36 similar shows. No response has yet been received.
