Al Porter is one of the most sought after comedians and MCs in the country. He was runner-up in this year's Craic Attack comedy competition. He's been described as one of Dublin’s, if not Ireland’s, youngest, campest and most engaging comic performers. He is best known as the Dame of 73 Dame St. – that is, The Olympia Theatre, whose pantomime he has been a part of for the past seven years. Alan’s comic talent has been described as “sharp” (Irish Times, 2011), “confident and articulate” (Irish Times, 2008), and “outrageous” (Irish Independent, 2012). Christian, Jake and Michael chat to Al about his start in stand-up comedy and his aspirations for the future.
