“John Colleary is my favourite comic, I learned so much from him… playful, inventive and brilliant. The best” – Tommy Tiernan
Apart from being one of the most in-demand comics in the land, John Colleary has also co-written and starred in IFTA nominated shows, The Savage Eye and Irish Pictorial Weekly. Other TV credits include appearances on Hardy Bucks and Bridget & Eamon Stand & Deliver: Live from Róisín Dubh and The Panel. A talented actor and mimic, John featured as one third of The Gusset Brothers on The Tommy Tiernan Show.
He has also scooped an IMRO Award for his topical sketch writing and performance on Today FM’s drivetime flagship, The Last Word; and is a favourite at Ireland’s top comedy clubs and festivals.
Having toured extensively with Tommy Tiernan in recent years, John has since performed consecutive successful solo tours of his own, Loud And Colleary (2023), Head Like A Shed (2024), and Wildlife (2025) all over the country with great success.
Autumn 2026 promises more success for John when he tours his brand new show, Mighty Quack, nationwide. Be sure to catch him on the road.
