Comic Al Porter has confirmed he is returning to showbusiness with a series of gigs.
The star, 29, disappeared from public life in 2017, after an allegation of sexual assault was made against him which was later withdrawn. Al – who always denied any wrongdoing in the case – was cleared in November 2019 after the allegation was dropped but the former showman never emerged back into public life.
But revealing to fans on Facebook, Al has announced he will do a series of gigs, marking his stage return. The former Blind Date host said: “A good few people have asked if I’m doing any gigs, I am!” He said he was “excited” to do some “short spots of new material” in The Laughter Lounge in Dublin, Citylimits in Cork, Roisin Dubh Comedy, The Hot Spot Music Club, Dalkey Comedy Club and Kavanaghs Pub in Portlaoise.
