Comedian Tommy Tiernan has banned the use of mobile phones by audience members at his shows, with those in attendance required to lock them up prior to the gig starting.
The TV show host and veteran comedian has made Irish showbiz history by becoming the first performer to make the move as he opened up about changes he's noticed in the audience.
During his most recent run of shows at Vicar Street in Dublin the audience were handed Yondr phone pouches, a patented system that guarantees performers a phone-free environment.
