If you saw Eleanor Tiernan on the Irish Fest Comedy Stage you know she's funny. Very, extremely funny. Not surprisingly, you're not the only one who thinks so. Tim Reilly, the Irish Vice Counsel, based in Chicago had seen Eleanor's gig at KCIF* and thought she was very, extremely funny too. He set up her with Chicago stand up gig at which Rosie O'Donnell did a set, unannounced. Rosie saw Eleanor's show and liked it, as did a producer with OWN (Oprah's network). Now there's a chance that Eleanor will get asked to do a spot on Rosie's upcoming show on OWN.
Big things happen to talented people at KCIF. Way to go Eleanor! Here's Elanor's account of the weekend and the events following. Click to enlarge.
*Tim was scheduled to do a band intro with me Saturday night at 8:00 but blew it off to catch Eleanor's show. So really, this is all thanks to me. You're welcome.
