Al Porter

Al Porter (born January 6, 1993) is an Irish comedian, active since 2013.

Born in Tallaght, Dublin, Al started to work in Pantomime and has been the headline attraction in the annual Christmas Pantomime in the Olympia Theatre in Dublin since he was in his early 20's.

By the time he was 22 Al was also able to sell out Dublin comedy venue Vicar Street for 3 nights as the headline act.

In August 2016, while performing at the Edinburgh Festival he was mistakenly described as a "former panto star" by The Guardian. Despite that error The Guardian conceded "the sheer thrill, frankly, of encountering such a steamroller crowd-pleasing talent.", the same routine was described by The London Standard as "superslick stand-up"

In 2017, it was announced that Porter would be joining Today FM and taking over the 12am-2:30pm slot previously held by Dermot and Dave with Porter's show debuting on Monday February 13, 2017.
