About this episode

In this episode, Dan Tiernan shares personal insights about his sister's leukaemia diagnosis and its impact on his life and comedy.

In part two of Emily's walk with the brilliant Dan Tiernan , the conversation takes a more personal turn as Dan opens up about his sister's leukaemia diagnosis, the impact it had on his family, and how her resilience has shaped his outlook on life. They also chat about his latest stand-up show, Quartz and All , why it's his most personal hour yet, and how he's learned to turn life's more difficult moments into comedy without ever losing sight of the people behind the stories. If you haven't already, do go back and listen to part one. And if you'd like to see Dan live, Quartz and All is at the Edinburgh Festival throughout August before touring the UK.
