The Dubliner is back working as a gigging comedian after allegations of sexual misconduct put a stall to his career back in 2017 but says he only blames himself
Al Porter says "I was the reason everything fell apart" after allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behaviour saw him step back from his career six years ago.
"And on reflection, when I look at that – at the time, in November 2017 – I was 24 and totally unprepared for that." "I think Gay could tell ‘this isn’t an intentional part of your act, you don’t have control over this, you don’t have a handle on it’ – and it was true," he told Miriam. He said: "That kind of non-existence of just being in your mam’s house and being in bed with the curtains drawn, unable to leave the bedroom and unable to leave the house – and with the the incredibly dark thoughts and the repeated ideation that ‘it would be better if I wasn't here, it will be better for my family, it would be better for my boyfriend – I brought this horribleness onto them’.
