Al Porter reveals his dad is the best matchmaker

Al Porter has revealed that his best matchmaker is his dad, Mick.

The Tallaght native is currently dating but admitted that he’s attracted to the wrong type of men – straight men.

“I’m constantly falling in love with straight men and my dad hates that. He’s like, ‘The last one had a baby seat in his car – would you not just meet a gay man?'” Al said.

“My dad has decided and says, ‘You don’t need a gay man, you need a very gay man. You need someone who likes to go to Mamma Mia and Priscilla Queen of the Desert,'” the comedian revealed to Evoke.ie

“I’ll say I want a footballer and he’ll be like ‘You don’t need a footballer, they’re no good for you.’

“We’ve done a complete U-turn, because I remember pretending to check out girls with my dad, so it’s interesting.”

The 23-year-old further revealed that he’s excited to start doing more panel shows, especially over in the UK.

“There are hopefully more UK panel shows coming up and I’d love to do another short for Sky Arts.

“Hopefully I’ll come back and do more Cutting Edge when it’s back, because I really enjoyed that,” Al added.
