See the following:

I heard the man shout out a, “Good luck, lad!”

Should there be a comma after a? Thanks!

    Nope. No comma.

    This is how the Smithsonian Magazine handled the punctuation in a functionally similar situation involving a very famous (on U.S. radio and TV) tagline: "A fiery horse with [the] speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty 'Hi-Yo Silver!" ... The Lone Ranger!" As Hot Licks says, no comma.
