It’s been an amazing few years for Dara O’ Briain, his stand up gigs have been a huge success and he has been consistently hilarious as the presenter on Mock the Week, one of Britain’s funniest TV panel-stand-up-improv type shows.
Maybe that’s one of the big reasons behind his new book, Tickling the English. His affection for the English comes through a lot of his comedy, but this is matched by his bemusement of us.
Essentially, Dara’s hit the comedy big time and with a massive tour date set for 2010, this year will see him continue to juggernaut us into submission to him Irish comedy might.
The tour takes in the Bristol Hippodrome 3 March, the Lowry Centre Salford 14 & 15 May and the New Theatre Oxford 24 & 26 May before charging into the HMV Hammersmith Apollo, London, on the 17, 18, 19, 24 & 25 September 2010.
