Dara O'Briain at the Apollo

There is just no two ways about it, Dara is one of the very best comics around these days. Very funny, very genial. lots of material but also lots of spontaneous stuff with his audience. He doesn't pick on members of the audience in a personal way like let's say Jimmy Carr, but just chats nicely. It all feels very comfortable.

I won't ry and report hs stories. Just get the DVD, which was being filmed that night. You won't regret it. He deserves every penny he gets from it. Maybe just one example of his humour. He chatted to a young chap in the audience, and asked if he could talk to him as representative of all young men. "Could you youngsters just for five minutes   pause...stop taking photos of your dick?"

He is also a comic who, while he does use a little bad language, you could take pretty well take anyone along to - from your granddad to your teenage daughter. My two companions were as enthusiastic as me. Just a really nice evening. And the following night I would be back at Hammersmith Apollo for Paul Chowdrhy. Comedy weekend.
