Following 2006's sell out national tour and best selling DVD Dara O Briain ‘Live at the Theatre Royal', award winning stand up comedian Dara O Briain hits the road again and heads to Plymouth Pavilions on Saturday 10 May 2008 with a brand new show.
This tour will give UK audiences the chance to catch one the most charismatic, fast talking and down right funny live performers working today.
Dara O Briain, host of BBC2's ‘Mock The Week' and star of ‘Three Men and a Boat', is the biggest Irish comic to have hit the UK in recent years. Already a huge star in Ireland where he produces and presents the hit TV live comedy review show ‘The Panel', Dara has now moved from being a sold-out festival favourite in Edinburgh to selling out theatres across the UK and mainstream television success.
At the start of 2003 Dara was chosen by the BBC to front their Saturday night comedy showcase, ‘The Live Floor Show', which directly led to a series of acclaimed appearances as guest-host of the legendary ‘Have I Got News for You', where both The Guardian and The Sun described him as "the best guest host yet".
The basis for this success is Dara's place at the very top of the stand-up circuit. Winner of the Chortle award for ‘Best Headline Act' in both 2003 and 2004, Dara has performed virtually all over the world, from Dubai to Shanghai, and at all the major festivals from Melbourne to Montreal. He has performed at the world famous Just for Laughs Festival Gala and has appeared in the UK's ultimate showcase for entertainers, The Royal Variety Performance.
Dara has also developed an enormous reputation as host to award ceremonies and corporate events, for evenings as diverse as the European Advertising Awards in the Grosvenor Hotel's Great room, to the Irish Rock and Pop awards held in the Point depot in Dublin, in front of 5,000 people.
“His set is a masterclass in intelligent, no-frills stand-up” The Guardian
“If you don't laugh at O Briain check your pulse you must be dead” The Evening Standard.
