Dara O Briain – Crowd Tickler

A consummate comedy professional, Mr O Briain performs comic acrobatics with a deft touch and a strong hand. Performing a comedy loop-the-loop with his box-set serial killer template demonstrating the generic nature of the genre, and easy banter with the front row that never had a laugh far away, there’s a full commitment to entertaining that is a joy to engage with. Making it all seem so easy, O Briain is playful, thoughtful, silly and fun, with no lull in the energy or waver in the commitment to material. A comedy banker of an evening out.
