Dara O'Briain is hilarious

Dara never fails to crack me up, he is an Irish man living in England so his hilarious insights about England and Ireland are funny for everyone! If you want a really good giggle I would recommend this.

Craiking

Would you listen to Dara O'Briain again? Why?

I listen to this again and again and it makes me laugh out loud every time. Great!

Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not quite Craik Dealer but brilliant all the same.

Any additional comments?

Buy - you wont regret it!

Brilliant and clever

I've listened to this recording about 100 times, and I still think it's fabulous. His interactions with the audience are the funiest...such an amazingly quick mind.

funny man at his best

there's a huge amount of fairly timeless material in this early-ish Data O'Briain show. the homeopathy rant is a personal favourite. the star turn effortlessly makes prepared material seem spontaneous, fishes out material to make some lackluster audience participation spark, and charges off into a couple of amazing off the cuff riffs, especially the one about have a go cobblers. it's topped and tailed by his trademark audience participation warm up and the epic final call back, with eye watering set pieces packed in between. I've been in a front row hot seat for a live show from about this time, and this is the full 2 hours and the next best thing. hysterical.

Sidesplittinglyfunny

Dara O'Briain has one of those very 'comfortable' Irish accents that are oh so pleasing to the ear. I listened to this whilst walking my 4 dogs and found myself guffawing out loud (to the surprise of a fellow walker I hadn't seen). If you are feeling down, then this is a real tonic!!

Brilliant

Dara O’Briain is always brilliant. The only possible problem could be that it’s not long enough!

I was listening to this on a train and I had to switch it off because I could't help laughing out loud
