I once covered from Dublin as a Journalist the 'Liverpool Comedy Festival' in the early 1990s where Dara performed... (Artists often don't particularly take to journalists...) He was the most wonderfully friendly guy, indeed, upon finding I had no proper friends in Liverpool, he invited me to dinners, lunches and 'get togethers' with other artists and people involved in the festival. He introduced me to loads of other people. EVERY TIME over the weekend when I'd bump into him, he'd ask if I was okay, had all I needed and he was SUPREMELY friendly and utterly lovely and polite. (THIS was before he EVER appeared on Mainstream British TV...) ABSOLUTELY GENUINE BLOKE... xx SF
That is such a happifying thing to know. That he looked out for you when you probably felt like a fish out of water. Diamond chap - and perhaps he speaks similarly of you, you never know!
A lot of Irish people are like that! We live on a small Island. So, when we get the chance to meet other people abroad. We like to act as good representatives for our country.
Absolutely not in my experience... (And I've met him several times since, even after he became a TV Personality on British Television...) Very often, comedians are rather shy and self-effacing when not actually 'on-stage... (Not all of them, but most...) DARA O BRIAIN is a regular bloke.... Can't fault him. xx SF
Dara's stand-up carries a colossal amount of spoken word script; added to dance routines, audience participation. He verbally interacts with their line of work, pulling that apart for authenticity sake. Which he remembers & comes back to later. Flipping from one story to another, then back again not forgetting where he's left off. His performance is truly mind blowing. This isn't wordy hype for seeing is believing.
Went to see him in Dublin, thinking he's ok I think could do his standup 😅. By the end I reliased most top comedians couldn't do his gig. Unbelievablly quick and hilariously funny. One of the greatest 🙌
Thankyou for sharing your talent to this shut in!! What l love ❤ is how you can make a whole spontaneous fun sequence out of any topic that is presented to you ! The work that must go into your topics,( loved how you did the speedy alteration and enunciation in the "she sell seashells" of the audience members job!😊😅) Also that you are one of the few who doesn't need to rely on expletives all the time!Kept me binge watching for several hours - will watch more tomorrow😂❤ Best wishes, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😀 👍
One of the best stand-ups I saw... routines mixed with improvisation like if it's natural :D And he's so fast, I swear after 30 minutes I thought I'm somewhere near the end of the show already :D great guy, great comedian
It was pretty impressive he remembered all the audience members' stories from the beginning to the end there, keeping track of that for that long while delivering a show(with many improv bits) is pretty damn good! I wanna see this guy live, he's hilarious and I really love his attitude
Ztygs Thats his whole craft, see that he's bald, it means he had time to develop it. I'm 25, have been doing stand up comedy for 1 and a half years now and I can memorize 30 minutes of material, maybe more, 35, he has been doing it for at least 20 years. Think about it.
+Ztygs We've been lucky enough to see him perform a big show twice, amazing every time! He always does the front row chats and remembers everyones name and what they do, incredible. Best gigs been to, done countless comedy shows over the years, only one better was Reg D...best ever show by far.
+gixer turbo - Ohhhh I am absolutely GREEN with envy right now!! You've seen Dara AND Reg??? And Dara twice?!? There are my top 2 favorites right there. Now if you tell me you've also seen Romesh Ranganathan live as well, I think I might just DIE of jealousy!
WTF... This is mind-blowing. Two thirds longer than other comedy specials, filled with material for two an a half. And that improvisation... That's what you call a sharp wit. Bravo.
It's kind of ironic watching a pirated version of this show and seeing the extended bit about the young boy trying to pirate it by recording it on his phone.
Hilarious!!😂🩷😁 I wouldn't want to be writing the Closed Captions for Dara's shows!!😎👍👍 I Lmao all the way through this!! 🤣🤣 Thank you Dara, for being a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Genius Comedian!!😅
Love this guys material! Quick on the draw with the audience members as well. Also, it's 6 years since this ran. I just got off a plane 2 weeks ago and one of the in flight movies was I Am Legend. No joke.
Because a tear heals better than a cut.... Dr. Bear is now the highest paid medical profession, which is helpful to pay for porridge consumption and little blonde home invaders.
You know, it's probably not the most important part of the show, but Dara has a nice hip sway move when he's dancing. And he's terrifically funny of course.
Oh Dara, Dara - well done for giving a couple of 14 year old lads one of The Best Nights of their lives. Ahh you're a sweet man x (and as mad as a box of frogs)
In the bit, when he was talking to those 14 years old boys he touched upon a thing, that sort of... bugs me. I really like him, i find his stand up funny as hell, but he suffers from the same thing, any other stand up comedian suffers. From Bill Burr(he is my favourite, and he suffers from the "thing" the least) Robin Williams, through Louisc C. K. All the way to people like Joe Rogan. Namely- they open their mouth on subject they have no fucking idea about. Never researched them, maybe read some shit in the internet, or had some encounter with the subject of the joke, but they have never actually made an effort to try and understand whole thing, and why it is as it is I get that these all are just jokes, that there is comedic exaggeration, and you could say, it gets on my tits, because i have different opinion, and it touches me personally. Maybe. But judging from audeince reaction on jokes like that, i get that people generally find that they have same perspective as comedian, and instead of just laughing they whistle and cheer. That means many, many people are fucking morons, and they are allowed to live, vote and breed. That really pisses me off Sorry
He always makes me laugh, regardless my present situation or emotions. He's brilliant and talented and I swear I heard Ed Byrne's voice as the friend speaking on the tear/cut...
@@joshuatree747 Wellll, that was comprehensible? ....One of the classic three Hear no Evil / See No Evil / Speak no Evil monkeys and metal music appreciation symbology? Plz help explain to this over 30 if this is meaningful, or you were just high that night?
52:30 so genius how he builds that moment, and the two boys in the front with their look of confused anticipation have no idea what's about to happen. Imagine the parents. They never thought they's come home from a night of comedy having to explain to their sweet innocent babes the difference between a tear and a cut, and why that triggered such a reaction from the women in the audience.
I just realised how the three porridges have different temp. Different types of bowls. One is less deep and more wider. The one that's wider will cool faster.
I pretty much maxed out Battlefield 4 on the PS4 so I tried it on my friends PC. Dara perfectly explained how I played on PC. The gameplay was impressive but I was utter shite...
Absolutely love the fact that the better, high quality version of what that kid was recording is now FREE on youtube Kid probably didn't even know himself why he bothered trying lol
That feel when you have a kindred spirit in Dara O-Briain if he also plays games being released recently... guy is probably fockin' pissed about Fallout 76, Battlefront, and Halo 5.

Or stabbed. Who knows what else he shared.
No he isn't. I'd be hiding in the back seat from my dad if that was my dad😂 But we now see who that dad is. Ugh. 😂😂
I love how he took apart the heckler at the start!
This guy is the best ever comedian. He is just genuinely hilarious and never ending energy.
Def like to think that the mate who made the “bear” joke is Ed Byrne, from Dara’s spot-on impression, that “Doctor Bear” bit kills me every time
That was my thought.
Yep, that delivery 110% sounds like Ed.
You read my mind. I can just imagine after seeing them comment about one of his shows.

"Oh no, the rhythm is gonna get me!"
Couldn't stop LOLing.
I love how he makes fun of his audience without being mean
The part about falling off while cycling is brilliant 😂😂😂 it amazes me how much and how fast he talks and thinks!
6:40 that gentle dismantling of the heckler was perfection.
