Customer Reviews

Dara O Briain has made quite a reputation for himself over the last few years as one of the leading comedians on the circuit today. All this comes to a head in the performance(s) showcased on this DVD, which captures the Irish funnyman at his very best.
The material is fresh and constantly of top class, never relenting in pace or hilarity. The audience participation is great as always (including a young lad in the front row who was persistently trying to film the show, who was brilliantly dealt with!)
I will whole heartedly recommend this to everyone as there really is something for all here. This really is the show!
P.S. One of the DVD extras is a second show (hence plural of performance above) filmed in Dublin, of which 40 minutes of material is shown (that which was not the same as the main feature) and is equally funny!

Christmas 2010 ended up being a pretty poor one for stand up comedy. Some of the heavy hitters came out swinging and missing.
Thankfully, this DVD/performace saved it from being a total disaster!
Dara has a natural talen for fan interaction and tying it all up seamlessly into his pre-written material.
This show is always fun, never offensive and just brilliant from start to end.
It is a real credit to his charm and natural ability that he spends so much time talking to the audience and it never feels like a drag. He takes the mic out of people but he never treads into making them feel uncomfortable, its all like good banter with friends. And I think this is one of his greatest qualities as a comic, he is friendly.
The material its self is sharp and well observed. He spends some time on topics, such as family and kids, that dont always register with me. This doesnt stop it from being hilarious.
Overall, the shining moment in Daras career so far and a stand up dvd that must be added to the collection.
