Dara O Briain - This Is the Show

The very best of comedy, covering topics everyone can relate to as well as digging into niches like videogames that other comedians can be afraid to try. Neither populist nor pretentious he casually and simply discusses some pretty clever ideas and has fun with them.

O'Briain is likable and unpretentious, if also harmless and mostly just amusing, rather than laugh-out-loud funny. Worth a watch.

Dara O'Briain manages to balance between harmless, likeable and amusing. All in the guise of a man pretending to be slightly wronged by the world. Contrast to Ricky Gervais who just comes off as a dick trying most of the same things.

Extremely well-structured stand-up set - Dara is a master of callbacks.
