Dara O Briain
Wednesday 12 March
8pm
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
£19
Tickets: 0141 353 8000
A brand new live show from one of the most charismatic, fast-talking
and downright busy performers working today.
Dara O Briain’s rise from cult comedy circuit hero
to hugely popular household name, capable of selling-out 75-venue
nation-wide tours, has been meteoric.
Beginning his career in kids TV, his affable charm now endears him to
millions of adult viewers. Getting his big UK break as host of BBC’s
The Live Floor Show, Dara rapidly became the chairman of choice,
taking the reins on BBC2’s Mock The Week and RTE’s The Panel,
making him one of the few performers to host successful comedy shows
simultaneously in the UK and Ireland. Taking it in his stride, Dara also
achieved the not inconsiderable task of making the role of Have I Got
News For You MC his own, with four show-stopping appearances as
guest host.
Recently, he went down river with Griff Rhys Jones
and
Rory McGrath
in BBC1’s hilarious recreation of legendary comic novel
Three Men In A Boat
and its follow-up Three Men In
Another Boat and conducted candid interviews with
comedy icons
Barrie Humphries
and Terry
Jones in BBC2’s
Turn Back Time
Despite the big man’s small screen omnipotence, he’s still found time
to visit the festival with an all-new night of sharp, unadulterated
stand-up.
