Talks far too quickly, mumbles, and yet, still doing it. Touring New show Nov 2021, into 2022/23! Latest science book for kids "Is there Anybody Out There?"
Lovely review of the new tour in The British Comedy Guide this week. It mentions that the previous tour is a good companion piece; if you want to see that show here’s the link to the special we did of it… youtu.be/ELVehvpeMi4?si… UK/Ireland tour dates on daraobriain.com



After a VERY passionate debate on this, I am now doubling down and demanding it be “Cuilín” or “Ar Foraíol”; both of which terms I love and should be in common usage. I feel this is the compromise solution we can all get behind and that’s the end of the matter.
The Hill I would Die On: it should be “Sea/Ní Shea” on Hawkeye in Croke Park, not “Tá/Níl”.
That is one of the most insane Hurling finals I have ever seen. What was the half-time chat in the Cork dressing room?

Huge thanks to Vicar st for three more brilliant nights, despite the heat! And thanks to everyone who donated to the @SimonCommunity last night! Back in the UK from September, back in Galway and Dublin in January. All dates on daraobriain.com #recreationtour
Nice tweet about last night’s show, if you’re wondering about coming along in January!
Just saw Re:Creation, the new show by @daraobriain in @Vicar_Street and it's as hilarious as anything he's done previously. If you got to see his previous show, So... Where Were We?, about his adoption journey, you really have to see this new show to see how his story ends. 😆
Yay! Three more dates in Vicar St, and NOT on the hottest weekend of the year (unless things get pretty wild next January).

Last three shows in Dublin this week! Three gorgeous shows last week including: Deserts brought direct to your table; Dara’s gaydar strikes again; you dropped that Toronto accent fast; and the old saying “Two assholes can make a nice child”. #youhadtobethere

That’s how you win a match. Although that clearance off the line a couple of minutes later was pretty special too.
Oisin O'Donoghue, that is absolutely filthy
This will be a brilliant night, and for a great cause!

Huge thanks to all who came out to the Marquee in Cork last night. As ever, one of the great nights of the tour. Here I am, in characteristic Christ-like pose.

Thank you lovely Norwich people. Two great nights, including: Rubbing British Sugar on your gums to check how pure it is; a conversation about airplane flaps that never went rude; how to rob an M+S; the point of teaching Drama is getting free tickets. #youhadtobethere
European tour now on sale! Some cities still to be added, but delighted to do my first show in Barcelona, amongst others! #recreationtour
