IRISH comedian Dara Ó Briain is heading to Warrington as part of his first tour since the world turned upside down during the pandemic.
At the end of his last tour, the stand-up comic, presenter and panel show host had performed the show, Voice of Reason, 180 times, over two years and across 20 countries, from Auckland to Reykjavik and from Moscow to New York…and by March 2020 said he was ready for a break.
He would now like to apologise for saying that and will never wish for anything like that again.
Yes, Dara’s back on tour, including a date at Parr Hall on March 2 and he will never stop again. In his new show, “So, Where Were We?” Dara will hardly mention the last couple of years because who wants to be reminded of that?
Instead, Dara will fire out the usual mix of stories, one-liners and audience teasing while trying not to trip over his words by talking too quickly because he’s so giddy to be back in front of a crowd.
Dara needs little introduction after being a mainstay on our screens for almost 20 years.
These days, he is probably best known for the comedy panel game Mock the Week which he has hosted for an incredible 18 series. Other highlights have included hosting The Apprentice: You’re Fired for three years and heading up BBC Two’s reboot of Robot Wars.
The self-confessed geek also regularly hosts the BAFTA Games Awards and co-hosted Stargazing Live alongside Professor Brian Cox.
