Dara Ó Briain: This Is the Show
Directed by Paul Wheeler
Produced by Open Mike Productions
A high-energy stand-up comedy special built on sharp observational humor, audience interaction, and infectious warmth.
Dara O Briain - This Is the Show was recorded in front of a sell-out crowd on the final date of his record-breaking nine nights at the world famous Hammersmith Apollo. Dara is on top form as he effortlessly mixes off the cuff audience interaction with razor sharp material and a star studded finale that almost puts Hollywood to shame. "O Briain is loud and large and fast and feisty...............but the way he tells 'em is a joy" - The Times "O Briain has a laser eye for the absurd and the spurious amid the too-much-stuff with which we shore up our hapless lives" - The Guardian "Breakneck genius...... the entire audience was hanging on every sentence. And every sentence ended in a laugh. It was stuffed with dazzling observations, vivid vignettes and glorious gags." Evening Standard
