Cardiff was joy! Tonight and tomorrow in Bristol Hippodrome, always a favourite venue; and then Inverness, Dundee and Aberdeen. Big week!

A welcome distraction from the woes of the world, Dara Ó Briain took us on a journey through the recent highs and lows of his own personal tragi-comedy life story.
An excellent way to spend a Sunday evening.

Ah, delighted you enjoyed it! Yes, the twist is fun, but was also delighted with how interactive the Woking crowd were.

I don’t know about you, but I’m still sort of processing that the US president stood up in the UN and declared that London is about to be under Sharia law, and the response has been “actually, that won’t happen” rather than “Jesus, that is insane.”

I already know “Du kommar aldri uit herfra”. Why would I need anything else?

Language learners! Currently combining Duolingo, Ella Verbs and Language Transfer to learn some Spanish. What might you recommend for spoken/writing practice?
Good sources for teachers, whether zoom or IRL?
And/or an app to will suggest topics and correct efforts?

Can't believe it's been almost 20 years since Three men in a boat with @daraobriain.bsky.social , Griff Rhys Jones and Rory McGrath came out. Wow time flies!

So, Hounslow council have banned Lime bikes, and licensed Forest and Voi; neighbouring Richmond has licensed Lime and banned the others. So every bridge over the Thames is now Checkpoint Charlie, with loads of Lime bikes parked on one side and loads of Forest and Voi on the other. Top work everyone!

Can’t believe I missed it! And for what? Family. Jesus.

Exciting to see Niet’s new works!

Dara O Briain @daraobriain.bsky.social · Jul 13

Honestly, would adore that. No plans at the moment though.

Dara O Briain @daraobriain.bsky.social · Jul 13

Huge thanks to Vicar st for three more brilliant nights, despite the heat! And thanks to everyone who donated to the @simoncommunity.bsky.social last night! Back in the UK from September, back in Galway and Dublin in January. All dates on daraobriain.com #recreationtour

Good luck on the journey. It has been a massively, enriching experience for me, I hope it is for you.

Came off-stage in Dublin into a city that is 10 drinks ahead of me. It’s clearly been quite the day here.

The theme music is burned into my brain.

Dara O Briain @daraobriain.bsky.social · Jul 11

Ah, Dublin, you gorgeous beast. Doing the last pre-summer gigs of the tour here this weekend, and then back for the UK in Autumn and Dublin again in January. And then Europe and the world yadda yadda. Look, just let me enjoy the nice weather and the city looking great.

Also, what were the chances the Portuguese embassy was in Mallow? A strong choice for the lads from Lisbon.

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
