I once covered from Dublin as a Journalist the 'Liverpool Comedy Festival' in the early 1990s where Dara performed... (Artists often don't particularly take to journalists...) He was the most wonderfully friendly guy, indeed, upon finding I had no proper friends in Liverpool, he invited me to dinners, lunches and 'get togethers' with other artists and people involved in the festival. He introduced me to loads of other people. EVERY TIME over the weekend when I'd bump into him, he'd ask if I was okay, had all I needed and he was SUPREMELY friendly and utterly lovely and polite. (THIS was before he EVER appeared on Mainstream British TV...) ABSOLUTELY GENUINE BLOKE... xx SF
That is such a happifying thing to know. That he looked out for you when you probably felt like a fish out of water. Diamond chap - and perhaps he speaks similarly of you, you never know!
A lot of Irish people are like that! We live on a small Island. So, when we get the chance to meet other people abroad. We like to act as good representatives for our country.
Absolutely not in my experience... (And I've met him several times since, even after he became a TV Personality on British Television...) Very often, comedians are rather shy and self-effacing when not actually 'on-stage... (Not all of them, but most...) DARA O BRIAIN is a regular bloke.... Can't fault him. xx SF
Dara's stand-up carries a colossal amount of spoken word script; added to dance routines, audience participation. He verbally interacts with their line of work, pulling that apart for authenticity sake. Which he remembers & comes back to later. Flipping from one story to another, then back again not forgetting where he's left off. His performance is truly mind blowing. This isn't wordy hype for seeing is believing.
WTF... This is mind-blowing. Two thirds longer than other comedy specials, filled with material for two an a half. And that improvisation... That's what you call a sharp wit. Bravo.
It was pretty impressive he remembered all the audience members' stories from the beginning to the end there, keeping track of that for that long while delivering a show(with many improv bits) is pretty damn good! I wanna see this guy live, he's hilarious and I really love his attitude
Ztygs Thats his whole craft, see that he's bald, it means he had time to develop it. I'm 25, have been doing stand up comedy for 1 and a half years now and I can memorize 30 minutes of material, maybe more, 35, he has been doing it for at least 20 years. Think about it.
+Ztygs We've been lucky enough to see him perform a big show twice, amazing every time! He always does the front row chats and remembers everyones name and what they do, incredible. Best gigs been to, done countless comedy shows over the years, only one better was Reg D...best ever show by far.
+gixer turbo - Ohhhh I am absolutely GREEN with envy right now!! You've seen Dara AND Reg??? And Dara twice?!? There are my top 2 favorites right there. Now if you tell me you've also seen Romesh Ranganathan live as well, I think I might just DIE of jealousy!
Went to see him in Dublin, thinking he's ok I think could do his standup 😅. By the end I reliased most top comedians couldn't do his gig. Unbelievablly quick and hilariously funny. One of the greatest 🙌
One of the best shows and comedy I've ever seen! His finess, points he makes and the performance sewed together is incredible! The interaction with the audience is outstanding as well, pure genious from Dara, he gives so much and is a lovable man and so generous.
One of the best stand-ups I saw... routines mixed with improvisation like if it's natural :D And he's so fast, I swear after 30 minutes I thought I'm somewhere near the end of the show already :D great guy, great comedian
Hilarious!!😂🩷😁 I wouldn't want to be writing the Closed Captions for Dara's shows!!😎👍👍 I Lmao all the way through this!! 🤣🤣 Thank you Dara, for being a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Genius Comedian!!😅
It's kind of ironic watching a pirated version of this show and seeing the extended bit about the young boy trying to pirate it by recording it on his phone.
Love this guys material! Quick on the draw with the audience members as well. Also, it's 6 years since this ran. I just got off a plane 2 weeks ago and one of the in flight movies was I Am Legend. No joke.
@@joshuatree747 Wellll, that was comprehensible? ....One of the classic three Hear no Evil / See No Evil / Speak no Evil monkeys and metal music appreciation symbology? Plz help explain to this over 30 if this is meaningful, or you were just high that night?
You know, it's probably not the most important part of the show, but Dara has a nice hip sway move when he's dancing. And he's terrifically funny of course.
Thankyou for sharing your talent to this shut in!! What l love ❤ is how you can make a whole spontaneous fun sequence out of any topic that is presented to you ! The work that must go into your topics,( loved how you did the speedy alteration and enunciation in the "she sell seashells" of the audience members job!😊😅) Also that you are one of the few who doesn't need to rely on expletives all the time!Kept me binge watching for several hours - will watch more tomorrow😂❤ Best wishes, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😀 👍
Oh Dara, Dara - well done for giving a couple of 14 year old lads one of The Best Nights of their lives. Ahh you're a sweet man x (and as mad as a box of frogs)
In the bit, when he was talking to those 14 years old boys he touched upon a thing, that sort of... bugs me. I really like him, i find his stand up funny as hell, but he suffers from the same thing, any other stand up comedian suffers. From Bill Burr(he is my favourite, and he suffers from the "thing" the least) Robin Williams, through Louisc C. K. All the way to people like Joe Rogan. Namely- they open their mouth on subject they have no fucking idea about. Never researched them, maybe read some shit in the internet, or had some encounter with the subject of the joke, but they have never actually made an effort to try and understand whole thing, and why it is as it is I get that these all are just jokes, that there is comedic exaggeration, and you could say, it gets on my tits, because i have different opinion, and it touches me personally. Maybe. But judging from audeince reaction on jokes like that, i get that people generally find that they have same perspective as comedian, and instead of just laughing they whistle and cheer. That means many, many people are fucking morons, and they are allowed to live, vote and breed. That really pisses me off Sorry
He always makes me laugh, regardless my present situation or emotions. He's brilliant and talented and I swear I heard Ed Byrne's voice as the friend speaking on the tear/cut...
Absolutely love the fact that the better, high quality version of what that kid was recording is now FREE on youtube Kid probably didn't even know himself why he bothered trying lol
I just realised how the three porridges have different temp. Different types of bowls. One is less deep and more wider. The one that's wider will cool faster.
Because a tear heals better than a cut.... Dr. Bear is now the highest paid medical profession, which is helpful to pay for porridge consumption and little blonde home invaders.
I pretty much maxed out Battlefield 4 on the PS4 so I tried it on my friends PC. Dara perfectly explained how I played on PC. The gameplay was impressive but I was utter shite...
52:30 so genius how he builds that moment, and the two boys in the front with their look of confused anticipation have no idea what's about to happen. Imagine the parents. They never thought they's come home from a night of comedy having to explain to their sweet innocent babes the difference between a tear and a cut, and why that triggered such a reaction from the women in the audience.
1:23:30 Most likely, 30% of the people were "Jump, Crouch, Touch? What he's talking about?" And the rest 70% of the people were "Jump? Crowbar?" "What he's talking about?" "Snake can't jump and there's no crowbars in the entire franchise!"
That feel when you have a kindred spirit in Dara O-Briain if he also plays games being released recently... guy is probably fockin' pissed about Fallout 76, Battlefront, and Halo 5.

You’d think he just figured out how to do it minutes before going onstage,
Those people in the audience are plants 🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@albagubrath9073 No, he spoke to me once, & I sure as feck wasn't getting paid. He mentioned my story at the end.
All I can say is good luck have fun, fatherhood knows no bounds
he is a master at crowd-work
This man spent the entire show wearing those sleeves under his jacket just for the final joke... how much respect I feel for that? (quite a lot)
That there is dedication

WTF... This is mind-blowing. Two thirds longer than other comedy specials, filled with material for two an a half. And that improvisation... That's what you call a sharp wit. Bravo.
Dara O'Briain has to slow down on QI so that Stephen Fry (voted Britain's smartest man) and his ear-piece elves can just keep up.
It was pretty impressive he remembered all the audience members' stories from the beginning to the end there, keeping track of that for that long while delivering a show(with many improv bits) is pretty damn good! I wanna see this guy live, he's hilarious and I really love his attitude
+Ztygs He was cooking the stories while he was doing his material, pretty smart, he's great. One hour and forty minutes, thats amazing.

6:40 that gentle dismantling of the heckler was perfection.
Plus he got back to him at the end!
Filthy nonce
Def like to think that the mate who made the “bear” joke is Ed Byrne, from Dara’s spot-on impression, that “Doctor Bear” bit kills me every time
That was my thought.
Yep, that delivery 110% sounds like Ed.
You read my mind. I can just imagine after seeing them comment about one of his shows.
One of the best stand-ups I saw... routines mixed with improvisation like if it's natural :D And he's so fast, I swear after 30 minutes I thought I'm somewhere near the end of the show already :D great guy, great comedian
I love how he makes fun of his audience without being mean
The part about falling off while cycling is brilliant 😂😂😂 it amazes me how much and how fast he talks and thinks!

That's my favourite British comedian (present day)
Great contact with audience.
Hugs from Poland!👍
He's about as British as you are German.
He’s Irish ☘️ 😊
Irish stupid
The only clean comady I have heard in a very long time.... Amazing show

You know what he's right. I like ABBA, and I'm not ashamed.
it's been a year, has the shame sunk in yet?
I like ABBA too
ABBA is the shit ! I feel no guilt and no shame.
I always thought ABBA is a classic by now. Does that make me young? :D
Love this guys material! Quick on the draw with the audience members as well.
Also, it's 6 years since this ran. I just got off a plane 2 weeks ago and one of the in flight movies was I Am Legend. No joke.

Dara is so hilarious, he's a laugh every second, keep on making great stand up...
I’ve seen all his shows, this is his best in my opinion
can his shows be found online sir?
This man is a genuine genius! Brilliant!
Best ending to a show ever...
"The light from the sun, it's gone off!"
Pretty sure that's the plot of Sunshine!
If Dara ever had a sip of Red Bull he would explode into super-charged confetti
The dartrino would mutate.
I'd pay to see that! Haha

the way dara reiterates 'you gave blood' is hilarious

12 years ago. The tour was in 2010. Funniest show I've ever been too.

Brilliant comic, especially love the video game routine being a gamer, so true lmao !!
He is so brilliant.
Pissed myself during the 2012 movies. I enjoyed that movie. Now that is forever lost to me :)
I'm oddly impressed by the retractable organ built into the stage. What a cool way to start your comedy special.
That man has a seriously big brain. He's so 'speedy' I'm tempted to say BiPolar, except that he NEVER EVER loses his thread or timing. Just brilliant.
Fantastic. And now I need to watch '2012' again...it'll never be the same...
Delightful show . Love it
What a genius and never fails to make me laugh ❤😂
Doctor Bear. This guy is brilliant. Just found him.
Saw him live a few months ago and he's just as funny live 😂
I could listen to Dara saying fuck all day...
ChaoticFilmzHD and "idiot"
“Ya foock.”
'feck off ya eejot!' 😂😂
One of the most fascinating shows Ive ever seen! N
Best ending ever!
I’m glad I have ADHD, Dara is so fast to me it’s regular speed😂👍🏻
@Ang543210 great minds think alike and at the same speed😉😂
They used "Another one bites the dust" when they trained me.

Same here 😂😂 but they changed it to staying alive 😂

The fact that literally everything he says sounds like it was rehearsed hundreds of times is astonishing.
This was the last show of a 120 show tour. The word is 'polished'.
1:22:45
Mr. O'Briain, Snake does NOT jump ! He somersaults, sir !
Hilarious routine !
I was unknowingly watching at 1.25 speed and though, holy hell, he's a fast talker!
I watched it at normal speed and thought the same.
Brilliant show!
One time, I completely forgot that 2012 was a movie. I kept thinking of the Twenty Twelve sitcom.

Most likely, 30% of the people were "Jump, Crouch, Touch? What he's talking about?"
