Dara O BriainFor nine days this September the bevoweled Irish comedian Dara O Briain will perform at the Hammersmith Apollo as part of his UK tour. The lofty Irishman is huge right now - both in stature (he measures 6'4" and has the girth to match) and in celebrity (is there anything he's not on at the moment?) - but this tour strips O Briain of all his baggage and lets him loose at doing what he's best at: making people laugh. The best thing is for you to forget the tired panel show (Mock The Week), the book (Tickling the English), the DVD (Dara O Briain Talks Funny), the newspaper sports column (The Guardian on Saturday) and the documentaries (the Three Men in a? franchise) - forget all that chaff and go in with an open mind. "His set is a masterclass in intelligent stand-up," says The Guardian. "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." And if anyone knows about too much stuff, it's O Briain with his multi-pie-dipping fingers and accompanying verbal diarrhoea.
 

About Hammersmith Apollo

Once London's largest all-seater venue, the Hammersmith Apollo has a 3,600 capacity for seated shows and a 5,000 capacity for standing-room-only gigs. It was renovated in 2002, and now works well as a venue for theatre (hosting a huge variety of shows from Riverdance to Thomas the Tank Engine) as well as rock concerts.
