review 1: Love Dara O'Brian, this is following him on a touring season and is a mixture of his own reviews of each location and his thoughts on the subtle culture differences in particular the English v Irish outlook. Its meant to be funny, he can get away with it because he is an Irishman in England but above all it is not to be taken seriously. If you dont like his style of comedy dont read it because its hilariously him!
review 2: One of my favourite comics. Irishman Dara describes his comedy tour of the UK with witty observations of the various locales. He also gives us a clear insight into the life of a successful stand up comic. Dara attempts to answer the question "What makes the English so English?" His insights into the national character are both funny and wis... moree. Some amusing and interesting comparisons are made between St George's Day and St Patrick's Day, the former can in no way compete with the latter: "For a start it isn't even a national holiday. Even if you wanted people to celebrate it, they have to go to work." less
