Dara O'Briain

Dara O'Briain


You may know him more as the host from Mock The Week, and a foil for comedy talents such as Frankie Boyle and Russell Howard but as a stand up Dara O Briain is pretty much top of the tree.
 
With his latest tour packing them in across the UK, and the DVD of the tour to follow later in the year, 2010 it was always going to be busy.

Dara O Briain has become one of the most recognised television hosts of the last five years as the anchor of BBC Twos award-winning show Mock the Week, along with regular appearances on Three Men in a Boat (BBC Two) and QI (BBC Two).

Add in to that the announcement recently that Dara is to replace Adrian Chiles as the host of The Apprentice - You're Fired and the man is quite frankly superhuman.

As a stand up, Dara is regarded as one of comedy greats by audiences and fellow comedians alike.

In the meantime, here's a classic clip of Dara's brilliant stand up - in which he describes a favourite story about airport security.
