Dara o’ Briain announced on twitter he was doing some
last-minute work-in-progress shows in Edinburgh – I nabbed myself a ticket on
the same day and I think they had sold out within two.
It’s not often one gets to see a top class comedian for only
£12 or so. Cramped into one of the medium sized Pleasance Courtyard rooms, Dara
comes on, casually dressed with loose comic material to work with, but the
thing with Dara is that he’s so damn good at audience riffing, and at going
with the flow, his mind works at 100 miles an hour, and he comes up with the
jokes at lightening pace when he needs to, the pre-worked material is solid
gold and the half-hashed material is a gold vein waiting to be mined.
He had a particularly funny joke about the BFG (I shan’t
spoil the surprise).
He's touring his show Voice of Reason throughout 2018.
Score: Officially no score
Venue: Pleasance Courtyard
