Dara Ó Briain Returns | Part One

After 10 years, Dara Ó Briain returns to the show in this 450th episode two part special. If you need an intro, he’s best known in the UK for hosting Mock the Week and Stargazing Live as well as a legendary run on Taskmaster! His latest show “So… Where Were We?”, deals with missing body parts, a TV show he'll never do and an astonishing family revelation. The show was winner of Best Tour at the 2023 Chortle Awards and has been performed across the world. We discuss Dara’s extensive notes that he brought along, how to build and release tension through a confessional stand-up show and the burden of touring with a screen.
