  Recommended
  
  Jun 3-5, Nov 3-6, Hammersmith Apollo
  
  He's dark, he's twisted, he's Scottish, he's no longer on 'Mock the Week' so he can really let his vicious tongue loose. Comedy at its nastiest and funniest. Read more
- Dara O Briain
  
  Critics' Choice
  
  Sat Sep 25, Hammersmith Apollo
  
  Highly talented and hugely entertaining stand-up and star of 'Mock the Week' O Briain could serve as an object lesson to some others in how play an audience with honesty and intelligence. One of the finest comics around. Read more
