Lovely review of the new tour in The British Comedy Guide this week. It mentions that the previous tour is a good companion piece; if you want to see that show here’s the link to the special we did of it… https://t.co/mt6EQnElHD UK/Ireland tour dates on https://t.co/YHRHNzVlRS

First time I’ve ever received a head injury mid-way through a show. Luckily I had some Nando’s napkins to mop up the blood. #youhadtobethere
@daraobriain, genuinely one of the funniest standup gigs I've been to tonight in Swansea. My sides hurt from laughing. Hope the effects of the mid-to-severe blood loss aren't too long lasting.

Very sad today to hear of the untimely death of writer and film-maker Manchán Magan. His work with the Irish language was both inspirational and normalising, and he can claim a great amount of credit for the resurgence in the everyday, normal use of the language. He managed to

I wish more of my shows, like Stoke last night, had a cartoonist in the audience illustrating the audience bits. THIS is the way to do the old #youhadtobethere

I would hate people not to see when I click my ruby slippers together and say “There’s no place like home”.
@daraobriain Deeply concerning warning on your Belfast tickets; would hate to miss the heavily-rumoured tap dance section of your set.

I remember being slightly pissed that night, and HUGELY enjoying this chat. Not sure if those two things are related.

So, the plan for @EPfestival then; get a lovely, relaxed mid-afternoon slot, and sure, you won’t be up against anything too high-profile, or noisy, or energetic, that the entire world, including you, is dying to see. The reality:

The Hounslow-Richmond Bicycle Checkpoint (2025)
Hounslow council have banned Lime bikes, and licensed Forest and Voi; neighbouring Richmond has licensed Lime and banned the others. So every bridge is Checkpoint Charlie, with loads of Lime bikes parked on one side and loads of Forest and Voi on the other. Top work everyone!

Go see the volcanoes! Also, the series “Wonders of the Volcanoes” is on SBS this week, my Australian friends!
@daraobriain you inspired us to visit Stromboli when we watched your program about Volcanoes. It didn’t disappoint. Thank you for the recommendation it’s a stunning island!

I’m doing @EPfestival for the first time this year! I am not a… natural festival goer, so please be kind to me, if you see me wandering round.
A lineup so good, it’s not even funny 😌🎭 We’re grinning ear to ear, as we bring you some of the biggest names in Comedy at The Comedy Arena. The countdown is on!
