Thoroughly entertaining, high energy and intelligent stand up. TV psychics, astrology and school nativity plays in secular schools all come in for a gentle hammering and the speed he picks up on material from his interaction with the audience is truly remarkable.
Clearly ‘big of brain’ and wide ranging in his subject matter, it’s refreshing to see him also hit the easy target with relish and take the proverbial out of a certain supermarket that won’t stock his latest DVD because of the title (‘Craic Dealer’). Every Little Helps should assist the corporate bureaucrat by buying him/her a dictionary and a spell checker. Dara genuinely seems to enjoy himself on stage (despite the last vestiges of a cold) and if ‘the craic’ means having a bloody good night out then I guess this tour’s title is spot on.
