Product Description

Dara O Briain - This Is the Show was recorded in front of a sell-out crowd on the final date of his record-breaking nine nights at the world famous Hammersmith Apollo.

Dara is on top form as he effortlessly mixes off the cuff audience interaction with razor sharp material and a star studded finale that almost puts Hollywood to shame.

"O Briain is loud and large and fast and feisty...............but the way he tells 'em is a joy" - The Times

"O Briain has a laser eye for the absurd and the spurious amid the too-much-stuff with which we shore up our hapless lives" - The Guardian

"Breakneck genius...... the entire audience was hanging on every sentence. And every sentence ended in a laugh. It was stuffed with dazzling observations, vivid vignettes and glorious gags." Evening Standard

Extras:
  • Andy, Ed and Dara's In-Vision Commentary and drinking game
  • Live in Dublin 2010
  • The Apollo organist entertains
  • The show as it was meant to be seen

This is the Show contains over an hour of extras including a recording of the show at Vicar Street in Dublin, Andy Parsons, Ed Byrne and Dara's commentary and drinking game, a blast from the Apollo organ and specially shot, covert footage from a mobile phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This IS the show. 28 Nov 2010
Format:DVD
Dara O Briain has made quite a reputation for himself over the last few years as one of the leading comedians on the circuit today. All this comes to a head in the performance(s) showcased on this DVD, which captures the Irish funnyman at his very best.

The material is fresh and constantly of top class, never relenting in pace or hilarity. The audience participation is great as always (including a young lad in the front row who was persistently trying to film the show, who was brilliantly dealt with!)

I will whole heartedly recommend this to everyone as there really is something for all here. This really is the show!

P.S. One of the DVD extras is a second show (hence plural of performance above) filmed in Dublin, of which 40 minutes of material is shown (that which was not the same as the main feature) and is equally funny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome 4 Nov 2010
Format:DVD
I saw the show a couple of times with different people and we all loved it. It's the best stand-up I've seen in years (and I've seen a lot of stand-up). His timing is spot on, the delivery is exhausting and the whole show is a great mix of surreal and real-life stuff. The way he teases the audience and weaves stuff around what they do for a living is spectacular. You'll never view mouthwash in the same way again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The stand out stand up of 2010 30 Jan 2011
Format:DVD
Christmas 2010 ended up being a pretty poor one for stand up comedy. Some of the heavy hitters came out swinging and missing.

Thankfully, this DVD/performace saved it from being a total disaster!

Dara has a natural talen for fan interaction and tying it all up seamlessly into his pre-written material.
This show is always fun, never offensive and just brilliant from start to end.
It is a real credit to his charm and natural ability that he spends so much time talking to the audience and it never feels like a drag. He takes the mic out of people but he never treads into making them feel uncomfortable, its all like good banter with friends. And I think this is one of his greatest qualities as a comic, he is friendly.

The material its self is sharp and well observed. He spends some time on topics, such as family and kids, that dont always register with me. This doesnt stop it from being hilarious.

Overall, the shining moment in Daras career so far and a stand up dvd that must be added to the collection.
