A #youhadtobethere from Vicar st last night…
@daraobriain.bsky.social Exceptional show tonight. Have always wanted to see you at Vicar Street. Well worth the trek from Devon.

This is why I missed your show in Exeter by the way: www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti...

Great rail fact too - thanks. Will try to include in the piece about SailRail!
The Mexican coast-to-coast train that costs just £25 – and is run by marines
Linking cities on Mexico’s Gulf and Pacific coasts, this spectacular route offers an immersive taste of the country’s historic midriff

I'm sure this is kind of a youhadtobethere but Kris Lindahl is a local real estate agent and these billboards are EVERYWHERE

Had two lovely new material shows tonight, which featured almost no new material, but just tons of messing around with the crowd. Jean-Michel Jarre!; being paid for insights in Coke; Horses are “Transport”; Put bubble wrap round the computers, the builders are getting injured! #youhadtobethere

Thank you lovely Norwich people. Two great nights, including: Rubbing British Sugar on your gums to check how pure it is; a conversation about airplane flaps that never went rude; how to rob an M+S; the point of teaching Drama is getting free tickets. #youhadtobethere

Okay, first weekend of the tour done, and it was a delight! For all Ireland and Uk dates go to Daraobriain.com
And the fruit was thrown by Sean who works in a Juicing factory in Donegal just to bring Brazilian Orange Juice to Daniel O’Donnell every day. Of course. #youhadtobethere #re:creation

Shout out to everyone who came to the Dublin shows this weekend. Fake priests, The search for the coast of Kilkenny, the missing Portugal joke, and an evil Revenue Commissioner. So much fun.
You all survive the next couple of days and I’ll be back on Wednesday! #youhadtobethere #recreationtour

Last three shows in Dublin this week! Three gorgeous shows last week including: Deserts brought direct to your table; Dara’s gaydar strikes again; you dropped that Toronto accent fast; and the old saying “Two assholes can make a nice child”. #youhadtobethere

Thank you Cork for 4 lovely shows! Including: Wir sind “Irisches Wasser”, totally unrelated to Irish Water; we don’t know what the Machine is, but it delivers Chocolate fingers; and best of all, It’s Bernie on the Mic! #youhadtobethere
Looking forward to the Marquee next June!

Thanks Chester Storyhouse, the two best shows of the UK tour so far! Including: Cheshire Oats, for the best Porridge; who goes to a show with their girlfriend’s friend’s mother?; the alcohol goes into the Filling Hole; and you can lose fingers on the bowing hand. #youhadtobethere

Lovely show at the Alban Arena last night, possibly my favourite ever there. A chiropodist confirms the rumours about elves; the man in Hemel who deals with “Stabbings, and shit”; Do you have a brother called Tundra?; Time for the magistrate to buy a gong. #youhadtobethere

Day 2 has begun with Waterworld and seeing people drink piss...in the film.

No - I will not explain the Mr Bobby x Noel Edmonds photo.
