dara o' briain is one of the best irish comdians around at the minute.
I also went to see sean kent a few weeks ago, i had never heard of him (it was just a stand up night that is always held near us and you never know who is going to appear) but he was funny as hell, i youtubed him and found some of his earlier stuff which wasn't nearly as funny as his new stuff cos his humour has totally changed.
also ricky gervais, especially his stuff when he was on the 11 o'clock show. |

His tours were pretty funny, but some of his stuff at the start when he first became famous was quite annoying, billy bites yer bum etc I found to be too much about is fame and wasn't that funny, I thought the same of ricky Gervais with his show 'fame' but it was still much funnier than billy's earlier stuff.
I would still love to see him in concert though |

He is without a doubt in my mind the best Irish comedian ever. |
