Dara O Briain

Dara Ó Briain (born February 4, 1972) is an acclaimed Irish stand-up comedian and television presenter. Best known for his rapid-fire delivery, razor-sharp crowd work, and intelligent observational humor, he was the long-running host of BBC's Mock the Week. He holds a degree in Mathematical Physics from University College Dublin.
He began his career in the early 1990s on the Irish stand-up circuit. He is known for performing globally—from Moscow to Sydney—and regularly plays at Dublin's legendary Vicar Street. Some of his most successful global tours include Crowd Tickler (2015), Voice of Reason, and the award-winning So... Where Were We?. His comedy blends high-energy storytelling, deep-dive science and logic puzzles, and playful—often self-deprecating—audience interactions.
