Then a brilliant stand up comedian. Irish comedian Dara O'Brien
is here in Melbourne tonight. He's at the Arts Center Melbourne,
is playing Hamer Hall. He's played him many times over
the years. Some of you might know there's a fantastic
British weekly comedy show called Mock the Week. Dara has

I know you turned fifty last year. I hit fifty
this year. How are your fifties treating you?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm okay with fifty. I mean I liked fifty as
a number because there's a solid yes, yeah, it's an
Innings forty. It stopped me having a party, and the
COVID thing because of the timing of us meant we
could have a bash. Because I really want to make
a speech of fifty, because I think the speech of
fifty is probably the last unconditionally great speech you can make.
Because the speech is sixty.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
What's what's going to happen at sixty?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Somewhere at some point you're turning to a different woman
and going, hey, just wanted to hank you, you know,
I want to. I want to think that Roras has
been with meting some difficult times, you know, but I
think fifty is the last clear it's all been great.

new show.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
The show is actually show's got a story to it.
The show's got a real kind of a bit of
a hard to other thing to it because normally come
my hair with the bang bang bang and the funny, funny,
funny and there's loads of that.

bang bang bang with the funny, funny, funny.

you know, there's a bit of a kind of emotional
thing with Dli. The family story. It's an adoption story
to finding.

So you are you now talking about that? I know
you're talking about that.
Speaker 1 (02:29):

whole thing trying to be an amazing story, these little
weird twists and stuff like that, like there, and so
it trying to be really interesting to do this because.

southing amazing. Is it going to give anything away from
the show?
