Dara Ó Briain Marquee, Cork

Did he open with the football? Jimmy Carr? No.

Dara Ó Briain opened with the weather and 4,000 people laughed.

The Marquee gig got off to a good start. As the comedian pointed out, it was pure comedy, in Cork, in a tent, in the rain. And then he mentioned Jedward (they own the tent during the day) and invited the audience to imagine what an hour of just jumping would be like — of course he mimed a JW move and the audience corpsed.
