Tick Bite Fever is the unconventional memoir of a very unconventional childhood. In the early Seventies, Dave Bennun`s family transplanted themselves from Swindon to the wilds of Kenya. His father, who was a doctor, had lived in Africa before (but had felt it expedient to leave when the South African government realised he was carting explosives around in the boot of his car for the ANC). For Dave, Kenya was bemusingly new. It would be his home for the next 16 years. In Kenya, the childhood memoir takes on a rather surreal tone! On the way home from school, closed because a pair of lions are padding around the playground, Dave is mugged by baboons. Meet Dave`s favourite pet Achilles, the almost indestructible dog! Find out about ` Nairobi snow`
- & the national radio station that only has three records. & read about Dave & his Dad spending happy Sunday afternoons being chased by a herd of elephants. Enchantingly funny, Tick Bite Fever is a tale of the fading innocence of childhood, miles ahead of the competition.

Nostalgia, identity, eccentricity, gin drinking & occasional violence...these are just some of the themes that st&-up comedian Dara O Briain explores in ” Tickling the English”. O Briain moved to England many years ago, but when he takes his show on tour around the country
- from deserted seaside towns & remote off-shore islands, to sprawling industrial cities & sleepy suburbs
- it`s clear to him that his adopted home is still a bit of an enigma. Why do the English pretend to be unhappy all the time? Why can`t they accept they rank about 5th, in everything? & what`s with all the fudge? But this Irishman loves a challenge; he`s certainly got the gregarious personality & the sure-fire wit to bring down the barriers of that famous English reserve, & have a good old rummage inside. Swapping anecdotes with his audiences & spending time wandering in their hometowns, this nosy neighbour holds England up to the light while exploring some of the attitudes he brought over here with him too. As Dara goes door-to-door in search of England in this part tour diary, part travelogue, the result is an affectionate, hilarious & often eye-opening journey through the Sceptred Isle.
