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.
