    Lovely review of the new tour in The British Comedy Guide this week. It mentions that the previous tour is a good companion piece; if you want to see that show here’s the link to the special we did of it… youtu.be/ELVehvpeMi4?si… UK/Ireland tour dates on daraobriain.com

    Gutted. Was supposed to be attending a wedding in Trinidad, but it’s just been cancelled. Family won’t say why.

    Just found out that George Floyd was originally stopped by the police because he handed over a counterfeit note in a shop. I did that once! They handed me back the note as a souvenir, and later I told the story on stage in a comedy routine. That’s some privilege right there.

    Here is my annual reminder that if Santa is bringing a games console, Santa might want to plug it in and turn it on and get all the updates done now, in advance, so that it is all ready to go on the big day.

    If the government are planning to re-open schools in 3 weeks, shouldn’t we just vaccinate all teachers and school staff right now?

    This is genuinely insane. I mean, just worryingly divorced from any reality. How desperate are people to believe this nonsense?

    Elon Musk: "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, are living their lives quietly [Like The Hobbits in The Shire] — until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start r*ping the kids."

    Still, at least I didn’t bail on it after two weeks and fuck off to my house in France, eh Andrew? All the best! X

    I remember when I moved to London I couldn’t open an account at Lloyd’s in Crouch End because they didn’t accept the Irish passport as valid ID. I didn’t go on Newsnight to complain; I just went next door to Barclays. Nigel is such a drama Queen.

    I will never understand how Britain has a government that celebrates giving up their own citizen’s freedoms. That’s YOUR freedom of movement they’re ending.

    We’re ending free movement to open Britain up to the world. It will ensure people can come to our country based on what they have to offer, not where they come from.

    Ah shite, Sinead O’Connor has died. That’s just very sad news. Poor thing. I hope she realised how much love there was for her.

    Looking forward to, I dunno, stealing somebody’s bag later and if caught, just repeating “I take full responsibility for this” as I walk away, carrying the bag.
