Back of fag box book review – Tickling the English by Dara O’Briain
By

Text of review reads:
The successor to the crown of England’s favourite Irishman will surely be taken by Dara O’Briain when the time comes for Terry Wogan to take a permanent lie down in a darkened room.
The English need a funny Irishman as much as their stiff upper lip. O’Briain’s book sheds a bit more light on a country and its people from the point of view of a comedian on a countrywide tour.
His account is fast paced, witty, intelligent and informative. We learn a lot about Dara and the craft of comedian as well as England and the English. A must read for anyone living on ‘these islands’.
Rating 5 out of 5 stars.

AJ, whether English or not, we all need at least two Irish men in our lives. Leaving your own good self, and the heady heights of James Joyce, aside: Dylan Moran captured my heart many a moon ago and has stayed anchored.
