If anything good came about from the covid quarantine, it introduced me (an American) to British comedians through UA-cam. It started with a search for John Cleese, which led me to the Graham Norton show, which led me to Lee Mack, to WILTY, to Rob and David, to Dara, Mock the Week, Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock, Joe Wilkinson, etc, etc.. A million laughs.
Have you tried The Mighty Boosh yet? STRONG recommend.
I think in this list you have nailed the titans of UK comedy. There's a few others but I think you'll enjoy finding them on your own.
If I had to, and I don't, pick a comedian for you to check out next... Maybe Sarah Millican. She is at the height of her game at the moment.
From Newcastle so the accent will take some getting used to. Working class everyday observational comedy from a woman's perspective. A lot of it is side splitting.
@@doctorsuave Thanks, I haven't but will check it out!
@@matthewbowers88 I've seen Sarah many times on game shows. She is the spitting image of my cousin. I have no trouble with her accent and will have to check out her stand up. Thanks for the recommendation. An accent I do have trouble with is Peter Kay, who is hilarious when I understand what he's saying but generally talks faster than my mind can translate.
@@DonStrenzhave you seen the clip of Peter Kay's show where they talk about dogging? I first saw it during lockdown, had no idea who he was, and cried laughing. Still watch it once in a while. It's silly and broad humour, but it works.
18:25 - my favourite showbiz insult performed by Dara was as host of Mock the week - where the guests where ribbing him and he was a bit upset - to which one of them said "well what did you expect showing a weakness to a bunch of comedians?" to which Dara replied, "I consider you friends I don't consider you comedians!", such a great burn!
I'm from Sweden and have seen and appreciated tons of stuff from both you Rob and Dara, so don't be afraid of coming here and be doing shows and whatever.
I know Dara was in Gothenburg last year, as were Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican and Dylan Moran.
I've just checked.
It was Lee Mack who asked him to do the "catwalk walk", then Denise van Outen doubled down on Dara demonstrating but Dara still refused and finally Rob also said that he thinks it would be "right for Dara to do it" - so he finally stood up and walked the "catwalk"...
I knew it. I just knew it must be Lee.
The Cat Walk Dara did on WILTY had me rolling around snorty with laughter
The chat about the audiences and then about the families not being there because it's just a job at the end of the day, chef's kiss. I live for these insights into career paths like these, that are just so out of the ordinary
Out of the Comedians who mainly just do Stand-Up no acting just Stand-Up and panel shows (and the occasional science documentary) , Dara is probably one of the best in the world.
He is one of the best without a doubt.
I remember watching him as a presenter when I was a kid, it was either The Grip, or The Island, but I wouldn't have pegged him as the hilarious guy he went on to be!
@@timothygraham4304it was Echo Island on RTE2.
Dara and Sean Lock are both amazing! I'll watch anything either is on.
And still driving that Megabus!
The most hilarious thing about this to me is when Dara mentions him being 51 years old, it makes me remember a show he did years ago and in the show he said he was 34, and he was very much aware of the fact that he looked older. Well, I'd just like to say Dara, you looked 51 then, so you look damn good now all these years later😄
Is it only by some odd coincidence that 51 is 3*17, 34 is 2*17, and his first show was at 17?
@@ericminch Yes
@@mytube001 😂
He only follows Dara every 17 years @@ericminch
I've had a crap day. Rob's "I can't be late for this, it's Americans" was exactly the cure for this. (For reference, I'm Canadian.) I just spent nearly a minute laughing, which is probably a stress reaction, but I sure do feel better now, so thanks.
I wonder what he was recording, then.
😂 yes I come online for free comedy therapy when the days make me weary. Hope today's a better day for you 🙂.
If anyone from Rob's team reads these messages, this was actually one of the best chats he's done.
Very True
Are you kidding me? Dara made Rob so uncomfortable, it made me uncomfortable.
Harlvard Lange said,
“We do not regard Englishman as foreigners. We look on them only as rather mad Norwegians."
The catwalk wilty is one of my all time favourite episodes, and he totally rocked it. It had a real "last day of school" atmosphere (might have been last ep of the series?). It was so much fun.
That was the famous WILTY where Dara's catwalk 'dance' included a 'face swivel' that incensed Lee no end. Remember it well.
Its actually so fascinating to see two comedians talking about the details of how their careers work, really not something I've seen before.
I’m an Australian comedy nerd - Dara acknowledged my existence! WOO-HOOOO! 😃❤️👍
Flew back from Copenhagen last week with Dara. Would have loved to have chatted with him but he was with his family so I didn’t. But what a great comedian
The catwalk was BRILLIANT!!
This was a joy. I loved Dara's beef with his WILTY appearances. I think he's too hard on himself - the catwalk bit was brilliant and is always fun to see again when it pops up in TV or YT. I think it was Denise Van Outen that encouraged him to do the walk as well as Davina. It's was great!
But Rob I did love your Nicholas Witchell High Court impression. If it's the next showbiz scandal then I'm here for it!
Yes. That catwalk bit is a favorite Dara moment!
Great chat. You two are gold together. Wish more Welsh/Irish/British comedians that would come here to Amsterdam. I feel like we get overlooked, although I managed to catch Bill Bailey in Rotterdam. Lots of fans here, BTW my dream WILTY line-up would be Dara, Bob Mortimer, Greg Davies, and Rhod Gilbert.
I agree with your dream WILTY line up and would add Claudia Winkleman and Henning Wehn, too. I remember Dara and his "walk" on WILTY, but I also remember his responses to Rhod's hamster story.
I'm not a comedian, but if I were, I would come to Amsterdam.
@@marywood8794that walk was one of the best WILTY moment 😂
Agreed!
I like that Dara can give great humor and also takes a joke. I loved him on Taskmaster. So funny.
same
S14 of Taskmaster was terrific!
The way these two speak about their spouses just reinforces my faith in humanity. Why the hell should these wonderful strong women follow us around.. brilliant. so loving and respectful. Two truly good guys.
Every few weeks I remember that there won't be any new Mock The Week episodes and I feel so sad, but anytime I see new Dara content, it boosts me just a little :) Thanks Rob!
Dara has helped me throughout the years with the Mock the Week show. I loved that show what an incredible run he has had over the last two decades.
Swivel of the face - that was a great WILTY episode 😂
I love the idea of saying "Previous guests include..." to someone who has been a previous guest. Some day I have to find a reason to rib a friend that way.
I saw Dara in Folketeateret last year! He was great, and the atmosphere was really good, like he says the people here really click with his comedy
Dara! ❤
Like watching two moths detailed reminiscence over a good night's flitting near so many flames...superb.
Dara is one of my all time fave comedians. I have seen him twice both in Oslo and in Stavanger. Funny enough the last time I felt he talk a bit fast at times the first time no issues whatsoever.
And yes we Get wilty here in norway as well as QI and lots more.
Rob you should come to norway too we would love to have you
Gotta luv the way they play off each other. I get to see Dara next month in Canada. Yes we luv him here.
One of the best chats, I'd love to see more of the in depth, behind the scenes comedy world - it's the kind of realité that people want to see in interviews.
Well done establishing these wonderful podcasts Rob. I love em!
Two greats having a chat
Is what good days are made of
these little chats are great. Dara Ó Briain has been a favorite for a long time. 😻
The catwalk was brilliant still makes me laugh, as Dara always does thanks mate.
Congratulations to Rob for reaching 100K subscribers!!
AWESOME!!!!
It was Denise Van Outen, Dara.
I had to go rooting through the archives....I dont waste my evenings 😅.
This was a great interview. Loved the German references, so funny, and I AM German. 😂😂
Woohoo! Aussie comedy nerd! recognise!
Dara came to Canada to do standup in 2020 and I'm a huge fan. Then covid hit. His show was cancelled 4 days before he was due to appear. I was crushed. I'd bought the tickets months in advance. Not blaming Dara, just fate (and Covid)
I had my front row center seat also booked as soon as I heard of it. But it was rescheduled much later, and I kept my great seat for it. Great show!
Absolutely adore these two
Two of my favorite comedians! Always a good interview with Rob hosting
We love Rob Brydon over here in Norway as well, just putting it out there. 😅 (even your Terry Wogan and Ronnie Corbett is welcome, no matter how much Lee Mack pretends it’s overdone!)
I love WILTY and I love(d) Mock the Week. They get me through the tough days of uni when I get home. It’s like my two worlds are colliding seeing them together for this! 🎉
To see Dara and Rob just sitting there cracking on is beautiful. Love the colour of the couch.
This is the second time in a few days I've heard about British TV being big in Norway. Apparently Midsomer Murders is *really* popular in that country, as well.
It's funny he mentions it, I have watched WILTY clips a billion times, and that catwalk one is one of my favourites. But I always notice that as he gets repeatedly nagged by Rhod Gilbert and Denis van Outen to do his move, he seems more and more exasperated, until he does it. So I am not surprised at all that he brings it up as a little niggle from the show
We love you Dara! Thanks for your great work, we are happier because of it :)
Dara, Rob, I love you both, deep love
- singapore
"...bathed in the lovely bath of..." - oh, if only I could speak like that Rob fella!
Dara does speak quite fast, but he was quite clear on Taskmaster... loved his stint there! Oh, and yes, the 3 appearances on WILTY as well.
Dara's latest live show is right up there with one of his best.
What a thoroughly great episode! Loved hearing from my favourite Taskmaster contestant. :) The technical chat about venues was particularly interesting. And as a German I have to say it would be lovely if more English-speaking comedians visited us.
I love the irony that the interview started with Sam Jackson not remembering meeting Dara and ended with Rob not remembering what Dara did on wilty
"We have dozens of listeners" 😂
German and French speaking areas a) have a much larger native cultural output, so there's less need to "import" and b) due to the larger internal output have fewer people who speak English confidently enough to listen to Dara's beautiful accent. This changes of course with younger generations, but it still makes it difficult to find the audience. Speaking as an Austrian here who is an avid fan of British panel shows.
Is French comedy more different from British or Irish comedy anyway? If it works in southern Belgium, why not Northern France? Or do they just play Brussels, Antwerp and various places in Flemish Belgium?
What is the situation in comedy in Austria (and possibly Bavaria as well)? Is it still markedly different to Northern and Central Germany or is there little difference these days?
Wonderful, more Dara please.
Absolutely lovely! Two seasoned pros working effortlessly together. I love Rob's asides to the "audience" in his newscaster's voice. Nothing makes me click as fast as when I see another one of these vids pop up. How about Peter Kay Rob? Maybe the ensuing mayhem might be too much!!!
I've previously referred to Dara O'Briain as almost like an Irish Robin Williams, for how lightning quick and hilariously manic his stage show can be. And ever since I first discovered Taskmaster back in around 2018 I think it was, when I formulated who my dream 5 would be, Dara was immediately right at the top of that list. So when he AND Fern Brady (my newest crazy obsession as of about a year and a half ago) were announced to be in series 14, I just about lost my goddamn mind.
Taskmaster!!!!!!
Robin Williams?....I’m sure he’s good...There is nobody who can compare to Dara...ever🤩
I loved the catwalk😉😉😉
We love you both in Denmark as well
Very much enjoyed this episode!
I feel Adam Buxton would be a great guest to chat to too!
Great show guys. Please do it again, it's a great conversation. (BTW I'm a US fan, I love British and Irish comedy, there are a few of us over here).
Somewhere a Professor Brian Cox is weeping into his cornflakes when Dara failed to mention Stargazing.
Speaking of Greg Davies, when is Rob going to be on Taskmaster? Dara has already been and set the season record for points.
I’m so excited that Dara is coming to my hometown in New Zealand - we never get anyone come this far! Got my tickets a week ago
What a delightfully refreshing chat. I never new my soul could get so fluffy.
These interviews are marvellous as we get to see an insight into the guests life and career that we never normally see. I would love to see Rob interview Dave Gorman
I'm just a plain old Canadian with absolutely no Irish or British decent and I've been following British panel shows for years. I'd love for both Rob and Dara to come to Montreal. British humour is just so good.
If you’re big in Norway, Dara, why the fech do you not come to see us in Denmark ?
We’re just down the bloody road !
More up the bloody road 😊
Love the thumbnail, Rob.
Honestly, I think you lads are being a bit hard on yourselves but between you and Dara, I'd still be hard pressed to say which of you is my favourite insult to showbiz.
😉😄
Hello from Norway. Yes ! We love british comedy, in all forms. Sit-coms, Stand up and TV shows are very popular. I think it is the culture being much the similar in many ways. I belive if you English people understood Norwegian, you would like much of our comedy as well. And almost everybody here speak and understand English good enough to enjoy stand up and daily conversation. And Rob, I love this channel, where you have entertaining dialogue with many of my favourite comedians👍
What are the biggest British TV comedies/comedians there?
@@tonycowin Ha Ha, there are so many. Monty Pyton , Fawlty Towers, Black adder, keeping up appearances, peep show, the office and Gervais other series. A lot of very good standup comedians, S Coogan, Rob Brydon, Millican, M Macintyre.Fry, H Laurie, Not the nine o'clock news, Smith and Johnes, Benny Hill, Mr Bean,There are so many. I could name many more. I like british comedy more than American.
I love hearing the behind the scenes process type stuff and experiences and quirks of the job, much more interesting to me than the usual anecdotes and jokes
Good interview. Both Rob and Dara are exceptional comedic minds.
I never thought of myself as a comedy nerd, until now...Started with Monty Python on PBS in the 1970's...And continues with Mock the Week, Taskmaster, etc. to this day....
I'm from Germany and I love you all very much 🤗
I loved this conversation. Looking forward to his return to the pod!
Brilliant 😅
Came here for the Belgian mention! Big fan!
That awkward Mark Wahlberg interview has stuck with me for years lmao, funny to hear Dara recount it
Aparently he was just very tired and sleepy. He usually wakes up at 3 or 4 every morning to work out.
@@sjinzaar Oh sure.
I've just tried to watch it (partially) and did not find it that rude. - Yeah Mark Wahlberg was irritated but I have seen worse things in interviews / talkshows...
He just seemed like an American
@@dylancobalt7807We're not all like that. I must prefer that you think that he was rude as opposed to all of us bring rude! Lol
Love to see Dara there 😊 seems like a great guy. Å
I wish the long form podcast was shown as a video too. Love watching Rob's guests as much as listening, most of the time.
Dara is one of the all-time greats, when it comes to stand-up, never failing to be affable and funny. Just the tonic for any day or situation 😊
Complete agree. It boggles my mind why they don’t upload the full version as a video.
@@phillipedwardness9591 Don’t think he’s allowed to contractually.
@@DMMJBSM right, so you think this is through the talent bank, and he’s got the agreement to use parts of it on his UA-cam but they’ve held onto the full thing?
@@phillipedwardness9591 Read somewhere, may have been a reply from a previous video, apparently not able to show the full video on UA-cam,possibly due to his contract with Spotify.
Norwegian here, not sure I will be able to explain our whole deal. But yea we have sort of a love crush on you brits.
Even when it comes to sports, ask a Norwegian guy what football team he follows; he will tell you an English premier league team first (or one of your lower divisions), only secondly will his local team come up.
Not entirely sure why this is so myself but yea we do feel a much closer connection to you brits than we do to the rest of continental Europe. Perhaps excluding Denmark, but even then danish can be quite hard for us to understand; so I would say British shows are more popular than danish ones.
Myself I sort of started out with monty python into blackadder and then it kind of exploded.
Fawlty Towers Father Ted Hignfy QI Al Murray's barthing? the IT crowd various commedians live at the apollo countdown would i lie to you and so on (many many more).
Like I found a new world and I loved it all.
In terms of the language we do not dub movies here only children's stuff gets dubbed. And English is the second language, mandatory for all kids; with fairly decent education. So we tend to learn english pretty well. The third mandatory language, that we only have for a few years (spanish/fench/german) very few of us learn. Typically just pass the test and forget about it after.
"no man, there's a whole world out there" is pure gold
I love Dara. I loved him especially in Three Men in Boat, as he always seemed like the sensible one in that!
The one with the gammy leg?
Rob, please come do a show in Boston! You can bring Dara if you like, as he's got some local experience anyway 😅
If they talk about “doing Graham” any more, I’ll have some questions ..!
Please please come to France!! Big Rob and Dara fan here! I could force my French students to attend the show for credit 😁
"Dozens of listeners" 😂
Don't be so modest Rob
It's at least scores of listeners.
I always feel a bit weird when we all know and love those moments like Dara's catwalk thing, but Rob hardly remembers anything about it.
Had that feeling several times about different hosts.
Like Jimmy Carr on BigFatQuiz, I remember there was a fact that I learned from BFQ, but when couple of years later Jimmy was randomly asked something about the very fact he was reading off his card on BFQ a couple of years ago - he also didn't remember a thing about it. Despite he was deciding who gets the points for their answer on BFQ, but lost any memory of that.
Kinda like if someone was talking to Einstein and was like - "Oh, you know I think e=mc2", and Einstein is like - "Oh gosh, a brilliant thought, I think you just might be right..."
I think Anton du Beke is still there. I see him on my screen, introducing the big lovely Irishman that is Dara O'Briain.
Loved this episode!! I have listened to it twice. I would LOVE to see Ade Edmonson on here!
Cheers from Germany. There are some of us who do watch a lot of British comedy, but admittedly it is all from illegal youtube uploads, for lack of any legal way. Granted, my friends have never heard of Rob or Dara, but to me they are superstars.
Awww rest in peace Michael Parkinson 🌟
Oh my goodness - that's sad news, RIP indeed dear "Parky" 💔😔🇳🇱
Great interview/ episode. 😂
RIP to Parkinson .
One of the best.
We would love to have you over for a show in Norway, Rob 🇳🇴
wait how long has this podcast existed?? Ive been over here binge watching ancient episodes of WILTY for years to fill the void in my heart with some Rob Brydon and UK comics...
Rob was my favorite part of the Barbie movie by the way!!
It was a lockdown thing that he kept doing I think.
Watched all the interviews with guests that I like, & they’ve all been brilliant.
Wait? I'm an Australian that watches WILTY, 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, Mock the Week (repeats now), and Taskmaster. Why does that make me a comedy nerd?!
