Sean's stand-up is a blend of a finely tuned hyperactive imagination, surreal imagery and insightful observations on the human condition...and Keep It Light is about Sean keeping the tone light and funny, as he talks about the price of cinema food, accusations of him having a midlife crisis, his behaviour on the Internet and jewellery heists.

Ed Byrne is now one of the most successful comedians around. A familiar face - and voice - on many TV programmes, he has appeared in all of the best-known shows and, with great friend Dara Ó Briain, starred in Dara and Ed's Big Adventure, about their journey along the Pan-American Highway. This great show was recorded live in concert.

I listened to this while I was on a treadmill in the gym. A friend told me afterwards that people had been watching at me because my facial expressions and inability to control my laughter made be look and sound like some kind of maniac!

Daire is one of my favourite Irish comedians and his 'Live At the Theatre Royal' doesn't dissapoint. Worth downloading just for the anecdote about the train museum in Bolton. Classic O'Briain at his best.

THIS IS HILARIOUS
I wasn't sure what this would be like as I had only seen Dara on Mock the Week. I wasn't disappointed. Absolutely side-splitting stuff! I was listening to this on my ipod on the bus home and needless to say I encountered a few strange looks when I involuntarily laughed out loud! Really great!

Very funny
O'Brian is a great observational comedian.
The only reason he didn't get 5 stars is that there a couple of visual comedy moments which you just cant get with audio.

Less than I hoped
Sound quality was not the best and was language was quite sweary. Don't get me wrong, I'm Irish and swear a lot, but not used to Dara swearing that much.
Still it's entertaining and I did laugh out loud on many occasions, which is rare for me.

My Favorite Irish Comedian
Actually, my favorite comedian, edging out Steven Wright, the previous title holder. His routine here is among his best, and it will be the rare audiobook that I'll listen to repeatedly.
It doesn't hurt that Dara is a skeptic, grounded in reality. His back and forth with the audience and sharp observations about culture are noteworthy. The only two drawbacks are that, as an American, there are some references that I just don't get, and that I may never get to see him in person. Every possible thumb up.
