Ah, Dublin, you gorgeous beast. Doing the last pre-summer gigs of the tour here this weekend, and then back for the UK in Autumn and Dublin again in January. And then Europe and the world yadda yadda. Look, just let me enjoy the nice weather and the city looking great.

Last three shows in Dublin this week! Three gorgeous shows last week including: Deserts brought direct to your table; Dara’s gaydar strikes again; you dropped that Toronto accent fast; and the old saying “Two assholes can make a nice child”. #youhadtobethere

Huge thanks to all who came out to the Marquee in Cork last night. As ever, one of the great nights of the tour. Here I am, in characteristic Christ-like pose.

So I did the brand new Soho Theatre Walthamstow last night. Gorgeous room, beautifully refurbished. Go look their program up and give it a visit!

Free day in Birmingham before tonight’s show, so - oh, the decadence! - watched a movie in a cinema where I was the only person in the room. They even delivered food midway through “since it’s only you in there”. Absolute bliss.

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?...

This is a delight, and full of funny people. In cinemas in Ireland now. Also, more films should be set in Sallynoggin.

A litle bit of silliness for your friday afternoon. Me, totally losing it onstage, a week ago in Dublin.
Lovely fella by the way, he thought this hilarious, albeit in a characteristically hangdog way, just to re-assure you.

Exciting headlines to wake up to! I didn’t remember saying that…
It turns out the “bullying” in question was Ed Byrne and co making jokes about me on the show. So, yeah, I think we’re all cool with that.

Dropped in to UCD today for the first time in about 20 years. Among many changes The Trap, the underground pool hall in the Arts block, is gone, replaced by classrooms, but I sneaked in to one and found the original artwork behind a curtain!

Highlight of a generally great Paddy’s day: Meeting the legend that is @feargalsharkey.bsky.social who, to all his other strengths, we can add “dapper”.

Travelling by train from Dublin to Wexford for tonight’s show; had forgotten that the first half-hour is a solid nostalgia trip along the DART line.
This used to be my playground! I shout, to the surprise of the lady sitting opposite.

Editing some crowd chat videos from last week in Cork. Not sure the subtitling software is holding up.
At least, I don’t think I said this.
