What to do if you are a stand up who can’t stand up?

AFTER a near career-ending knee injury, stand up comedian Danny O’ Brien is too young for pilates and too unbalanced for yoga.

So what does a touring a stand-up comedian do when he is no longer able to stand up?

The award-winning performer brings his hilarious new hour of stand-up, where self-destruction and self-discovery meet, to the Balor Theatre, Ballybofey, this Friday, March 6.

O’Brien’s ‘Reformer’ completely sold out its month-long run of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival recently as it did at the Galway International Arts Festival and a series of European and US dates in 2019.

Following in the footsteps of Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran, Danny O’Brien was hand-picked to perform as part of the iconic ‘Best of the Edinburgh Fest’ show touring Australia three years in a row – the most by any Irish comedian to date.

He has also featured on The Comedy Channel and is a regular on Irish television and radio. He has supported Today FM’s Dermot and Dave on three live tours and last year was asked to open for American comedian Bill Burr in front of over 7,000 people in Dublin.

Tickets for Danny O’Brien’s only Donegal date are on sale now, priced at €15, and are available from www.balorartscentre.com.
