Tickling the English

Nostalgia, identity, eccentricity, gin drinking and occasional violence... these are just some of the themes that stand-up comedian Dara O Briain explores in Tickling the English. O Briain moved to England many years ago, but when he takes his show on tour around the country from deserted seaside towns and remote off-shore islands, to sprawling industrial cities and sleepy suburbs its clear to him that his adopted home is still a bit of an enigma.
