When I first told my friends I was reading a book written by a comedian I was promptly informed that comedians can't write. I have not read any other books written by comedians, but if this is the case this man is an exception to the rule.
Dara has a really easy and engaging writing style. I found this a great book to read just before going to bed. This is when I usually tend the find the time for most of my reading. He has divided his book by his tour locations and bite size chunks.
He writes the book from the point of view as an Irish immigrant and includes many examples of comedic remarks about English behaviour. Dara has also included my funny anecdotes of audience members from his tour. It's worth reading just for these if I am completely honest. The Bournemouth anecdote did not do us justice.
I have to point out that the tour travel travel plan was completely illogical. However, this was my first autobiography. It has definitely given me the confidence to pick up another. Highly recommended.
