..with David O'Doherty, on the soon to be introduced Quiet Carriages on the Sligo-Dublin line. Why? Shur, what better way to enjoy an O'Doh-party?

Oirthir · 01-06-2010 12:39pm

Dara O'Briain, simply because the man is a legend.

I've never seen someone so readily pick argument the stupidity of an audience member and throw it right back in their face. He'd be good banter for a pint I reckon.

Dublinstiofán · 01-06-2010 1:05pm

PJ Gallagher just so i could tell him that he doesn't have to shake his balls so much during a live show to be funny! He's funny anyway.

LowOdour · 01-06-2010 1:36pm

Id like to have a pint of Amstel with Simon Amstell....jokes aplenty would arise from that!

And i would like to see if he still keeps in contact with Preston

Devia · 01-06-2010 1:48pm

Dara Ó Briain for sure. The man had the neck to voice a radio campaign in the middle of a recession aimed at getting people into pubs to "socialise". Who wouldn't want a pint with him?

The Snipe · 01-06-2010 1:59pm

Karl Spain, in The Still House on Thomas Street, to get to know the man behind who curtin, and see what he is really like. And if he is anything like his brother Gary, then he is a really passionate genuine person.

DOC09UNAM · 01-06-2010 2:05pm

Of all of them, I'd have to say Danny Bhoy, so i could sing the pipes the pipes are calling, every time i introduce him to someone!!

Ladyhawke · 01-06-2010 2:06pm

With Maeve Higgins, in a church, dressed in a wedding dress with no wedding to go to a la Naked Camera. That show was hilarious and Maeve seems mad as a brush. Could definately get up to some divilment after a few drinks!

Dj Stiggie · 01-06-2010 2:12pm

I'd go for a pint with John Lynn in the Maynooth Student Union Bar.

The couple of times I've seen him he's taken the piss out of his years at NUI and basically says what everyone who doesn't go to Maynooth thinks of Maynooth. I'd like to see how it would go down there

Danbo! · 01-06-2010 2:14pm

I'd choose Mr. Dara O'Briain,
with envy my friends would be green,
For a pint and a chat,
All I want is just that,
but the prizes would too be a dream.

Cookie_Monster · 01-06-2010 2:24pm

Dara O'Briain without question. His attitude is spot on.

Funny outgoing guy who at the same time seem like he'd chat to you about anything anywhere, and sure isin't that what its all about. Sneaking off to your local on a Tuesday to have a pint and listen to Dara record one of those ads, secretly hoping he'll come over for a chat afterwards as he such a friendly guy. Dublin Kilkenny pubs, ya just can't beat them.

(all done in his radio accent)

timmywex · 01-06-2010 2:27pm

Des bishop.

In a mcdonalds or something like that.

Just to ask him why he continuously does rte shows on things like learning irish.....working in supermac's etc etc. Why the bother of it all, and where his ridiculous hair comes from!

JP Liz V1 · 01-06-2010 2:29pm

I take Des Bishop for a pint and teach him how to talk like a corkie

lorweld · 01-06-2010 2:32pm

Dara O'Briain, he's got ginormous feet & I'd like to know if it's really true what they say about men with big ginormous feet........ and the fact that he is hilarious

ButtersSuki · 01-06-2010 2:32pm

I'd like to have my pint with Simon Amstell backstage at the TV Now Awards as I'd like to know exactly how far (when pushed) that acerbic mind of his can go, discuss his love of boybands and Z-list celebrities (he'll LOVE Ireland!), and watch and aid his descent into drunkenness until he starts to slur his words as I just imagine he'd be a very funny drunk.

Throw in the fact that his surname is almost a beer and it's happy days all round.

Doyler92 · 01-06-2010 2:39pm

My comedian of choice would have to be Ardal O'Hanlon to have a pint with.

I'd love to have 1 or 2 pints on the old set of Father Ted.

I think the man is the funniest person ever - on Father Ted and his own stand up comedy shows.

Would also love to find out more about him.

01-06-2010 3:02pm

I'd go for a pint with Jason Byrne,
Who's advances I would have to spurn,
Then we'd go outside for a smoke,
He'd tell me a joke,
And after four pints I'd have turned!

gaz wac · 01-06-2010 3:43pm

For me, it would have to be Des Bishop. The venu would probably be Boners Corner pub in Donegal and when we're chatting up two lovely ladies, I could say " no point in you going for it Des, you dont have the balls" !

Was at his show last year in Kilkenny and he got his ball out for charity, great night...cant believe no one got it on You Tube

BrookieD · 01-06-2010 3:55pm

As mentioned above Dara O Briain, the man is just ball to the wall funny. Quick put downs and observation is just spot on. Just think of a pint with this fella would be a riot.... or cause one!!!!!

gar32 · 01-06-2010 4:08pm

David O'Doherty, but only if we can make up some funny songs together.

David O'Doherty rocks, when he is wearing his multicolored socks. He sings with a smile and make everyone laugh for a while. Sure having a pint with him we get locked.

Enjoy drink responsibly

mjquinno · 01-06-2010 4:16pm

have a pint with jason byrne and ask him is he any relation to ed bryne...

NewSteelSplash · 01-06-2010 4:19pm

I would Love to have a pint with Jason Byrne in the Red Cow Inn on the M50 at 8 am on a Summers day, I could bring Taigh my dancing Red Cat along and what better place to start a Pub crawl of Ireland. I'm a Red Head myself and we are by far the funniest people on earth, go on the Reds !

Austin1 · 01-06-2010 4:28pm

I would like to have two pints of stout with Ardal O'Hanlon in a caravan and I'd also buy two shots of Baby Guiness. I'd put the shots on the table and the pints outside the window and then I'd explain:

"now concentrate this time, Dougal. These are very small; those are far away........"

General Zod · 01-06-2010 4:30pm

I'd like to have a pint with David O'Doherty.

No, not just a pint with David O'Doherty. I'd like to have several pints with David O'Doherty and actually put together a plan to make our Education system great again, a subject of one of his songs.

Learn Irish through porno films.

It's what DeValera would have wanted.

Sugar! · 01-06-2010 4:35pm

PJ Gallagher so he could bring me to a wedding dress shop after it, and try and find me a husband. Maybe get my handcuffs cut off too! :pac:

brightkane · 01-06-2010 4:35pm

Karl Spain just to ask him does he get belly button fluff and what does he do with his.

faceman · 01-06-2010 4:56pm

Ian Coppinger - he's a bit of a legend actually. I remember when he had hair! He's very funny and an excellent improvisor (and Im not making that up!

)

Aside from that, what would be better than having a few pints with a man who does a way better Don Vito Corleone impression than Marlon Brando EVER did!!

Dub6Kevin · 01-06-2010 4:58pm

I'd take Rich Hall for a pint and ball in Tomo's Bar, Doneraille Co Cork.

It would be great for Otis Lee Crenshaw to see what REAL rednecks are like.

manu2009 · 01-06-2010 5:31pm

Id most like to have a pint with Jason Byrne so i could tell him to go and get a haircut, any pub near a barber would do

joe316 · 01-06-2010 5:37pm

It would have to be Dara, after he has plenty of friends in the beer industry and he might be able to get a second pint for free

, plus the guy is a legend of comedy and nome of gigs are the same. Each one is completely unique which shows his comic genius.
