    I'd love to have meet Dara O'Briain. The guy is so quick witted. Anyone that can create an entire show from audience input alone is genius.

    Would love to have a pint with him anywhere really but probably the Long Hall on Geogres St (a real talkers pub). Would love to talk about anything really but mainly his outlook on religion and science as it is pretty damn close to mine. Would be very serious and interesting but he would still have the ability to take the piss out of it.

    Who?: Dara O'Briain (one of, if not 'the' funniest, wittiest, most quick thinking man on television).

    Where?: It wouldn't really matter, but contrary to 'the ad', sure you CAN, usually anyway, beat a Dublin pub. Maybe the Gravity Bar so we could remember Dublin when it had two striped chimneys....(thanks B.Cullen) and lots more cranes.

    Why?: As an Irish comedian/presenter once said "For every occasion there’s the perfect pub".

    I say "For every pub there's the perfect person to have a pint with....." Ahhhh howya Dara....what are you havin'

    I would have to say Rich Hall, pint in hand at Ground Zero, New York. We could talk conspiracy theories til the cows come home. Apparently, Sarah Ferguson was going to fly the second plane until she found out she wasn't able to spend the money afterwards. TRUTH

    I'd like to have a pint with Dara O'Briain in a biker bar in South Dakota--Dara would have to wear his suit, of course.
    Why? I'd just like to see the depth and breadth of his ability to interact with his audience.;)

    Who? - PJ Gallagher

    Where? - On the end of Dun Laoighaire peer dressed in full scuba diving gear.

    Why? - Eating Oysters and drinking Guinness through the snorkels, waiting for the dirty oul wans that are always hanging around there.

    I would love to have a pint with the natural successor to Flann O'Brien and Dermot Morgan the one and only Barry Murphy.


    I would love to have a pint with him in the corporate box at the new Aviva stadium during Ireland's soccer teams first match there.

    All he would have to do is put a box on his head and chanel Frank Stapleton or just to listen to his comments on the match as himself. Comedy Gold

    I'd like to bring Dara O'Briain to my local AA meeting so he could share a pint with me and the lads.

    It would have to be Arj Barker.

    I would ask him where he purchases his impressive array of bandana's from.
    Who is smellier, Bret or Jermaine?
    Did he get to keep the shirt with the 2 rats?
    Was he born with his soul patch as i have never seen him without it.
    Of course i would have to ask him who would win in a fight, Shark or Tiger, Electric Eel or octopus, Superman v Batman.
    His favorite tea.

    I'd like to have a pint (I prefer cocktails......can it be a cocktail??) with Dara Ó Briain in my local. I'd invite lots of friends, arm him with lots of scandal on them, and enjoy Dara's quick wit while he takes the mick outta all of them! :D

    Ed Byrne on a pirate ship. So I could make him take a long walk off the plank after a pint.

    I'd like to have a pint with Barry Murphy on the set of the early 90's late night show Couched, which he did with Mark Doherty. I could take Mark's place and we could watch crap TV and play insane nonsensical board games. oh the memories....

    Would have to be PJ Gallagher. Location could be anywhere, maybe Mondello Park, cause he never stops talking about bikes lately. Get him locked, and see how good he really is at racing :D

    WHO: I would have a pint with Des Bishop (If I was lucky enough!!)

    WHERE: It would have to be in my local pub which is your typical irish country pub with balding old men sat round the bar.

    WHY: The conversation would be great & the jokes would be flowing just as much as the pints!!

    I'd most like to have a pint with david o doherty and discuss his 100 facts about pandas, maybe put it to a catchy tune! Or consider including red pandas his second book, the lil Ginger ones deserve to be included too!

    I would like to have a pint with Mike Wilmot, in his caravan in a windswept trailer park in the arse-end of Canada. I think this would naturally lead on to a conversation about how having to wind up your home makes you feel like a loser. I would then lead the discussion on to how Irish people use the c-word as a verb, adjective, noun, term of affection - I believe Mr Wilmot has some hilarious views on this. Then I would produce a bottle of Aftershock and see how the evening progressed from there...

    I'd like to have a pint with David O'Doherty. I have a few faq for the D.O.D :)
    It would probably be in the Kytlers Inn in Kilkenny. As it is in Kilkenny that the festival is and also it is a cool pub. We could watch the guy who regurgitates things there, and whatever other happenings they have on. I could tell him about the time I saw Stephen Roche and David could tell me how beautiful I am looking. It would be a great night! afaik.

    I would like to have a pint with Karl Spain, somewhere very private. I would attempt to drug him, then transport him to the deepest jungle in Africa, left with nothing but video camera and his underwear. He could then record his wacky exploits in trying to figure out what happened and survive etc.

    I would have the jar with Neil Delamere, and in Mickey Martins in Limerick.

    And why simply because of the Grainne Seoige and Mairead Farrell cat fight, with himself prancing around with the round number genius.

    WHO: Probably David O'Doherty - The Man, The Myth, The Miracle!

    WHERE: Probably O'Faolain's Bar, Kilkenny (during the Carlsberg Cat Laughs Comedy Festival)

    WHY: Probably because I'd won the VIP trip, was in Kilkenny and happened to bump into my favourite Irish comedian of all time, Mr. O'Doherty, on the street and invited him to join me for a pint of Carlsberg!

    Carlsberg don't usually give me comedy related festival trips to Kilkenny, but if they did.....

    There's an auld cat that hangs around Paidi O Se's pub in Ventry so I'd go there for a pint with Des Bishop. If the cat laughs though, it's probably just at Des's Irish ;)
