Six Degrees of Kevin Eldon

You're all familiar with Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, right?

I discovered this week that I can reach Kevin Eldon in just one hop in two different ways via two people I know.

He has appeared in a lot of stuff, hasn't he?

So, let's play the Kevin Bacon game with Kevin Eldon.

If I was to say "Johnny Depp" you might say "Johnny Depp was in the Fast Show with Simon Day who was in Swiss Toni with Adam Buxton who was in Time Trumpet with Stewart Lee who was in Fist of Fun with Kevin Eldon"

Or you could show off and say "Johnny Depp was in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Kevin Eldon" for more points.

And no cheating.

Up for it?

Your first mission is: Dara O'Briain.

EDIT:

RULE #1: Each link must involve a comedy of some description.

RULE #2: You can only mention each comedy once per chain.

RULE #3: If you must resort to panel shows then both people in the link must have appeared as non-regular guests in the same episode.

Dara was on QI with Stephen Fry, who was on QI with Jess Hynes, who was in Spaced with the actor Kevin Eldon.

But wouldn't you just be stuck with QI or Mock The Week? Sod that...
