Elliott Clarke, Giggle Beats, 26th January 2012An interview with Gary Delaney
One-liner comedian Gary Delaney tends to write for the likes of 8 Out of 10 Cats, Jason Manford's Comedy Rocks and Russell Howard's Good News, but last Thursday he appeared on Dave's One Night Stand alongside Ardal O'Hanlon and Josie Long. "It was nice to be the guy in front of the camera, rather than the guy behind it writing the jokes", he tells Radio Teesdale's Peter Dixon.
Peter Dixon, Giggle Beats, 23rd November 2011Judging by the line-ups for the third series of this programme, I think it's safe to say that Dave are running low on suitable locations to film. The first episode featured Ardal O'Hanlon performing in Dublin, a city which the programme's already covered in the last series when Jason Byrne performed there. Later in the series, Stephen K Amos is performing in London, Jack Whitehall's location in the first series. And Reginald D Hunter is performing in Edinburgh, which, as far as I know, isn't where he lives currently. It's certainly not his hometown, although since that would mean filming in America you can excuse Dave for not going there...
In terms of the first edition of the series, O'Hanlon seemed to be performing well, but like many an occasion on this programme I was more impressed by the guests he had performing alongside him. This episode featured one-liner stand-up Gary Delaney (who, out of interest to northern comedy fans, is Sarah Millican's boyfriend) and Josie Long. I probably favoured Delaney's one-liners over Long's narrative, if I'm honest, but both demonstrated why they're two of the most sought after comedians in the country.
