Radio Times review
Dara O Briain is a very safe pair of hands for hosting Live at the Apollo, which continues its newly-demoted run on BBC Two this week. Whether it's the sexiness of men's elbows, the tragedy that built the Channel Tunnel or a very clever (if rude) way to get men to be completely honest, the Irish comedian holds court with a casual confidence and panache that most of his peers could only dream of.
That said, his guests on tonight's show more than hold their own, whether it's the wry deconstructions of Zoe Lyons or the dark and controversial gags of Paul Chowdhry. Forget which channel it's on - when this series works, it really works.

Zoe Lyons, The Big Issue, 29th April 2015Zoe Lyons exclusive guest blog
There is no defined clear career path for what I do. You have to grab the scythe of faith firmly by the handle and cut your own route. When I first decided to try stand-up comedy I didn't know any comics and I had only ever been to a handful of comedy clubs but I just knew I really wanted to give it a go. One of those gut urges that you can't explain.
