Dara Ó BriainDistinguished Television Presenter and Global Stand-up Comedian

Dara Ó Briain is widely regarded as one of the most adaptable presenters and sharpest comedians in the industry. After studying Mathematical Physics at University College Dublin, he began his television career as a children’s presenter on RTÉ while concurrently developing his craft on the Irish comedy circuit. His international acclaim was cemented early on when his performance at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal led to a prestigious slot alongside Joan Rivers. Since then, his live tours have seen him sell out venues globally, from Shanghai to Melbourne. His extensive television portfolio includes hosting long-running hits such as Mock the Week and The Apprentice: You're Fired!, as well as revitalising iconic formats like Robot Wars and Blockbusters. He has a unique ability to bridge the gap between entertainment and academia, having interviewed Professor Stephen Hawking and fronted the Stargazing series. Beyond the screen, he is a prolific author whose science-focused books for children, such as Beyond the Stars and Secret Science, have received critical acclaim and a Blue Peter Book Award nomination. A frequent host of the BAFTA Games Awards, he is one of the most requested awards masters of ceremonies in the United Kingdom. Audiences book him for his extraordinary quick wit, his commanding stage presence, and his rare capacity to handle complex subjects with intelligence and humour. Their work resonates with leaders across Comedy and Entertainment, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Dara Ó Briain is regularly booked for Presenter & Awards Host, Performers and Entertainer and After Dinner Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
