Dara Ó Briain, the Irish comedian who hosted Mock the Week, played his tour Re:Creation at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 February 2026.
Ó Briain was born in Bray, County Wicklow, in 1972. He studied mathematics and theoretical physics at University College Dublin, then began on Irish children’s television before he moved into stand-up.
Mock the Week ran on BBC Two from 2005 to 2022 and made him one of the best-known faces on British panel comedy. He has also presented Stargazing Live with Brian Cox and the maths quiz School of Hard Sums.
His previous tour, So, Where Were We?, played 173 venues across 20 countries. Re:Creation was billed as a return to what he likes most: standing in a theatre, telling stories and improvising with the audience.
The London leg opened with one night on 26 February. A second night was added on 27 February, and both evenings opened their doors at 19:00. A week later the tour crossed to Brussels, Rotterdam and Eindhoven.
