{"product_id":"tickling-the-english","title":"Tickling The English","description":"Nostalgia, identity, eccentricity, gin drinking and occasional violence... these are just some of the themes that stand-up comedian Dara O Briain explores in Tickling the English. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e O Briain moved to England many years ago, but when he takes his show on tour around the country - from deserted seaside towns and remote off-shore islands, to sprawling industrial cities and sleepy suburbs - it's clear to him that his adopted home is still a bit of an enigma. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Why do the English pretend to be unhappy all the time?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Why can't they accept they rank about 5th, in everything?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e And what's with all the fudge?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e But this Irishman loves a challenge; he's certainly got the gregarious personality and the sure-fire wit to bring down the barriers of that famous English reserve, and have a good old rummage inside. Swapping anecdotes with his audiences and spending time wandering in their hometowns, this nosy neighbour holds England up to the light while exploring some of the attitudes he brought over here with him too.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e As Dara goes door-to-door in search of England in this part tour diary, part travelogue, the result is an affectionate, hilarious and often eye-opening journey through the Sceptred Isle.","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42366313791659,"sku":"","price":4.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/products\/1_2f8753e1-3a0f-4e33-921b-a77971a88e34.jpg?v=1670502558","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.ie\/products\/tickling-the-english","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
