Hello and welcome to Outta Lunch, the podcast where famous types eat with them out open,

so they can answer my probing questions.

Today, I chat to a comedian, writer and TV presenter who's often out of this world.

Not only has he shared more the week for 15 years and toured the globe with this stand-up

show, he's also presented TV comedy series based around science and maths, conducted a series

of interviews with the late Stephen Hawking and fronted stargazing live with Professor

Brian Cox.

That's the out of this world bit.

I spoke to him down the line from his home on the moon, or West London, one of the other.

It is of course the glorious Dara Obrian.

The best time to write is two glasses of wine in and then there's a small window of it

being you being very funny, putting on glasses three and four and then glasses five and

six are you sitting back going?

God, I was very funny.

There's three for you back in glasses three and four.

Hello, Dara.

It is a delight to spend some time with you.

We've crossed over in a number of places and I think have exchanged about ten words in

our last week.

Yes, we have, but always warm.

Always warm.

That was the key thing.
