Comedian Dara Ó Briain will make his return to the Live at the Marquee stage in June, Aiken Promotions has confirmed.

On TV he is also known for hosting programmes such as Mock The Week, Robot Wars, Dara and Ed’s Great Big Adventure, Dara Ó Briain’s Science Club, and the documentary Dara Ó Briain Meets Stephen Hawking, on BBC Television, as well as Channel 4’s Taskmaster.
