Fans of Dara O Briain can see the stand-up comedian live in action as part of a London hotel break in September.

The Irish comic - who is perhaps best-known for presenting BBC topical panel show Mock the Week - is performing an extended residency at the Hammersmith Apollo.

He will perform nine nights at the venue, from September 16th to 25th 2010.

As well as being a successful television presenter, O Briain has won acclaim for his stand-up show, of which the London Evening Standard said: "If you don't laugh at O Briain check your pulse - you must be dead."

Comedy lovers who want to go along to the Hammersmith Apollo to see O Briain - who also has a sports column in the Guardian - can book a London hotel holiday to coincide with the run of shows.

London hotels located close to the venue include the Grange Strathmore Hotel, which is also near the Victoria and Albert Museum.
