Ahead of Friday's live show, comedian Danny O'Brien joined us to offer some of his own disaster stories from the stage and his tips for putting it all into perspective, like reminding yourself no matter how bad it went 'nobody died'. He told us about performing in the Ringsend flats and the community spirit he felt there, even after the event got broken up by the Guards. He also spoke about his work in addiction services and why its so personal to him, as well as sharing some gas tales from the workshops he does in prisons and schools.
