InstallerSHOW 2025 is set to welcome a very special guest this summer as comedian, broadcaster, and science advocate Dara Ó Briain joins the line-up for an exclusive fireside chat live at the NEC Birmingham.

Taking place from 24–26 June 2025, InstallerSHOW is the UK’s biggest event for the installation and specification sectors, attracting more than 30,000 industry professionals and featuring over 800 exhibitors across three packed days.

Dara Ó Briain, known for his sharp wit and passion for science and technology, will take to the stage for a lively and insightful conversation that reflects his multifaceted career – from stand-up comedy and television presenting to championing STEM subjects and communicating complex scientific ideas with humour and clarity.

Best known for hosting the long-running BBC panel show Mock the Week, as well as Stargazing Live, Dara Ó Briain’s Science Club, and The Apprentice: You’re Fired, Dara brings a unique perspective to the InstallerSHOW audience. His appearance will combine behind-the-scenes stories from his career with reflections on science, technology, and the changing world around us – all delivered in his trademark style.

“We’re thrilled to have Dara join us at InstallerSHOW 2025,” said Michael Costain, Managing Director at Lyrical Communications. “His ability to blend entertainment with insight makes him the perfect guest for our fireside chat format – and a great addition to what is already shaping up to be our biggest and most exciting show yet.”

The fireside chat with Dara Ó Briain will be part of InstallerSHOW’s expanded live content programme, which spans multiple theatres and covers a wide range of topics relevant to professionals working across the built environment. From sustainability and smart technology to innovation and design, the event offers something for every corner of the industry.

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, InstallerSHOW continues to grow as a vital platform for showcasing the latest product innovations, sharing knowledge, and fostering meaningful connections. The 2025 event will feature new zones including InstallerBUILD, InstallerELECTRIC and The HAUS – a full scale house build inside the show, as well as the return of popular features like InstallerTRADES and Installer Kitchens & Bathrooms.
