2014 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

International festival comedian, circuit legend and Lancastrian socialite, Dan Nightingale returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with a brand new hour of stand up.

In his new show, Dan charts his past year in love and life and his family's ups and downs through illness and old age. He questions his own atheism, discusses accidental racism and has an incident with an overweight squirrel in Chelsea. There's a definite possibility that he's a bit of a dick, but who cares when he's this funny with it?

Fresh from a critically acclaimed run of this show at the New Zealand Comedy Festival, a triumphant return to the Preston Playhouse for a 'Hometown Hero' one man show and an appearance on Sky 1's John Bishop's Only Joking, Dan Nightingale is back at the Fringe with his best show to date.

Dan is widely regarded as one of the best performers working on the comedy circuit today. Mixing fiendishly accurate observation with energetic characterisations and killer punch lines his comedy is original, playful, intelligent, poignant and exciting; sometimes ridiculous... but always hilarious.

Dan is a regular headliner at the Glees, the Stands and the Frog and Bucket in Manchester, as well as other leading clubs all over the UK, Europe and the Middle East. He has been performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on and off since 2004, gathering a plethora of 4 and 5 star reviews. As well as developing his reputation as a top-class circuit headliner and in-demand MC and host, he has also done regular TV warm up for the likes of Jonathan Ross, John Bishop and Celebrity Juice. His new comedy Podcast Dan Nightingale's In The House is available on iTunes.
