The Edinburgh interviews 2017: Dan Antopolski

With a show entitled Return of Dan Antopolski, it might not surprise punters to hear that Dan Antopolski hasn't been seen at the Edinburgh Festival for a while. In fact, it's been seven years since Dan's last show. And seeing as he was once nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Show in the same year, Antopolski's return to Edinburgh is certainly going to turn a few heads. He is performing at Assembly George Square Studios throughout August.

On late-night Radio 4 is a new sketch show from comedians Dan Antopolski, Tom Craine and Nat Luurtsema.

Jigsaw's most notable characteristic - if indeed it is such a thing - is their brevity. Most of the sketches are very short, which given the fact the show is only 15 minutes long is a sensible move. The average length of the sketches appeared to be around a minute.

With such a format, it's key to try and makes the sketches hit the mark as often as possible; in this first episode most of the sketches didn't quite hit the mark, but when they did they really flied. My personal favourites was just one sketch in, when a couple are having sex; the women then gives her partner some strawberries, unaware of his allergy to them. I also quite liked the technology sketch with music about the "Bandwidth Bandito".

It's hard to sum up such a short show, but there are some gems hidden within this shower of sketches. I';l certainly be tuning in next week.

Radio 4 wants a piece of Jigsaw

Jigsaw were hoping to adapt material from their 2011 and 2012 Edinburgh Fringe performances, but Dan Antopolski adds: "To our horror, we've discovered that a high proportion doesn't translate to audio. The funniness is in seeing the victim."
