Dan Nightingale
One
of stand-up’s brightest stars. A natural performer, a brilliant compere and one of the most exciting
acts in comedy; Dan mixes cutting
observation and raucous gags with high energy
audience work and a natural playfulness, engaging any crowd. Original, creative and
totally un-predictable.
Within four months of his first ever gig Preston-born Dan had reached the semi
finals of three national new comedy competitions. Manchester was calling, and
toward the end of 2002 Dan began building his reputation in the North West and
began his love affair with the Frog & Bucket, where within 12 months he
went from barman, to booking agent, to hosting the new act night and finally
compering the weekends.
In June 2004 he turned professional, having fully established himself on the
Northern comedy circuit, playing all the major clubs from Liverpool up to the
North East. Twelve months down the line he's performed in Dubai and his gig
list now covers the south of England, with regular gigs in Brighton, Bristol
and the Midlands. In 2005 he performed at the Edinburgh Festival as part of a
double header with the award winning Josie Long.
