DAN NIGHTINGALE
Dan Nightingale worked his way through university as the sound man at a comedy club but being actually on the stage looked like so much more fun..
Fortunately, Dan turned out to be a natural performer and a brilliant compere. Dan mixes cutting observation and raucous gags with high energy audience work and a natural playfulness that engages any crowd. Original, creative and totally unpredictable.
Dan was voted ‘Best MC’ in the 2015 UK Comedy Awards by fellow comedians, bookers and promoters
