Dan’s back and in cracking form. His
material is fresh, funny and delivered at a hectic pace.
Unpredictability and the trademark gaze keep the audience engrossed.
He flits from topic to topic without
wasting time on contrived links. One minute he can be describing the
detailed categorisation of porn videos, the next he can be having an
imaginary conversation with a randy worm with a Spanish accent.
He is also launching himself as rap
performer. His style of rap I really enjoyed because I could make
out the words. The sandwich one was my particular favourite.
He does take one big risk in his show. He
talks about the two daughters he has fathered in the past three
years. As he admits himself, talking about your own children can be
really boring, but, if you are an observational comedian, why ignore
such wonderful and hilarious material.
With his return he will give pleasure to
those who enjoyed his shows in previous years, and also attract a
new generation to his brand of comedy.
