Dan Antopolski, headline act

'After adventures elsewhere, I am doing standup again, for love and of course, for money. I am often good at it due to material, performance, face and finally limbs which express sorrow while I smile. These are both real and the effect is really something. As always I am pitting fear against inertia by believing I will do an Edinburgh show in 2023 and so far this is creating NEW STUFF in the familiar way. I like the new stuff, it is different to the old stuff except if you're not me in which case I guess it is the same. Such is art.'

"Spectacular displays of verbal pyrotechnics ... A confident, splendidly silly and sometimes dazzling show."
 - Stephanie Merritt, THE OBSERVER
