Dan Antopoloski

What Dan Antopoloski hasn’t won or been nominated for isn’t worth winning in comedy. In other words he’s master of the art.  An multi-award wining act, superbly talented and widely and critically acclaimed and it must be said not only very good looking but a really nice and genuine  guy too! We hate him. Audiences love him and his surreal and appealing comic mind, coupled with a mastery of the English language, is dazzling audiences across the UK and Internationally.

PRAISE/ REVIEWS (this list is so long we’re only showing you a small section of it!)

·      “Spectacular displays of verbal pyrotechnics … A confident, splendidly silly and sometimes dazzling show.”
Stephanie Merritt, THE OBSERVER
·      “He is one of the funniest and hardest-working comedians out there. His material is edgy without going too far, his routines are complex and assured, he’s likeable … and has some of the best gags I’ve heard.”
Matt Brereton, THE SCOTSMAN
·      “The man’s charms (and they are considerable) lie in his combination of old-fashioned and new styles: he makes entirely plausible jokes in a surrealistic, laddish vein only to undermine them later and take them on to unexpected levels. Antopolski has a neat turn of phrase and a nicely-skewed comedy vision which, while keeping him one step beyond the best of the mainstream, also provide him with oddly seductive powers over his audience.”
Hettie Judah, THE TIMES
·      “Unforgettable stage presence … intricately clever observation … A comedian who will never relax into formulaic gags to satisfy his audience.”
Rachel Halliburton, EVENING STANDARD
·      “He’s plummy but crass, cerebral but goofy and the sparks of genius fly off him like a Catherine wheel.”
Nadine McBay, METRO
·      “An intriguing hour of intellect-tickling comedy … Disarmingly improvisational … unashamedly educated … the resultant laughs are lacquered with a growing admiration for his innovation, beat-for-beat timing and prophetic puppet-mastery of the crowd.”
Graeme Virtue, SUNDAY HERALD
·      “I couldn’t help but be impressed. Dozens and dozens of well-honed jokes … I felt like I was watching someone who’d fully matured as a performer.”
Paul MacInnes, THE GUARDIAN
