Originally from Preston, Lancashire Dan Nightingale started his comedy career while living in Newcastle in 2002. After working at The Hyena Comedy Café as a sound man for six months, he finally got on stage.

He moved to Manchester within 12 months he went from barman at the Frog & Bucket, to booking agent, to hosting the new act night and finally compering the weekends.

In June 2004 he turned professional. At that year's Edinburgh festival he performed as part of the Big Value Comedy Show, returning in 2005 as part of a double header with Josie Long.

Dan's a wonderful comic who has everything in his comedic arsenal to achieve anything he wants to.

Saw Dan at Edinburgh Fringe & thought he was hilarious, would be even better with a bigger audience as he loves to get them involved in his act.

Andy Bradbery, August 2008

Saw Dan at the Edinburgh Festival this year and he was brilliant. He combined both hilarious stories and witty one-liners with ease. His audience banter is also second to none. Highly recommended.

Phil O\'Donnell, August 2008

Just seen him compere the Oak in Leeds. Utterly. Hilarious.Only this man can come onstage without any material and still have you crying with laughter. If you get the chance - see him, even if only for 10 minutes onstage.

Saw Dan last night headlining at Dean Clough Halifax. I must say a very talented performer, controlling the room and a great presence. He made it look so easy. Highly recommended.

Dan was first on stage at the Bully in Oxford, performed with very gentle ease on stage, warmed up a tired Sunday evening audience and got lots of giggles in return. Nice and mellow lad!

An absolute superstar... makes compering look as easy as scratching your bum. Seen him about twelfty times and he's still one of my favourite comics on the circuit.

Dan compered our small club in York on March 25 and did a great job of livening the place up as the crowd was fairly quiet. Good interaction with the audience and very funny.
