"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

The Observer

"One of britains genuine comedy pin-ups." The Scotsman

"You're unlikely to see a slicker, more self-assured performer than Dan

Dan was last seen (on stage) in Paris in 2005 and was the penultimate act to appear at the Hotel du Nord
(the closing honors went to Tom Rhodes) our paths crossed in Edinburgh last summer
(see video diary below) he said he wanted to come back and said the sooner the better.
Great guy and an excellent comedian -
another true original and one of that rare breed of stand-ups who have played Jesus,
a role he covered in the Da Vinci Code.
