About the show

Dan Nightingale – Stands Up (Work In Progress) Another brilliant hour of stand-up from the host of the massive Have A Word Podcast. Getting ready for his Autumn Tour, Dan combines story telling and observations with his usual high energy mayhem.


Andrew Bird – On Edge (Work In Progress) Andrew is always worried or stressed about something. From global events to finding free parking. From a wife hitting the perimenopause combined with two teenage kids, to hanging a wine-rack. How can he not be “on edge”?

Featuring

Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird appearing at this event

Watching The Young Ones with his brothers as an eight year old, at two in the morning on Comic Relief, he realised then that he wanted to be funny in some way. Relaxed and improvisatory, Andrew Bird is one of those rare comedians who makes friends with his audiences in an instant with his engaging mix of childhood stories and more recent anecdotes.

He has supported Rhod Gilbert, Lee Hurst and Michael McIntyre as well as performing internationally.
