Dan Atkinson

Your Compere: July 1st, July 15th and July 22nd

'Dan Atkinson, a man with a mission. Tickets for his comedy night are becoming the most sought after in York' - BBCi

For the past two years, Dan has been performing stand-up in and around Britain, but since discovering there's not much call for comedy in the North Sea, he concentrated on performing solely in Britain.

He is fast developing a reputation for his faux book reviews, dynamic compering and unsurpassed grasp of the English langwidge.

Having gigged up and down the country, Dan has settled in York, where he is the resident compere at The Other Side Comedy Club. He was also the face of the celebrated 'Strung Out' competition in 2002.

An experienced and frankly over-enthusiastic MC, Dan also performs his Book Reviews, praised for their wit and originality in a world tiring of the nob gag.
