Winner of the Dave Award for the Funniest Joke at the Fringe 2009 and triple Perrier Award nominee DAN ANTOPOLSKI will tour his acclaimed sixth solo Edinburgh show Silent but Deadly in 2010.

Dan Antopolski returns after a highly successful Fringe which saw him gain numerous rave reviews and win the Funniest Joke at the Fringe with his joke ‘Hedgehogs. Why can’t they just share the hedge?’

Dan starred as Jeffers in two series of cult sci-fi spoof Hyperdrive (BBC 2). His other TV credits include The Stand-Up Show (BBC One), The Live Floor Show (BBC Two), The Perrier Awards (Channel 4), Harry Hill’s TV Burp (ITV) and The World Comedy Series (Paramount Comedy channel/Comedy Central).

We’ve all been kids and some of us father them - if you trust the blood-test guy; he was smoking in a lab and his English was poor? but whatever. Wouldn’t it be amazing if someone who wasn’t a bell-end was prepared to talk about parenthood?

Dream on, suckers. Bell-end Dan Antopolski adds his meditations on the noble estate of fathership to this festival of dreams... Farts funny? Check. Death funny? Check. Let’s gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Let’s goo.

His writing is as inventive as ever… Antopolski is not merely deadpan, but almost otherworldly on stage. It’s the perfect platform for his sometimes surreal, often deliberately literal approach to life.

James Kettle, The Guardian 2009

Spectacular displays of verbal pyrotechnics… A confident, splendidly silly and sometimes dazzling show.

Stephanie Merritt, The Observer 2009

A rock-solid hour with punchlines galore. *****

Paul Fleckney, London Is Funny 2009

Stunningly funny. ****

Jay Richardson, Chortle 2009

Superb entertainment… This indisputably gifted comic is ideal viewing for anybody with a sense of humour who can laugh until it hurts. ****

Miles Morgan, Three Weeks 2009

A battery of fine gags honed to shiny perfection. ****

Brian Donaldson, The List 2009

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. ****
