Before the entry of
Dan Atkinson to the arena there is a brief AV detailing his
life from birth to date which roughly corresponds from the Thatcher
era to date.
Atkinson commences this the usual banter
with the audience and majors on conversations with a mature student
and a Spanish engineer before getting on with his set.
Due to Uni loans and a London move Dan was
very affected by the credit crunch and had to move out of his house.
The subsequent search for new accommodation via a number of methods
is a solid source of material for this young Yorkshire man.
Having opinions about various universities
and their admission policy, raves, West country girls computer games
and drinking buddies also provide mileage for this rather funny man
to exploit.
This was the first time I had seen him do
a full show, previously only seen 20 minutes ,but I was impressed at
his progression.
What out for this name because I’d be
surprised if he was not packing out larger spaces in the near
future.
