Capital of Culture judge, Sir Jeremy Isaacs was quoted in the news as saying, ‘He helped Liverpool win the bid,’ after seeing Carter’s comic creation and Liverpool cult hero, ‘Nige’ perform at the cultural bid show for the judges. ‘A character comedian of rare skill.’ The Guardian ‘Surely this man will have his own show in a few years time.’ Chortle ‘Give this man a sitcom.’ Edinburgh Evening News (THEY FINALLY HAVE) DAN NIGHTINGALEOne of British Stand-Ups hidden gems; Dan Nightingale is one of the best performers found on the comedy circuit today.

Yet he’s also an inventive writer and a great storyteller and his comedy sets, whether supporting or headlining, are a chance to see the full variety of his superb material and clever stagecraft. And If you really push him he’ll admit to being an excellent swimmer and a near genius in the field of gourmet cheese on toast. damn funny.” Festmag “Exciting and Imaginative” Edinburgh Evening News “A 100mph whirlwind….Brilliant” The Manchester Evening News “Magnetic, entertaining and wonderfully friendly” Three Weeks “Fantastic…He has it in him to be another Kitson or Noble.” Metro “…an engaging performer with a well-developed instinct for funny.” Chortle “easily rivals, if not betters, the ‘big-name’ comedians” Broadway Baby “could be unstoppable”The Independent LAST LAUGH COMEDY WHERE THE PROFESSIONAL COMICS GIG!
