Daniel is also a celebrated scripted character comedian. 'As strong as debuts come', Fest said of his first solo Edinburgh Fringe hour Honey, which enjoyed an acclaimed run at The Pleasance in 2016, after a ‘Best Comedy’ award-nominated run at Perth Fringe World. Kate Copstick had branded Daniel's debut half-hour Asp, 'Sheer genius… one to watch most definitely' in The Scotsman the previous year.
He returned in 2017 with his sophomore solo Edinburgh Fringe show The Causeway, which gained Daniel his second successive nomination for 'Best Comedy' when it premiered at Fringe World earlier in the year.

Jordan Brookes

Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Show 2017 nominee

Critically acclaimed and adored by his peers, Jordan is riding high. There’s been so much buzz about him. I’ve heard he does absurd stuff on stage? Yeah sort of, but it’s also very accessible. Apparently, he’s a really nice guy in real life too. Yeah he is. Very charming. Yes, very charming. Got a lot of time for him. Shall we give him a go then? Oh, absolutely not.

An act unlike any other, he is the current master of absurd comedy, but with a big heart, a vulnerable brain and searing, hilarious honesty.

"Wildly entertaining stand-up that demolishes the conventions of comedy." The Guardian

“A breath-taking, hugely original comic.” ★★★★★ Fest Mag

“Caustically funny and surprising… you’re advised to see Brookes fast before word of mouth fills every seat.” ★★★★ The Scotsman
“Highly inventive, a compelling performer, who doesn’t sacrifice laughs for the sake of artistic stretch.” ★★★★ Chortle
