Dan Tiernan

Manchester comic Dan Tiernan is back at it again: and this time he’s got magic rocks in his pocket.

With a hat trick of sold-out Edinburgh Festival runs, Dan's a two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee who has received countless five-star reviews. No wonder the Guardian has named him 'one of comedy’s most distinctive new voices'.

With a set based on being a gay, dyspraxic Mancunian who works in a care home for young asylum seekers, he has previously made the finals of the new act competitions run by the Leicester and Bath comedy festivals, and London’s Leicester Square Theatre.

Dan returns on tour with Quartz and All armed with an amethyst, a bucketful of sage and a rose quartz the size of his impossibly large head.

Winner of BBC New Comedian Of The Year 2022 and winner of British Comedian Of The Year 2022.

As seen on Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown, The Last Leg, and QI.
