Dan Willis

Very few things that are this good are offered for nothing. Willis turns a potentially difficult venue to his advantage, ad-libbing off his audience and displaying obvious ease behind the microphone as people from the pub downstairs wander in and out. His set material doesn’t always match the brilliance of his crowd chat, but Willis’ sharp wit and comic timing ensure that it never fails to entertain. (Cate Simpson)
