“A bone-dry Norwegian with a more-than-agreeable line in weird observations. Some nicely quirky writing” Chortle website

“Deadpan routines about social awkwardness have made him popular… One to watch.” Spoonfed website

“Daniel Simonsen’s sublimely subversive comedy operates on the edge of a unique, neurotic Scandinavian reserve - you’re never quite sure how much is a genuine foreign naivety and how much is cleverly feigned, although judging by the skill with which he deploys most of his quiet, nervous, backhanded jokes, it’s probably the latter.” Three Weeks

“Simonsen is a Norwegian comic with an impressive grasp of whimsy” The Guardian

“Brilliant newcomer” Time Out

MC - Robin Banks

“Though primarily known as the compere at the Comedy Pit venues he runs in South London, Banks also performs his own act in the guise of a rough diamond ex-con. However, he shuns the expected tough-guy shtick in favour of some airy-fairy surrealism… The discrepancy between image and material produces its fair share of laughs” Chortle website
