'A comedic masterpiece.' Onya Magazine

Hi there, Daniel here, the above paragraph is true, I am coming back to Newcastle in 2026 with a brand-new show. If you haven't already made plans on the 19th September, perhaps I could interest you in a night out at my comedy show? It'll go for about an hour, and be held in a nice venue. I'll do all the talking. All you need to do is sit there and watch, pretty sweet.

Here's the things you'd need to organise on your end:

– Ask a friend or multiple friends if they're keen to see some comedy. (Talk me up if they're on the fence. Not too much though)

– Book ticket/s 

– If needed, organise a babysitter. You're probably looking at 6-7pm. (Or send them for a sleepover if you're getting loose)

– See who wants to grab dinner before/or after the show. (I'd eat before personally, then you can piss on post show)

– See if anyone wants to drive you in? Or get the train/an Uber

– Get to the venue 10mins early

– Sit down

– Phone on silent

– Jacket off. (the rooms can get a bit warm)

– Clap

– Laugh

– Clap

– Leave

– Piss on

– Roll in at 3am the following morning

Prairie Dog is the latest in a long line of Fringe shows that shows off Connell’s hilariousness and in my opinion. It’s one of his best! - Adelaide Hipster
