Tim talks to one of the biggest, most exciting new faces in stand-up comedy, Dan Tiernan. Dan exploded on to the stage in 2022 when he won BBC New Comedian Of The Year, British New Comedian Of The Year, and following that up by winning Best Newcomer Of The Year at Edinburgh in 2023. Dan tells Tim about his journey from being bullied at school, trying his (very sore) hand at magic before finding his natural home in stand-up comedy.
