With a laid
back "everyman" manner Dan Evans specialises in a brand of clever wordplay and
corny one-liners. But his pleasant demeanour often covers a darker side as
seemingly harmless subjects are given a sudden twist for the sick or macarbre.
It's done to great effect, with comic timing that you could set your watch
by, and it's a joy to experience an entire audience suddenly "click" as they
realise the degraded path they have been led down.
It's safe to say that Evans is not a completely disturbed individual, just
slightly, as much of the material favours the corny over the sick. Many of
the lines would meet with groans-a-plenty if you were to try them out on your
friends or colleagues, but with his confidence and quickfire delivery, along
with the aforementioned impeccable timing, the gags are taken to another level
and the audience can't get enough of it!
