ABOUT DAN:


Originally from Preston, Lancashire Dan Nightingale started his comedy career while living in Newcastle in 2002. After working at The Hyena Comedy Café as a sound man for six months, he finally got on stage.


He moved to Manchester within 12 months he went from barman at the Frog & Bucket, to booking agent, to hosting the new act night and finally compering the weekends.

ABOUT THE PODCAST:




If you’re already here then you should know who we are, but for the pubes out there who don’t, let us give you a quick rundown.




Hosted by two professional comedians, Adam Rowe and Dan Nightingale, Have A Word started in the spare room of Dan’s house back in 2020 before moving over to sunny Runcorn where our first studio was built and then-new producer, Sensei Carl, joined soon after.



Since then we’ve moved to our own purpose-built podcast studio in Liverpool, and we always have a selection of live podcast or stand-up shows on offer.
