Dan Tiernan is back at it again – and this time he’s got magic rocks in his pocket. 

With a hat trick of sold-out Edinburgh shows under his belt, Dan is a double-Edinburgh award nominee who has received countless five star reviews. There’s no wonder The Guardian has named him “One of Comedy's Most Distinctive New Voices”. 

Dan returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival armed with an amethyst, a bucket full of sage and a rose quartz the size of his impossibly large head. And if that isn't otherworldly enough, he'll be delivering his most ambitious hour of stand-up to date. 

As seen on Live at the Apollo, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Count Down, The Last Leg, QI, Just for Laughs New Faces and Mitchell and Webb are Not Helping.
