Absolutely hilarious! Went along to see Daniel Downie after seeing him perform at the Fringe on a whim in 2021 and again he did not disappoint. You can’t help but laugh your head off at his cynical sense of humour and commanding presence in the room, I enjoyed every minute of his show and hope to one day attend one of his walking tours when I am next in Edinburgh (sadly didn’t have time this year). A must-see show do not miss!

Clever, a bit venomous, left me in tears. A bit less history than I might have liked, but there was definitely some there and it was spot on. One of my favorite shows.

Daniel’s infectious on-stage energy makes every punchline land extra hard. This is a delightfully cynical hour about Scotland that everyone should have on their list!

Great show! Don't normally take the time to review a performer, but thought I'd do this with Daniel - even though he slagged Dundee :P Type of guy you'd love to have a pint with. Well worth going to see!

Loved Daniel's show today...went along on a whim, taking a punt from the website listings, and so glad we did, it was a real highlight of the day and had me proper belly laughing! Warm and friendly audience interactions, natural charm and clever punchlines. A scot doing what scots do best; self-deprecation blended with national pride! Definitely recommend you go see this show or look out for one of his Mountebank Scotland comedy walking tours around the city!
