Dan Bain: A Trilogy
In a feat of either sheer bravado or blatant stupidity, comedian Dan Bain will perform all three of his standup comedy hours back to back in one evening.
Dan Bain has three different hours of comedy and would like more people to be able to see them, so he's going to film them all and would love you to be there. Also, because he's a ridiculous person, he's going to try do all three back-to-back in one evening. Ōtautahi's award-winning comedian Dan Bain is spiralling into a hilarious existential crisis as he begins to wonder if his lack of popularity is due to an unshakable truth—perhaps he's just unlikeable.
In this one-hour exploration of hyper-articulate overthinking, Bain attempts the impossible: to fundamentally change who he is and become instantly famous. Will he succeed? (Spoiler alert: probably not). Over the pandemic, Dan Bain went from being one of Ōtautahi’s most prestigious and respected artists to being a call-centre operator, unable to leave the house without his ‘anxiety knife’. This is an hour of standup comedy mostly about that. Comedian and playwright Dan Bain performs an hour of comedy that is pretty much the same three jokes over and over again, in what is either a daring deconstruction of the comedic form or a blimmin' stupid idea.
To be clear, in what is either a daring deconstruction of the comedic form or a blimmin' stupid idea, comedian and playwright Dan Bain performs an hour of comedy that is pretty much the same three jokes over and over again. So, over and over again, comedian and playwright Dan Bain, performs pretty much the same three jokes. Whether a daring deconstruction of the comedic form, or a blimmin' stupid idea, it's an hour of comedy.
