Stand-up show by comedian Dan Tiernan, with three Edinburgh Comedy Award nominations, at the Salisbury Arts Centre.
Dan Tiernan brings his show Quartz and All to Salisbury Arts Centre on Friday 5 February 2027, with the performance starting at 7.30pm. It's a stand-up comedy night, and Tiernan is the sole name on the bill.
If you haven't come across him yet, he's built his reputation on a hat trick of sold-out Edinburgh Festival runs and three Edinburgh Comedy Award nominations: Best Newcomer in 2023, and Best Comedy Show in both 2025 and 2026. He also picked up a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2026, so he's been working both sides of the globe over the last few years. The Guardian called him 'one of comedy's most distinctive new voices', and critics describe his work as 'loud, inventive, visceral'—which gives you a fair idea of the energy he brings to a room.
Beyond the festivals, he's a regular on the TV circuit, with appearances on Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown, The Last Leg and QI. His shows have collected plenty of five-star reviews along the way, so this is a seasoned set rather than a first outing. One thing to keep in mind before you book: the performance may contain nudity, sexual content and strong language, so it's not one for a quiet family night out.

That puts it in context—a high-energy, award-nominated comedian who's as comfortable on a big TV stage as he is in a comedy club. The show runs at Salisbury Arts Centre on Bedwin Street, Salisbury, SP1 3UT, on Friday 5 February at 7.30pm.
