DAN ANTOPOLOSKI
Dan Antopolski is a funny man. He's also a beardy man. The two are, most likely, unconnected. Dan Antopolski claims to be the Scissors-Paper-Stone Champion of West London. Dan Antopolski likes to think of himself as a giant carrot on a metronome, and of the audience as his hypnotised rabbit brethren. Dan Antopolski can count, he just wanted his show to have '2000' in its title. Dan Antopolski believes that if the French were ever to fight the combined vampire-snail forces, garlic-power would ensure the former's victory. Dan Antopolski begins his new show by questioning whether his lovely audience are responsible for the onstage orange; upon our denial of such responsibility, he finds a button on the orange, and presses it to hear a Mission Impossible -style imperative, emboldening him to do a show which dazzles rather than relaxes into self-congratulatory comedy-whorish arrogance. Dan Antopolski gave me an hour of his Edinburgh Monday, in the first week of the Fringe Festival, to discuss such matters. And peanuts. And the fact that he is also the proud possessor of the right kind of face/beard/haircut combination which allows him to drape blue underpants on his head, and look dashing with it.
Isabelle- ''How did you realise Pants On The Head suited you?''
Dan - ''I was just mucking about with my girlfriend. Just prancing around my bedroom with my pants on my head. Then I stopped in front a mirror and realised 'MY GOD - those pants suit me!'''
