Dane Baptiste takes stand-up show to Birmingham's Glee Club

This time Dane is tickling the ribs at Birmingham's Glee Club on November 11.

Described as 'original, provocative and exceptionally prolific', the last two years have been non-stop for Dane.

The London-born stand-up made comedy history in 2014 as the first black British act to be nominated for a Fosters Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his debut show Citizen Dane.

And earlier this year he completed his first nationwide tour of his latest critically acclaimed show Reasonable Doubts. He has also created, written and starred in his own sitcom series – Sunny D – for BBC Three and made numerous other TV and radio appearances. His show is all about doubt. Dane's life has changed in the last 12 months; he has achieved things he had previously only ever dreamt about. But now Dane is questioning everything.

Can he be a comedian distinct from the other seven black comics known in the UK? Will he now be considered the go-to guy for any formats that require ethnicity?

He explains that with the advent of reality TV it seems no-one wants a regular career. Everyone wants to be famous. Each generation preaches to the other. No one cares about religion anymore, we all worship technology. He has doubts about where we are going as a civilization. Who knows or even cares about politics today? Dane doubts if he'll ever have a successful relationship. People live a lot longer - and it was easy to be faithful if you were at sea for three months at a time.
