About this show
Nearly 50% of men (but only 20% of women) surveyed were "confident" they could land a plane, without training. If you've daydreamed hero scenarios, if you love (or loathe) travel, or if you've ever spent time with a man before, then don't miss Dan Boerman's brand-new, high-energy stand-up show. Direct from touring New Zealand, and featured on Comedy Central UK and BBC, this is a show like nothing you've seen before. 'A hero' (Jimmy Carr, this is a real quote). 2025 Malcolm Hardee 'Cunning Stunt' award nominee.

It’s a simple idea, executed well, with huge possibilities for expansion, and Boerman, the captain of mirth in the cockpit, has created something wonderful. So forget flicking through the travel brochure.
