33 Years Single is a sad inditement, or is it?  What makes it seem unbelievable is that Daniel Delby comes across as a bit of a charmer, a cheeky chappy, a bit of a ladies man, so where’s the red flag?  What’s the ick that keeps this Aussie bloke free and single? Do we all need to be paired up?  It’s all under the microscope in this stand-up (sit-down) 60 minute show.

His experiences to date give him more than enough material to use in a show all about relationships, love, rejection and freestyle rap.  Whats not to love?  He did find love at the tender age of 33 but sadly it was not meant to be.  There’s great crowd work and involvement, Delby knows how to work the room.  Subtle innuendos, flirty banter and witty stories make this whole show very enjoyable and entertaining.

His talent for gathering fun facts and creating hilarious free-style rap songs is a gift that keeps on giving.  Very quick-witted, clever humour that pokes fun at participants but is also a very funny, integral part of the show.  A hidden gem at this years Fringe in a cracking wee venue.
