Watch Live at the Apollo comedian Spring Kathryn Day prove that the truth is not only stranger than fiction, it's a lot funnier too. My Name is Spring Day and Other Stupid Facts is a stand up comedy show full of joke-heavy stories and loads of stupid (light, dark and rude) facts about: life, culture, love, death, family, money, and identity in apocalyptic times. If you’re the kind of person that kicks back and relaxes to a harrowing Netflix documentary series or murder podcast before bed, you should probably talk to a psychologist about that as well as watch My Name is Spring Day and Other Stupid Facts. ‘A joke heavy storytelling show… It would make a very good movie’ -★★★★ On the Mic 2024 'A sharp set with great punchlines... It's ' -★★★★ Reviews Hub 2024 'Wow, does Spring Day have an amazing story to tell' -★★★★ Beyond The Joke 2024

Fresh off winning the prestigious **Silver Stand-Up Award** at the Leicester Comedy Festival, and twice reaching the semi-finals of British Comedian of the Year, Daniel is stepping back up to the microphone with a brand-new hour of razor-sharp wit and exquisite storytelling. *Jockanory* (a playful nod to his Scottish heritage and the classic storytelling format) sees Daniel at his absolute best.
