The UCLAN's Got Talent Final

The Final

The Final is downstairs at 53 degrees, with cabaret style seating in an ambient candlelit atmosphere. The bar offers competitive pricing on quality wines and pitchers of beer and cocktails available to your table.

Our finalists will perform to the audience and a panel of judges, all of which will vote on the night to decide who is crowned UCLAN's Most Talented. All of the finalists will be entered in the national UNI's Got Talent competition.

Compere

Our compere for the evening was Dan Nightgale! Originally from Preston, Lancashire Dan Nightingale started his comedy career while living in Newcastle in 2002. In June 2004 he turned professional. At that year's Edinburgh festival he performed as part of the Big Value Comedy Show, returning in 2005 as part of a double header with Josie Long.

"Though largely unknown in the London comedy industry, Dan Nightingale is easily one of the best comperes in Britain, able to read and manipulate pretty much any audience."

Born and bred locally, our Preston-based compere guided our finalists through the biggest night of their univeristy years (with graduation a possible exception!) as they got up on stage to perform their act to the people of Lancashire.
