Hi Dan. Who are you and what do you do in comedy?
I LOVE writing gags and sketches for shows such as Newsjack, the News Quiz and Breaking the News
I produce independent, original, talent led content in podcast form
I offer kick-ass script notes
Tell us about how you first became involved in the comedy world.
In 2014 I got my first gag read out on Newsjack and the wall of laughter that came with it meant I was hooked!
Tell us about your comedy favourites.
Nathan Barley - timelessly good
Always Sunny in Philadelphia - effortlessly brilliant
The US Office - bloomed into something amazing
The comedy industry is competitive. Why should people pick you to work with?
As Gary Delaney once said...hard work and a modicum of talent.
What's the best advice you've ever been given, read or heard?
The secret to comedy is......confounding expectations in a way that makes sense. (Timing is also useful).
Where would you like to be in 10 years' time?
9 years older.
If you ever get free time, how do you spend it?
Free...time?
If a genie offered you one wish, what would you ask for?
Unlimited genies.
