PODDING ALONG WITH THE THERAPEUTIC POET

I was recently invited on a podcast to discuss my latest Fringe show

After catching my show in Edinburgh, I was invited by poet and therapist Jackie Power onto her excellent podcast 'The Therapeutic Poet', where we discussed struggling to conceive, IVF, loss, and what it's like to turn those painful experiences into a comedy show.

A RETURN TO THE FRINGES..... A NEW SHOW

I'm on my way back to Edinburgh with a new show in tow

After an enforced injury-based/whole world shut-down absence from the fringe, I will be returning to Edinburgh this year with my new show 'Patience : Zero'. Somewhere between stand-up and theatre, this show is heart-tugging, funny (hopefully) show about the struggles of becoming a parent

I'M ON RADIO 4, DON'T YOU KNOW

Myself and Alexander Bennett are appearing on Lemn Sissay's show

The weird and wonderful world of 'Dan vs Food' keeps on feeding us, now with an appearance on Radio 4.  We were asked to appear on 'Lemn Sissay's Social Enterprise' to discuss the show, why we did it, and why we chose to raise money for Fareshare.

Dan’s always wanted to be a father. But now he and his wife are going through constant loss and IVF, he starts to ask the question: is he good enough? But in a year with a serious accident, and a letter warning of impending death, he begins to wonder – is the universe telling him no? It’s a comedy. Somewhere between stand-up and theatre, this show explores how far you will go for family.
