She performs across the country at some of the UK’s best comedy clubs, festivals and live events, building a reputation as a high energy, warm and instantly engaging act. Dani is a highly sought after MC, where her natural charisma and quick thinking win over audiences from the moment she steps on stage.
Her comedy is best described as relatable chaos. With an energetic storytelling style and a tendency towards chronic oversharing, Dani finds the funny in everyday life, social awkwardness and the things we probably shouldn’t admit out loud… but absolutely recognise.
She has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe with her solo show Cringe, as well as appearing as part of the Best in Class showcase and the Dumbelles split show alongside Jessie Nixon and Millie Malone.
