Danny Deegan is a Manchester stand-up comedian, actor and writer who has been a fixture of the northern comedy circuit since making his debut in 2003. His act is built on anecdotal storytelling, tales of mischief and the characters he has picked up along the way, delivered with an easy confidence that Chortle has described as "mature" well beyond his years on stage. That skill for engaging even tough rooms has made him a regular headliner and MC at major clubs including The Stand, The Frog and Bucket, The Glee and Off The Kerb.
He has provided tour support for Chris Ramsey, Mick Foley, Paul Sinha and Dave Spikey, and has taken his stand-up to festival crowds at Green Man, Kendal Calling and Download, including a wrap performance for The Doves in front of more than 12,000 people. On screen and radio he has appeared on Stand Up Britain, Made in the North, One Season and The Basement, and hosted his own show, Afternoons with Danny Deegan, on CAT FM. Metro has called him "charming, witty and most importantly funny," while BSH Magazine praised his "blisteringly funny comedy."
Danny's mix of festival-tested crowd work and headline club experience makes him a dependable booking for corporate events, club nights and outdoor festival stages alike. He is as comfortable holding a boisterous 12,000-strong festival crowd as he is running a club room, and his storytelling style travels well across different audiences and occasions. Warm, quick-witted and road-tested, he is the kind of act that keeps a room on side from the first anecdote to the last.
