BIO:
Danny
is originally from Florida but spent much of his youth in San Jose, CA.
It was in San Jose that he joined the Speech and Debate team as a high school
student and found a niche for telling stories and giving his humorous interpretation
of the things that were going on around him. His cynical take on world issues
and his ability to present his opinions in a comedic style drew that attention
of his teacher, who pushed him to continue on this path.
After high school, his family moved back to Florida, but Danny was tired
of his parents’ discipline, so he decided to join the Army Airborne Infantry.
Upon realizing that his parents’ discipline really wasn’t all that bad,
he received an honorable discharge and moved back to Tampa with his family.
He enrolled at the University of South Florida where the experiment of being
a student lasted three semesters before he became a flight attendant for
a major airline. When he got tired of handing out peanuts, he decided it
was time to pursue a more stable career: Stand-Up Comedy.
His tale is a familiar one: beginning as an open-miker, becoming house
emcee, waiting tables during the day to make ends meet. The craft of good
comedy became the most important thing in Danny’s life and he went on the
road for extended periods of time working his way up the comedy food chain.
His peers and the comedy industry took immediate notice of his sharp wit
and innovative performance style. In 1997, he made his first trip to LA
where he was a guest on NBC’s “The Leeza Show” and also appeared on MTV’s
“The Jenny McCarthy Show.” In 1998, he hooked up with Andrew “Dice” Clay
to become the opening act on his 14 city tour. In 1999, Danny performed at
the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, and in 2000, Danny took first place
in the prestigious San Francisco Comedy Competition. He is currently headlining
at comedy clubs from coast to coast.
