Danny Wallace

Defined as a modern Renaissance man, Danny Wallace is a British event host, author, radio and TV presenter. Also an actor, columnist, and screenwriter, Danny started and led his own ‘cult’ movement.

He began his career as a writer by crafting pieces for Dead Ringers and The Mighty Boosh. Danny catapulted to fame when he challenged fellow comedian and flatmate Dave Gorman to find 54 people with the same name. This led to the award-winning stage show ‘Are you Dave Gorman?’, followed by a book and a BBC series.

An accomplished author, Danny has published stories about madcap personal experiments and novels. In his book ‘Join Me’, he started a movement called ‘Good Fridays’ that encourages readers to perform an act of kindness every Friday. In ‘Yes Man’, Danny decided to say yes to everything he was offered, including things he would normally have declined. This experiment inspired a film starring Hollywood star Jim Carrey.

This English author has also written about other social experiments such as his journey to the center of the universe, his attempts to reconnect with school friends, and how to face modern dilemmas. As a comic novelist, he has penned two books: ‘Charlotte Street’ and ‘Who Is Tom Ditto’?

Our event host and comedian has also shared his curious experiments with the world on TV. He once started his own country and analyzed what a country is on ‘How to Start Your Own Country’. Danny also hosted BBC One’s ‘He’s Having a Baby’, ‘Castaway’, ‘Danny Wallace’s Hoax Files’, and an episode of ‘Horizon’, where he examined the similarities between chimpanzees and human beings. Other TV appearances include ‘Test the Nation’, a show he co-hosted with Anne Robinson, and various programs on BBC 6Music, Absolute Radio, and Xfm.

Our event host and comedian has also acted in the IT Crowd and won a Bafta for his work narrating Assassin’s Creed. In addition, he writes an award-winning weekly column called ‘Danny Wallace is a Man’.

Eloquent and quick-witted, he’s also a very popular award ceremony host and after-dinner speaker. A video game aficionado, he had the privilege of hosting the Bafta Games in 2017.
