Danny Wallace

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

He began his career writing for Dead Ringers and The Mighty Boosh. Danny shot to fame when he challenged fellow comedian and roommate Dave Gorman to find 54 people with the same name. The award-winning stage show ‘Are you Dave Gorman?’ was followed by a book and a BBC series.

An accomplished author, Danny has published stories about quirky 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 made the decision to say yes to everything he was offered, including things he would normally have rejected. This experiment inspired a film starring Hollywood star Jim Carrey.

This English author has also written about other social experiments, including his journey to the center of the universe, his attempts to reconnect with school friends, and how to navigate modern dilemmas. As a comic novelist, he has written two: ‘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 examined 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 compared the similarities between chimpanzees and human beings. Other TV appearances include ‘Test the Nation,’ a TV program he co-hosted with Anne Robinson, and various shows on BBC 6Music, Absolute Radio, and Xfm.

Our event host and comedian has acted in the IT Crowd and won a Bafta for his work narrating Assassin’s Creed. Additionally, 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 enthusiast, he had the honor of hosting the Bafta Games in 2017.
