Hi I'm Dan

I've had material broadcast on BBC7's Play & Record (November 2007), Angel Eye Media's Grrr broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland (April 2008), BBC7's Tilt (2008), series 4 of Radio 4's Recorded For Training Purposes (2010) and all five series and the 'Best of 2011' review show of Newsjack (BBC Radio 7, 2009-2011, Radio 4 Extra 2011) for which I was invited in to write with the team. This has led to being invited to write for other BBC Radio Shows. I have material in Rough Cuts, an audio podcast from The Comedy Unit.

I am part of the writing team for stage-based sketch show Teak Show's Twisted Sketches and helped put together the sketch show Sketchaholics. Material has been performed on-stage by Mssrs Comedy. I won the sketch competition run by Stephens & Brooks' comedy residency at the Ritzy Picturehouse in Brixton, in both October and November 2010, and this has led to me writing material for their 2011 Edinburgh Show. Sketches have been performed at Radio Rejects in London: Moon Landings, Sex, Drugs & Rock , Morally Bankrupt , Mafia Redundancies.

Material has been shortlisted for BBC Radio 4's Recorded For Training Purposes (series 3) and also stage sketch-shows The Works (November 2009) and Mssrs Comedy (August 2010)

A 10-minute sitcom script, Departures, was performed on stage at 'Script Night: Harvest Festival' in Leeds in October 2008. I'm developing this into a 15-minute radio script.

A sitcom, Outgoings, was in the final 32 (from 500) selected sitcoms to progress in 'The Sitcom Mission 2010'. Another, 5-minute, Christmas-based episode of Outgoings was shortlisted in the Top 20 for Tin Can Podcast's '12 Plays Of Xmas' competition in 2010 before being selected for performance in the final of The Sitcom Trials 2011 in Manchester.

I have sold original material to 118118's joke service.

The Sam & Dave Show (Soundart Radio) have produced and broadcast one of my sketches on air. They also animated a sketch and used it at their live show at the Hull Comedy Festival 2009.

I had a sitcom optioned by Ebuco, a Belgian Production Company, who pitched to French TV.

But most prestigiously of all, I won the British Comedy Guide's 'Sketch of the Year' 2008,as voted for by my peers even if it is, apparently, 'bollocks'. This is the sketch that The Sam & Dave Show recorded and subsequently animated above.

Currently developing previously mentioned sitcom Outgoings for radio and writing a 'humourous' blog about getting married for a prestigious male-oriented wedding website, Staggered.com.

I also wrote an article taking issue with 'comedy snobbery' for Chortle.
