Danny Deegan
With the confidence and swagger that you might expect of a North-West comedian at the very top of his game, Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who has become a regular at most of the major comedy clubs in the UK since he began performing in 2003.
Danny’s tales of mischief and the characters he creates have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met traveling. His talent and likability coupled with his confidence make him one of the most popular acts in the North, a master at dealing with a tough crowd, and an act that promoters always turn to when booking gigs.
Danny is a seasoned headliner and MC, with credits including work for promoters such as Off The Kerb, The Glee, Ten Feet Tall, Frog & Bucket, CKP, The Stand and Avalon.
Danny also recently performed a headline set at the Green Man festival in South Wales getting a great reception from the 400 people in the comedy tent and being asked to wrap up for Manchester band "The Doves" after their headline set in front of 12,000 people.
Away from live work, Danny has made several radio appearances, from being a guest on Radio GMR to having his own show "Afternoons with Danny Deegan" on CAT FM in Crewe, whilst his TV credits include appearances on "Made in the North" and "The Adam and Shelley Show" to name but two.

Review:
"...at his best, he’s a skillful raconteur... there’s something of the Dave Gorman about his over-earnest examination of such a ridiculous, pointless time-waster. The inventiveness in the set-up, and a couple of neat twists, also add to the quality." - Steve Bennett, Chortle - City Life Comedian of the Year Final - October 2005
