REVIEWS

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

“Comedy gold...Bird's going to be a big star, catch him close-up now” – THE SCOTSMAN

“A great storyteller, funny, likeable and effortless” – TIME OUT

"Birdie supported me on my arena tour and made me laugh every night. Truly an excellent comedian" – MICHAEL MCINTYRE

"Funny as hell" – RHOD GILBERT

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

★ DANNY WARD

Observational comedian, writer and presenter Danny Ward's humour is up-beat and well honed, and his manic style of delivery is both endearing and very funny. With a high energy set and brilliantly well observed material covering everything from the randomness of the Lidl, to how to get the 'London Look' the gags keep coming.

In 2013 he won the prestigious Amused Moose People’s Award at the Edinburgh Festival for his debut show Pressure Point, and since then, Danny has been booked throughout the UK by all the major comedy clubs and has also completed two tours performing to returning troops. Besides the comedy clubs of the U.K., Danny is a favourite at the Summer festivals such as Glastonbury, Larmer Tree, Beautiful Days and Edinburgh Fringe. His comedy is ‘slick, quick and packed with funny material’ (3 Weeks, 2015) and is always certain to provide a show stopping performance wherever he goes.
