Daniel Foxx is an award-winning comedian, writer and viral sketch sensation. His debut show VILLAIN earned rave reviews at the 2023 Fringe and has recently completed a worldwide tour.

Off stage, Daniel co-wrote the hit musical Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch, and is now developing a series based on one of his much-loved online characters.

In this episode, we discuss the production of VILLAIN (selling out, losing money and poster tactics), the crossover between musical theatre and stand-up, the creative burnout which nearly led to retraining as a surgeon, how “camp gay men” are perceived differently on stage, aligning stage persona with online content, Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children and is Daniel Foxx happy…
