The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

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.

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… This episode is sponsored by Bits: Bits a robust app for crafting the perfect standup sets for stand-up comedians.
