Biography

Danny Robins is a presenter, comedian, writer and journalist. He has appeared in numerous TV and Radio shows and performs live regularly.

He made his TV presenting debut fronting the controversial and much talked about Let’s Make A Baby for BBC 3’s Mischief season - where he fooled the television industry by creating a fake reality show that promised to conceive the world’s first Reality TV baby.

Since then, he has gone on to appear on various TV programmes including BBC 2’s The Culture Show, for whom he has undertaken several challenges, including attempting to watch all of Shakespeare’s plays in one month, becoming a Goth and exploring the New Folk Scene. He has also done some prestigious interviews for The Culture Show, including Sir Patrick Moore to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Sky At Night and, very excitingly, a rare interview with Morrissey.

As a comedy writer/performer, he was nominated for a Sony Radio Award as part of the critically acclaimed sketch show The Museum of Everything, along with his co-stars Marcus Brigstocke and Dan Tetsell. Other work includes presenting Radio 4’s Live 8 backstage coverage, three series of That Was Then This Is Now for Radio 2, many appearances on 5Live and fronting his own series Oneclick/Comedy late night on Radio 1 – including such highlights as holding a music festival in his flat, interviewing alien abductees and bodypopping with Natalie Imbruglia. Having appeared on Radios 1, 2, 4 and 5, Danny just needs to get on Radio 3 for the full set!
