DANE BUCKLEY
Dane Buckley is the world’s only Irish, Indian, gay comedian… probably. An award-winning comedian and writer, he delivers his comedy effortlessly with cheeky charm and camp mischief.
Dane burst onto the comedy circuit in 2022, making a name for himself by winning Gong Shows (Beat the Frog World Series, The Comedy Store’s King Gong, Top Secret’s Gong, to name a few) and has been a finalist in LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year (2022) and 2Northdown’s New Act competition (2022).
Whether it’s stories of his early years – Irish mammies, Indian grannies, and rebel priests – or his career in social care – chasing pensioners through Paris or delivering a baby impromptu – audiences across the UK are enjoying Dane’s hilarious and heart-warming tales.
Dane has supported Rosie Jones, Tom Allen and My Therapist Ghosted Me on tour. He recently filmed for Comedy Central Live, and is a regular on the club and festival circuit.
Dane co-hosts the podcast Welcome to Hell. It debuted in the top 10 charts of both Apple & Spotify & has gained a loyal following. Together with Daniel Foxx, the Infernal Aunties judge outrageous confessions, celebrate the salacious, bask in the bitchy, & revel in a good old fashioned gossip.
