Danny Bhoy began stand up in 1998. A year later, he won The Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award, Britain's biggest competition for comedy newcomers. In 2001, he took his solo show to the Edinburgh Festival, where he sold out his entire three-week run. Since 2003, Danny has made annual appearances at all the major comedy festivals around the world. The success of his live work led to various TV appearances on high-profile national Australian TV shows such as Rove Live, The Glasshouse, and several Melbourne International Comedy Festival Galas. Since 2003, Danny has regularly been the top-selling comedian in his hometown of Edinburgh, but in just a few years he has also broken ticket records at festivals in Australia and New Zealand. In 2005, Danny was invited to the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, where he received rave reviews, leading the Montreal Gazette to describe him as "the stand out hit of the festival." 2007 saw Danny embark on his first tour of Australia, which included 94 dates and ended with a triumphant series of shows at the Sydney Opera House where he filmed his first DVD, Danny Bhoy: Live at the Sydney Opera House. He then went on to his 3rd sell-out tour of New Zealand, and became the first stand up comedian ever to do a run of English-speaking stand-up shows in India. 2009 brought Danny to the first annual Chicago Comedy Festival, a return to the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, where Danny taped his premier Comedy Central One Hour Special.
