Dane Buckley is a comedian and writer whose unique Irish-Indian heritage and candid storytelling bring fresh perspectives to the stage. Known for his quick wit and playful humour, Dane has rapidly made his mark since 2022, winning multiple Gong Shows and reaching the finals of the LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year competition. He has supported Tom Allen and Rosie Jones on tour and was named one of Skiddle’s Best Up-and-Coming Stand Up Comedians in 2023.
Dane’s comedy draws on his multicultural background and experiences as a gay man, weaving in stories from his early life and work in social care. His performances offer audiences a rare blend of humour and insight, challenging stereotypes while highlighting the everyday realities of identity and belonging. Organisations value his ability to foster open conversations about diversity, inclusion and resilience through laughter.
Audiences leave Dane’s shows with a deeper understanding of intersectionality, practical ways to embrace difference, and a renewed appreciation for the power of humour in building community.
