Me at The 2009 Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival

"LA TRIP PART 1- Meet The Cobra" 

I got flown out to LA by my friend Aryeh Teplow-Phipps to film some skethces with his friend The Cobra and some people he works with. It was a very strange trip, one in which I wound up living 3 places in 2 weeks and

filming some real out there shit. I thought an

 appropriate start to this would be by introducing you to the Cobra

since he was the first one I saw (he picked me up at the airport) when I got to LA. So here goes...

Hospitalied

"Doing Press"

To prepare for the upcoming "Glasgow Comedy Festival",

I was asked to do some press for the Scottish newspapers.

This is an interview I did for "The Daily Record". Enjoy...

"Road Gig"

As a performer you are often forced to travel a lot, At my stage in the game that means a lot of one nighters

on the east coast. I thought this gig would be a good example of what it can be like t

o show you guys and gals out there. Hope you like it.

NOTE: I include a lot of driving footage upfront to try and give an authentic feel of things.

"Coffee Shop Chats"

Today was a rainy miserable day and my show was cancelled because of the crappy weather so I decided to get some Coffee at the local Coffee shop. You never know what kind of interesting people you might run into at a coffee shop and lucky for me I met a guy who was very entertaining and nice enough to let me film him... Hope you like it. DL

"Inspiration"

As much as New York City might get one depressed, there is a reason that many comics I've spoken to whom have moved to LA tell me they like to come home to NY to get inspired to write. I was waiting for the Subway yesterday when I ran into this guy. I haven't yet turned this into a joke for the stage but I'm working on it and certainly one of these days when I get on a show like SNL this guy could be the basis for a hilarious character...Today was a rainy miserable day and my show was canceled because of the crappy weather so I decided to get some Coffee at the local Coffee shop.

"My Hood..."

I thought in this entry I'd show you a little bit of my neighborhood and show you what I see every day. Hope you like it. The music is a favorite of mine Sean Lennon...

"Going to the Gym"

I decided to start exercising so that I don't die of fatness, I think that part of what is going to take my career to the next level is going from deadly fat to party fat (ie. John Belushi not Artie Lange) so that leads me to the gym. If you saw the illustration of me for the animated series that Wil and I are working on, then you may have noticed it's thinner than I am, it's bad when people don't even want to draw you as fat as you are because it wouldn't make for a watchable cartoon character. My goal is that by the time the cartoon is finished and we start to pitch it, I want to be in "cartoon shape". Cartoon Danny looks much better than the real Danny right now so it's gonna be a challenge. I'll post my progress as I go, here on the site, it will be like "The Biggest Loser" but without the hot chick trainer to pleasure yourself to, she's always yelling at the guys on that show "Push yourself, I don't care if it hurts! I want your whole body to feel it!" and I'm like "yea me too, I ate a donut today I've been very bad, call me the biggest loser again, oh train me!" I think I would get thrown off that show; but anyway... Enjoy the clip!!
