Daniel was born in the Virgo Supercluster at the outer limits of the Milky Way Galaxy near a star known locally as the Sun on a planet where the food is quite good. He graduated from Hampshire College where he studied Theatre & Dance Performance. His senior seriocomic monologue, In Stitches, brought return audiences and won him a grant to continue work on stage. When his college advisor wrote him a recommendation to Harvard University he decided comedy was a smarter option. He has since performed in clubs, cabarets, theatres and festivals at home and across the world. Recently he played the lead role in the short film Eugene that won Best Student Film at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. Watching him is like watching live animals.
