Daniel Connell
One of Australia’s Most Loveable Comedians
Daniel Connell could easily be described as the ideal Aussie comedian: affable, loveable and hilarious.
One of the most active stand-up comedians in Australia, Daniel can be seen at comedy venues across the country all year round.
His observational, dry, often unanticipated comedy has seen him take to stages all over Australia and around the world, including Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe), India, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Driven to further his career in comedy, Daniel moved to Melbourne in 2010 and quickly established himself in the local scene.
In 2011 he performed in The Comedy Zone at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF), a line-up show of up and coming Australian comedians, hand picked by the festival.
Since then Daniel has performed a brand new hour of stand-up at 14 consecutive Melbourne International Comedy Festivals. He has also taken each show to every major Australian festival.
Daniel has made several TV appearances, including Have You Been Paying Attention? (2024, 2025), as well as performing on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (2017, 2019, 2021, 2024 & 2025), Comedy Up Late (2018), and the Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow (2022).
Daniel has taken his sell-out shows I’m Always Sore (2023) and Little Aussie Battler (2024) on national tours around Australia.
In 2025 Daniel brings his award-winning show Box-Headed Manbaby to every major Australian festival, and on an Australian tour.
