from The Producers Lounge · host Greater & Grander
After graduating with a BS in Engineering, Danny moved to NYC in the 90's and acted in and produced plays, sketch comedy, and stand up comedy. He became one of the biggest producers of stand up comedy in NYC outside the comedy clubs for 8 years. He had 5 different venues, producing 8 shows a week, and giving away 30 spots a week to comedians. Danny had celebrities such as Jim Gaffigan, Ed Helms, Sarah Silverman, Marc Maron, Bill Burr, and many others come in on a regular basis to headline. He also co-founded the Comedy Soapbox with Steve Hofstetter. Danny was cast in a great deal of theater, appearing in numerous plays and was the lead in six productions off and off off Broadway. He's had a few options on scripts, and moved to LA in 2013 and produced a comedy series that we premiered at the Hollywood Improv called "Who Killed the Bible Salesman", while doing comedy at the clubs and small venues. One of his scripts, a vigilante/horror/comedy, Danny successfully produced a reading with Christopher Titus, Judd Nelson, and Casper Van Dien. There were 18 actors and about 30 audience members.Check out his new Website & Podcast The DL Show - http://www.thedl.show Follow him on Facebook @dannymcdermottla and @downlowshowFollow him on Facebook: Danny P McDermott and The DL Show - Down Low with Danny and LizetteCredits Include...Who Killed the Bible Salesman? starring Fred StollerThe Danny McDermott Show starring Rick OvertonCross: Rise of the Villains starring James Hong, Eric Roberts, and Danny TrejoWhiskey God starring Cody Renee CameronPlease like and subscribe, it helps us out a lot.Music is Sweet Georgia Brown by Latché Swing.Episode still image is by Ricardo Tomasz on Greater & Grander.Follow Us on Social Media!Greater & Grander on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/GreaterGrander Greater & Grander on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GreaterGrander Greater & Grander on Twitter - https://twitter.com/GreaterGrander Greater & Grander on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/GreaterGrander Register and Get a Free List of Special Info on Jobs in Hollywood - http://greaterandgrander.com/special-job-openings-giveaways Check out past episodes and bonus content on the Greater & Grander website - http://greaterandgrander.com/tag/producers-lounge-podcast Support the show
