I'm not actually a band - my cousin Andrew set this page up for me. He is in a band. A very good band. I work at the BBC and have interests in comedy and music. Musical comedy is right up my street.
I am currently doing three things:
1). Writing some electro-comedy sketches with Paul Kemble.
2). Working on my live Gameshow 'Choose Day'.
3). Trying to make radio programmes for the BBC.

My name is Day. DAY MACASKILL. I am a part-time gameshow host, part-time comedian and part-time radio broadcaster. I am a Chelskov FC fan because (a) they are my local team and (b) the first game I ever went to was at Stamford Bridge. My dad is an artist, my eldest sister works as a talent agent, my elder sister is an artist and my mum is a talent agent. I work in RADIO. And I love it. CHOOSE DAY is a gameshow I host. Our mission at CD is to bring back really difficult, hard-fact-based gameshows with complicated rules and a history/geography slant. We're getting there...

Guess My Answer
Hello David. I'm not getting to Edinburgh until the 10th August. I will then be doing We Need Answers with AH and MW until the 16th. On the 13th I will be doing Cowards with TB, SG and LW/T and from the 14th till 16th I'll be doing Freeze with TB. Hope that clears things up - sounds like we may not overlap. My life went into writing overdrive and I smash into two deadlines in the next ten days. After that things are a lot clearer. Then we should have a pint in a pub. No? That's my opinion anyhow.
