Danny Alder's Blurbs |
About me:
Born in London in 1978 to two actors/singers, who at the time were playing along side each other in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" at The Palace theatre in the West End. My Dad, Steve played Jesus and my Mum played Mary Magdeline.
My Mum and I moved to Perth, Western Australia in 1987. I stuffed around through primary and high school until year 12 where my Applecross High School acting teacher took me aside and told me I could muck around and get paid for it.
Went to WAAPA for year, 2 years in Brisbane studying at ACPA, 5 shows with Queensland Theatre Company, did a film called Blurred, moved to Melbourne, started impro comedy, then stand-up, had a successful 2005 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, got married to my beautiful wife, then an even better 2006 MICF resulting in the comics choice "Piece of Wood Award" nomination.
