The Comedy Discussion with Dan Cushnie

Facts:

  • I aim to interview 50 comedians in my lifetime.

  • My dream is to write professionally about comedy and the arts. I was recently published in the Liverpool Echo.

  • I’m proudly autistic, and it feeds my passion for comedy.

  • I have an English degree, but I didn’t write for quite a few years after completing my course, besides keeping a journal. This blog started as a portfolio of my writing to show to publications. It has since become an important resource for my mental health and a great way for comics to promote their tours.

  • I'm based in the North of England.
