Danny Buckler began his career in the mid-Nineties as a magician - working the shop floor of Harrods.

From there, he was soon invited to perform at private functions for the likes of Liam Gallagher, Bruce Willis and the Sultan of Brunei, and began to perform on the stand-up circuit.

Initially conjuring remained the mainstay of his act - he performed an Edinburgh Fringe show in 2003 with fellow magician-comedian Mandy Muden - although he has more recently adopted a storytelling approach.

He has entertained the troops in Bosnia, Belfast, The Falkland Islands and Diego Garcia and supported Victoria Wood on her 2001 national tour.

On TV he has appeared in the BBC 1 primetime Saturday night specials Secrets of Magic, and has been a warm-up act for recordings of Dead Ringers and Dinnerladies, among others.

He also has a keen interest in horror films of the Thirties and kung-fu.

Saw Danny at the Lowry in Manchester on Friday night with jon richardson. I thought he was fantastic! The only problem was that his set was too short. Hilarious and cute and I can't wait to see him again.

Saw Danny last night at the Electric Theatre in Guildford. I thought he was brilliant. My favourite act of the night.

Alex, February 2011

Just seen Danny at the Havana St Albans - absolutely top act - energy and originality in abundance - loved the phantom routine - thanks for brilliant entertainment just what's needed for perfect night out!

Jayne, April 2010

He's fit! And an absolute top class entertainer. Saw him as a compere but he was funnier than the acts! Defo wanna see him agen!

Tienne, February 2010

It's like he is doing an impression of what he thinks a comedian should look/sound and be like - thus it's quite funny but there is nothing new here.

Danny was the headline act at The Cross Hands, Bristol. He was absolutely brilliant. I would have no hesitation to book him again!

Brad Dayment, March 2009

Danny was one of the performers aboard the Disney Magic's Mexican Riviera Cruise last week and we thought he was brilliant... far better than any of the other non-Disney performers aboard. He can work with kids and adults with equal panache, humor and talent. Wish I'd known he had some Brian Blessed stories to tell - we would have asked him to share. Would love to see him in the US

JB Marsh, August 2008

As a compere or an act he is as strong as they get and a genuine benefit to a show, especially in a difficult room. To be honest I have never take much stock with prop acts but since Danny has dropped the cards and pieces of string he has soared in my estimations and rightly joined the ranks of good solid stand-ups that the industry so badly needs. A cracking act.
