Danny Anderson (he/him) may be relatively new to the stand-up comedy scene, but is no stranger to using humor as a tool for navigating life’s obstacles. After having his Air Force career and profession as a building engineer cut short by Multiple Sclerosis, Danny finally took a very metaphorical leap into Comedy. He likes to point out some of the positives of his chronic disease… like at long last a legitimate excuse for being 6’4” and absolute trash at basketball. Danny has been dragging himself up behind microphones all across Washington State, already having limped across the stages at Spokane and Tacoma Comedy Clubs, Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Club, Comedy/Bar and Club Comedy on Capitol Hill in downtown Seattle and he’s patiently waiting for his Keyser Söze moment where he confidently strides up and off a stage near you!
