Daniel joins us for a chat below.
Just what is a Boyboss?
A boyboss is neither a boy nor a boss, but a mentality. It applies to boys of all genders.
A boyboss is someone who’s not afraid to ask for a straw with their pint.
It’s Bruno Mars dancing his heart out in a Las Vegas residency to pay off his mafia debts.
It’s someone who knows that life is meant to be lived, not achieved, so achieves nothing just in case.
This is your debut comedy show at Fringe. So just how nervous are you?
I have gotten a little more nervous in the last few months but there’s wars on at the moment so that keeps things in perspective.
How did you get your start in theatre? Do you find Fringe festivals inspiring?
I did GCSE drama but had no acting talent. My drama teacher once instructed me to simply “move my face with the words better.”
She told me talentless annoying people sometimes try stand-up and the rest was history.
Fringe festivals are amazing. I think everyone should perform at one at least once in their life.
Whenever I reach Edinburgh, I love being around so many artists trying to make something happen.
It’s pure love of the game, and they can literally never take that away from us.
What are you looking forward to the most at Edinburgh?
Walking around, honestly. The city makes me feel like I live in a pop-up book, and I think that’s fabulous. Also, drinking an iced coffee at 8pm to stay up to do the show.
Where can we see your work after Fringe?
All updates will be on my Instagram page! (@daniel_mckeon)
