As seen on Have You Been Paying Attention? in 2024, Daniel Connell could easily be described as the ideal Aussie comedian; affable, loveable and hilarious. One of the most active stand-up comedians in Australia, Daniel can be seen at comedy venues across the country all year round. His observational, dry, often unanticipated comedy has seen him take to stages all over Australia and around the world, including Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe), India, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Driven to further his career in comedy, Daniel moved to Melbourne and quickly established himself in the local scene.
Daniel has performed a brand new hour of stand-up at 12 consecutive Melbourne International Comedy Festivals. He has also taken each show to every major Australian festival.
Daniel has made several TV appearances, performing on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (2017, 2019, 2021 & 2024), Comedy Up Late (2018), and the Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow (2022).
In 2023 Daniel took off on his first national tour, taking his sell-out show I’m Always Sore right around Australia.
In 2024 Daniel takes his new show Little Aussie Battler to every major Australian festival, and on a national tour.
We were lucky enough to have Daniel Connell perform at one of our monthly social events in April. Daniel provides endless belly laughter and was the perfect Tuesday afternoon pick me up! The staff loved the act and are still talking about it. We look forward to having Daniel back at future events.
National Australia BankDaniel was picked because, when reviewing a comedian for our event, he was the one that made me laugh out loud. In person, he did not disappoint! It was the first time the company ever used a comedian at an event, and he has set a standard that is going to be hard to beat next year! FABULOUSLY FUNNY COMEDIAN!

Connell is the chosen one when it comes to the chilled, very dry, dark, witty humour.
