#30: Dane Buckley - Comedian

Dane Buckley is the world’s only Irish, Indian, gay comedian… probably! An award-winning comedian and writer, he delivers his comedy effortlessly with cheeky charm and camp mischief.

Dane burst onto the comedy circuit in 2022, after a fulfilling career in charity work and social care, making a name for himself by winning Gong Shows and was a finalist in LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year (2022), British Comedian of the Year (2024) and BBC New Comedy Awards (2024).

Whether it’s stories of his early years – Irish mammies, Indian grannies, and rebel priests – or his career in social care – chasing pensioners through Paris or delivering a baby impromptu – audiences across the UK are enjoying Dane’s hilarious and heart-warming tales.

Dane has supported Deirdre Kane, My Therapist Ghosted Me, Tom Allen and Rosie Jones on Tour, has been featured on Comedy Central, BBC THREE and BBC ONE and is a regular on the club and festival circuit.

Dane co-hosts the podcast Welcome to Hell which debuted in the top 10 charts of both Apple and Spotify and has gained a loyal following. Together with Daniel Foxx, the Infernal Aunties judge outrageous confessions, celebrate the salacious and revel in a good old-fashioned gossip.

In this conversation, we touch on the pilgrimage it takes to get closer to the heart of Ireland, and what it means to be Irish, learn Irish and speak Irish. Go raibh míle maith agat, a chara! Thanks a million, friend! Ba phleisiúr ollmhór é! It was a huge pleasure :)
