Dan graduated in 2007 with a BA in English & Film from Queen's University Belfast, and then again in 2008 with an MA in Creative Writing. A member of the Lyric Studio since 2010 he has been acting and writing ever since. 

Dan is a member of local comedy troupe Those Who Can’t who often pry off the greasy lid of life in Northern Ireland to see what’s festering underneath. They came to our much-needed entertainment rescue last summer with Those Who Can’t Do Lockdown – a three-part online series of sketches about the new ‘normal’.
