About Danny Wallace
Danny Wallace is a multifaceted writer and broadcaster whose unique social experiments have captured international attention. He rose to prominence by co-creating the Are You Dave Gorman? project before authoring the global bestseller Yes Man, which was later adapted into a major motion picture. His diverse body of work often explores human behaviour and social oddities, ranging from the accidental formation of a global kindness movement in Join Me to a psychological investigation into modern rudeness in his book F* You Very Much.
His extensive portfolio spans television, radio, and digital media. A Bafta winner for his performance in the Assassin’s Creed series, he has also presented a variety of programmes including How to Start Your Own Country, He's Having a Baby, and Castaway. On the airwaves, he has hosted shows for Absolute Radio and Xfm, and his columns have appeared in leading publications such as The Guardian, The Times, and Elle. Beyond his non-fiction experiments, he is an accomplished novelist and children’s author.
Audiences book Danny for his ability to blend humour with profound observations on psychology and community. He is a highly engaging speaker who brings a witty and original perspective to themes of personal development and social interaction.
On stage, Danny Wallace is best known for talks on Humor, Personal Development and Writing. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
Their work resonates with leaders across Entertainment, Media & Broadcasting and Publishing, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
Danny Wallace is regularly booked for Presenter & Awards Host, Performers and Entertainer and After Dinner Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
