Danny Robins is a presenter, comedian and writer. He has appeared in numerous TV and Radio shows and performs live regularly.
He made his TV presenting debut last year, fronting the controversial and much talked about Let's Make A Baby for BBC 3's Mischief season - where he fooled the television industry by creating a fake reality show that promised to conceive the world's first Reality TV baby.
Since then, he has gone on to appear on various TV programmes including BBC 2's The Culture Show, for whom he has undertaken several challenges, including attempting to watch all of Shakepeare's plays in one month, becoming a Goth and exploring the New Folk Scene. He has also undertaken some prestigious interviews for The Culture Show, including Sir Patrick Moore to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Sky At Night and, very excitingly, a rare interview with Morrissey.
This year, he has been a regular co-presenter on BBC 3's The Bullsh*t Detective, exposing psychics and crystal healers amongst others and made a second Mischief film, The Great Sperm Crisis , where he toured the UK attempting to convince men to become sperm donors. Amazingly, he did single handedly raise the number of donors.
On radio, Danny is a regular on Radio 4 shows such as Front Row and Jon Ronson On and Radio 2's That Was Then This Is Now. As a comedy writer/performer, he was nominated for a Sony Radio Award as part of the critically acclaimed sketch show The Museum of Everything, along with his co-stars Marcus Brigstocke and Dan Tetsell. Danny has just had his own Radio 4 series commisioned Danny Robins: Music Therapy, which will be broadcast later this year. Other work includes presenting Radio 4's Live 8 backstage and fronting his own series Oneclick/Comedy late night on Radio 1.
He presented Radio 4's Live 8 backstage coverage in 2005 and during most of 2006 he presented his own hour long show Oneclick/Comedy late night on Radio 1, including such highlights as holding a music festival in his flat, interviewing alien abuductees and bodypopping with Natalie Imbruglia.
In July 2006 he helped launch Channel 4's new digital radio service 4Radio with his series Danny Robins Investigates. The series can still be heard at www.channel4radio.com
. Earlier this year he hosted The Knowledge Podcast for The Times newspaper,
a weekly discussion programme covering arts, film and music.
