Danny has performed at over 100 comedy venues in the US and Canada. He has sold out every venue (standing room only) in which he headlined in 2024 and 2025. Some of his favorites include: the iconic Improv (Silicon Valley); The Gaslight Theatre (Northern California); Rooster T Feathers Comedy Club (Silicon Valley); Tommy T’s Comedy Club (Northern California); The SDES (SF Bay Area); The Shanghai Room (Washington), at which viewing screens were required for the overflow crowd.
 

Danny is known for his tagline, “I don’t get it, man. I just don’t get it,” as he theatrically performs one-liners and call-back jokes to entertain his captive audience with animated full-body expression.

​

Danny is the co-star of the cooking show The Comic and the Cook. Danny, of course, is the comedian who provides laughs on the show and is not the cook, thank goodness.
 

Danny has performed clean and occasionally not-so-clean standup sets ranging from 30 to 90 minutes for charitable fundraisers, corporate events, and club special events. A long list of internationally touring comedians have opened for Danny as a headliner. These openers have been on National television, late-night talk shows, and popular streaming sites.
 

Danny grew up on the west side of Chicago with Italian immigrant grandparents. Danny’s mom was a pianist who studied at the Chicago Conservatory of Music and performed at Carnegie Hall. Danny’s dad did stand-up comedy on a variety of cruise ships. Danny’s education about entertainment literally started in the womb!
 

As a youngster, Danny ran through play scripts with the main characters to help them rehearse their lines and learned to act by watching them react to him. He still takes acting and dancing lessons to enhance his comedic repertoire. He believes that the most serious part of stand-up comedy is fulfilling the obligation to make the paying audiences of all ages laugh during his shows.
