Australian comedian Ross Daniels is bringing his most popular characters from stage and online together in an exciting new show.

Daniels has been living in West Footscray for 20 years where he developed his unique collection of comic personas online during lockdown.

“I have had some recent success online on various online apps, so I will be performing a handful of characters that have been featured online,” he said.

“The four main characters are all based on real people to some extent, one is a homeless guy based on one man I saw in Townsville as a kid, another is a neighbour based on my neighbour who seems to know everything before anyone else does.

“They all have different views and different energies, they all reference the real different things going on in life.”

Daniels first solo show in four years is a character/sketch comedy with a playful connecting narrative.

“Audiences can expect a little bit of music, comedy and lots of jokes, it will be a packed hour of characters and satire” he said.

Daniels is a seasoned performer who has worked on the Australian stage and television for over 30 years.

Along with his long list of comedy credits, he is an acclaimed, Green Room nominated dramatic actor.

“My online work is more recent but I have some background in film and tv which has allowed me to apply those skills to sketches,” he said.

Ross Daniels – Offline opens Monday, July 10, and runs until Saturday, July 15 for six shows only at The Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place, Melbourne.
