Compoeter. Wropoecop. Whatever your preferred combination of Writer, Comedian and Poet, that’s what Daniel Piper is. His debut book, Arbitrary and Unnecessary, was published in 2018. He has been seen/heard on TV/radio and tours regularly across the UK and Europe. Great stuff. He is the 2017 Scottish National Poetry Slam Champion (he lived in Glasgow for a while). In 2017 he also came second in the World Poetry Slam Championship (first the worst, second the best). His work has appeared in publications including The Skinny, Terrible People Magazine, The Alarmist and Wallpaper Magazine, where his Instagram writing page was recently named a ‘must-follow account’. Cool. His work has not yet appeared in The Guardian, The New Yorker and The Paris Review.
"A rare treat: one of the best creative minds in the business" Wallpaper Magazine "A clear front runner among up-and-coming comics" The Skinny "Spot-on comic timing. undeniably funny" The Stage "Engaging, perfectly-paced and downright funny" British Theatre Guide "Sharply observed, with chaotic energy and charm" The Scotsman "Palpably awkward and purely funny" Fest "eminently entertaining. decidedly one to watch" Apples & Snakes "Brilliant" Josie Long “There are some decent one-liners scattered throughout" The Wee Review "I hate that guy in the Nationwide TV advert who delivers his crappy poem like he's giving us his Hamlet" @rudemrlang
