DANIEL TOWNES

- COMEDIAN

I was happiest when … I thought of an answer for all of these questions. You wouldn’t know it but … some of these questions are harder to answer than you’d think. My most embarrassi­ng moment … when I was a kid I did that thing where you superglue money to the ground and sit back and watch people try and pick it up. I didn’t realise I had some glue on my finger, I got an itchy eye and superglued my eye closed. The last time I cried was … about a month ago. The last book I read was… The Colour Correction Handbook by Alexis Van Hurkman. My favourite films are … not films, they are long-running narrative-driven TV drama series. The Wire and The Sopranos are the top two. really want to … have better answers for some of these questions. My guilty pleasure is … I don’t really feel guilty about little things in life like snacks or whatever. If I want an ice cream, I’ll eat it. Life has taught me … way too many things that will fit in the space allotted for this little Q & A. I’m about to … have an ice cream. My first job was … at McDonald’s. My most memorable work-related moment is … constantly getting on stage and making a room full of people laugh. What I enjoy most about my work is … the freedom of being on stage and performing standup comedy.
