Edinburgh Comedy Awards Nominee

Best Podcast – National Comedy Awards Nominee

Chortle Best Newcomer Nominee

Host of Live at the Apollo

Original and provocative, Dane Baptiste is hailed as one of the most exciting acts in British Comedy. The London-born stand-up made history in 2014 as the first Black British act to be nominated for a comedy award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his debut stand-up show Citizen Dane.

Following this nomination, the show enjoyed incredible success at London’s Soho Theatre completing two sold-out runs with additional dates added due to phenomenal demand. His second stand-up show Reasonable Doubts was again met with huge critical acclaim and performed to sold-out audiences at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe, with his first nationwide solo tour following in 2016. In 2018 Dane set out on a massive world tour, covering numerous territories, with his smash hit third stand-up hour G.O.D. (Gold. Oil. Drugs).

During the 2020 lockdown Baptiste performed on The Big Night In (BBC One) for Children in Need and Comic Relief. He has also hosted Live At The Apollo (BBC Two), Live from the Comedy Store (Comedy Central) and created, wrote and starred in his own sitcom Sunny D (BBC Three/One), which was the first black sitcom commissioned by the BBC in 20 years.

Dane also hosts his own hugely successful podcast Dane Baptiste Questions Everything, which was acquired by Acast in 2020. In October 2020, Dane’s satirical new pilot Bamous was commissioned by BBC Three. Dane created and presented the comedy entertainment show which celebrated Blackness and Britishness.

In 2021 Dane launched his Chocolate Chip Tour to critical acclaim with shows continuing in 2022.

Dane finished 2021 with regular appearances on Steph’s Packed Lunch and Unapologetic, both for Channel 4 and recently launched his YouTube series The A-Z of Blackness.

2023 saw Dane return to the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in 5 years with his new show Bapsquire.

Dane’s Live work has gone from strength to strength since his debut show ‘Citizen Dane’; with successive live shows ‘Reasonable Doubts’ and ‘Gold Oil and Drugs’ not only being sell-out international tour shows as far afield as Australia and the UAE, but also being adapted for shows such as ‘Live At The BBC’ on Netflix and ‘Live At Soho Theatre’ on Amazon Prime.
