CHANNEL 101

The comedy puppet music video, Everybody Wants to Date My Sister, was selected for Dan Harmon’s Monthly Film Fest Channel 101 and the audience voted for a sequel.

JEWISH JOURNAL

“Comedy became an outlet to deal with a lot of frustrations in my day-to-day life and to also speak out against nonsense occurring in our society."

SHOUTOUT LA

“If all else fails, we can always say, ‘if this joke sucks, then that’s fine. I can write ten more jokes and maybe one of them won’t be suck-ish’, and that permission to fail is a magical tool.”

VOYAGE LA

“I’m a director, writer, and comedian who uses fantastical worldbuilding and hybrid genres to satirize the nonsense occurring in our own society.”

This Week's Peep Show- Writer/Songwriter

This Week's Peep Show is a sketch comedy, vaudeville-inspired podcast. I wrote sketches, scenes, and comedy songs for the show. These sketches range from a wildlife documentary narrator visiting fraternity row to a slam poet's vulgar Tinder heartbreak poem. Here are examples of produced sketches I've written for TWPS.

"I followed my Hollywood Dreams to LA to sort mail and mop floors for no pay!"

"If you're an actor of the theater, forks on the left please, thank you waiter!"

“250,000 emails, 5,000 Skype interviews, 400 in persons, and 0 job offers!”

ABOUT ME

Danny Dalah: 2 Oz. Self-Deprecation, 1 Oz. Bernie Sanders Energy, and 1 Oz. Juvenile Humor. 

Shake, strain, and garnish with Jewish Guilt.

An Israeli-American brought up with ‘70s Israeli movie references to films he has never seen, Danny started making stop-motions in middle school. In an early attempt at satire, he animated the Founding Fathers breaking out into “I’m Blue Daba Dee” mid-Constitution signing. Following his family’s advice about financial stability, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Cinema from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts and a Comedy Minor for his back-up plan. He further pursued higher education by finishing the sketch and improv tracks at the Upright Citizens Brigade. As a CBS head page, he was even high-fived by James Corden once.

After mastering flamenco guitar, he performed songs about thirsty guys at The Comedy Store, The Ice House, and even some dude’s garage. In his time off from railing against the man, he has written for podcasts, video-games, satirical articles, web-series, and his friends’ break-up texts. Also, his fantasy musical comedy pilot Rock the Boat placed in the Austin Film Festival as a Second-Rounder. 

Channeling his disdain for the insurance industry and love of horror, he recently wrote a comedy pilot titled HELLBEING INC. about a greedy family-run insurance company specializing in supernatural claims. 

Recently, Danny wrote narrative for Tic Toc Games and Dancing Atom Films and released his musical comedy album Mr. Self-Sabotage.
