About Funny

Dan Lee-Archer started busking with circus performers as a teenager on the streets of Tasmania, over 16 years ago (Tasmania is the small island down the bottom of the really big island Australia). After moving to Sydney with the hopes of becoming a famous actor (which may still happen according to his Mum); he somehow stumbled upon the opportunity to perform in front of children at conferences and big events. This was a match made in heaven as the kids found everything he did (and what he looks like) hilarious, and Funny Man Dan was born. Since then he has performed for children all over Australia and around the world, including the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Cambodia and even Rwanda – where he performed for a crowd of 20,000 people without speaking English. Funny Man Dan is not a magician, he is not a musician, he is not a clown and he is definitely not a dancer. But if you take a little bite from each of those and put it in an oven with slapstick and stand-up comedy, you get the World’s First Bounce Around Comedian. This means he will do anything and everything to make a child laugh and experience the simple joy of watching someone trying to tie a knot, or saying the word ‘Hello’. Funny Man Dan loves to laugh and he wants to share that laughter with as many people as he can; but the thing he loves most is meeting kids from all around the world and reminding them of just how incredible they are. In fact if you are a kid and you are reading this, he has a message for you:

‘You are awesome, never forget that’
