“Danielle is another fine example of a comedian who we've had the pleasure of seeing perform from quite early on in her comedy journey. And we've seen her progress really well since. She's got genuine passion for what she does and her material is slick with a perfect amount of punches on offer. Self deprecating, observational and colourful. Recently, Danielle has shown/developed more of an attitude in her performances, which is great to see. Especially when she's interacting with audiences. She's performed at many Cat & Stick nights of all levels. Each and everytime, she delivered without fail. Definitely talented and a name for the future I'm sure.” - Marty Riley | Cat & Stick Comedy
"Danielle captivated our audience from the start and kept them laughing throughout" - Oli Clarke | The Red Deer Comedy Club
