Danny named after the famous Danny Kaye comes from a theatrical family. His mother was a Royal Ballet and Bluebell Dancer and his father the late comedian Ted Rogers.
 
 Danny first took to the stage after mimicking his father in the wings, leading him to play a part in Bernie Clifton’s act. Starting in the entertainment business, he wanted to learn the tricks of the trade and became a Butlin’s Redcoat, leading to summer seasons as an entertainer in Mallorca and Warner Leisure Hotels.
 
 He studied at the University of Chichester, where he gained a degree in Musical Theatre where he played Mr. Peachum - The Beggars Opera, Emcee - Cabaret and The Wolf - Into the Woods. He also co-wrote a celebration of the work of Cole Porter and played the great man in Unmistakably Cole Porter (Chichester Festival Theatre).
 
 Danny loves children’s theatre and has most recently toured across the country playing Baloo in The Jungle Book (UK tour), other children’s touring shows include Squirmtum in the CBeebies Television Show Tree Fu Tom Live and Big Bird and Telly Monster in Sesame Street’s Theatre Show Make a New Friend (International world tour).

His latest project, Bin & Gone, a one man play about his late father, has received a great success at the Brighton Fringe Festival 2018/19. From this success the show has toured the UK and Danny plans to take the show to the Edinburgh Fringe.

He is one half of a double act with comedy partner Jamie Clarricoates called Danny and Jamie and with their combination of comedy sketches, songs and dancing, they were thrilled to be asked to perform last year at the 'Paradise for Old Pro’s' at Brinsworth House.
