Damien started performing standup in 2011 after completing a writing and performance course with Amused Moose comedy. In 2012, he beat the gong at the Comedy Store and in 2017, was awarded a place on the BAFTA Rocliffe TV Comedy Forum list.
In 2020, Damien created the scripted podcast, Wrestling With The Champ, which co-stars Ant McGinley (pictured right), and has been nominated for Best Comedy at the Independent Podcast Awards and Sports Podcast Awards.
And once comedy clubs opened up again post-Covid, Damien took the podcast on tour with all-new live versions entitled 'Better Red Than Dead', 'Smiledriver', and 'Chortle Combat', performing each one annually at the Leicester Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe. In 2023, Damien founded Podomedy, the podcast comedy network, nurturing the podcasts for a handful of exciting UK standups, comedians, and talented writers.
