Daniel Cabrera (aka Dani Cabs) is an actor, emcee and physical comedian/clown based on the Gold Coast, . He has performed original work in numerous comedy and arts festivals, such as Fringe, International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe and has appeared on Australian TV.

He has trained with La Boite Theatre (Brisbane) and in various forms of clown and physical comedy/ theatre with award-winning physical comedian Dr. Brown (Phillip Burgers, L.A), Anna Yen (Brisbane) and Danielle Cresp (Melbourne). Starting out as a self trained clown in 2014, Dani created two solo shows that toured Australia and Edinburgh UK.

In mid 2016 Dani started to reach out to fellow artists and look for ways to collaborate, leading to roving performances at Jungle Love Festival, emcee for Sydney based Plastik Soup's Cabaret at Lost Paradise Festival, the making of his third fringe show, a duo with fellow clown Barnie Duncan, a spot in Debase Productions roving troupe "The SQUAD" for Festival 2018/Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. Since June 2018 Dani has been working for Guru Dudu Productions as an integral part of the company's growth from running Silent Tours in 2 cities when he was brought on- board to now 8 cities worldwide.

Dani's passion is play, he hopes that through clowning, roving, and performance he'll be able to reach out to audiences and encourage them to find their inner child and play along with him and/or whatever team he is a part of at the time. PERFORMANCES & EXHIBITIONS
