From:  Favorite Hunks & Other Things

Recently got to see Scottish comedian Danny Bhoy and I was in love, well lust anyway.

Check Danny's official Website 

Danny Bhoy (born Danni Chaudhry) is a Scottish comedian who has performed in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Sweden and the United States. He is of Indian and Scottish descent.

Bhoy was born in Moffat, Scotland as one of four children and attended Lockerbie Academy and Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh.

His humor is observational, often involving his own personal experiences as an international comedian. While he does mention his Indian heritage, his shows centers around Scottish social patterns. Despite his stage name, Bhoy is not a fan of Celtic F.C. (who are nicknamed The Bhoys), his favorite team is in fact Newcastle United.

He began stand up in 1998 after going to see his first comedy show at the Edinburgh Festival. A year later, he won The Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award, Britain's biggest competition for comedy newcomers. In 2001, Danny took his first full length solo show to the Edinburgh Festival, where, within a week, he had sold out his entire three-week run, and added extra shows to cope with the demand for tickets.

By the spring of 2003, Danny's comedy started to take a different direction. That year he also entered the Australian comedy market, with his first solo show at the invitation-only Melbourne Comedy Festival. This led to various Australian TV appearances on Rove Live, The Glass House, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala. In November of that year, Danny was invited to perform on the Royal Variety Show.

In 2005, Danny was invited to take part in the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, where the Montreal Gazette described him as "the stand out hit of the festival". In November, Danny was invited to take part in the inaugural Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Bhoy toured Australia in 2007, ending his tour at the Sydney Opera House, and 2009 with the last show at Her Majesty's Theatre, Perth.

Danny appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, broadcast on 5 March 2010, and the Comedy Network's "Saturday Night Stand-up", which was broadcast on 17 April 2010. He appeared on Comedy Central with his new routine, "Subject to Change: Danny Bhoy", which was broadcast on 22 May 2010, and appeared on Live at the Apollo, broadcast in December 2010.

In early 2011, Danny began touring around Australia with his show Messenger (Please Do Not Shoot), selling out his shows at the Sydney Comedy Festival. He also sold out all his shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and had to add two separate shows at a different venue to his other shows due to popular demand. These shows were also sold out.

His 2012 show, Dear Epson, was loosely centered upon a series of letters to well-known companies. He toured the show following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
