Dan Bain is a theatre director, a playwright, and one-third of the improvised comedy sensation Perfuct Storm. He literally wrote the book on improvising in a performance context (These are NOT the Rules of Improvisation - available now at perfuct.co.nz) and his deliberately dull sleep-aid podcast Dan Bain’s Sleepy Time Mumbles remains bafflingly popular.

He’s been doing standup comedy for almost as long as he’s been obsessed with chicken wings and was the Associate Director of The Court Theatre for three years, the Artistic Director of the Court Jesters for six years, and currently is the Artistic Director of Little Andromeda.
