His career began as a producer for BBC Radio where he worked on perennial favourites the News Quiz and Week Ending before creating his own comedy shows Saturday Night Fry with Stephen Fry and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

In 1998 Dan took Whose Line Is It Anyway? to America, producing it for ABC Television where the episode that guest starred Robin Williams attracted an audience of over 15 million people. When Dan returned from the States in 2004, he established Angst Productions and, with Mark Leveson, created the hit satirical panel show Mock The Week which has completed 21 successful series over 17 years. Other Angst Productions shows have included 29 Minutes Of Fame (BBC One), the improvisation based Fast and Loose (BBC Two), Trust Us With Your Life (ABC) and The Great American Joke Off (The CW).

In 2023 Dan co-wrote Winner’s Curse with Daniel Taub, a play about international peace negotiations starring Clive Anderson, which ran at Park Theatre.
But the really important thing is that, as a teenager, he went to Habonim Dror.
