Dan Clark has that triple threat we at InStyle like in our men – he’s fit, he’s funny and he’s totally likeable. If that’s enticed you, then you can also check him out on TV from next week starring in Series 3 of cult-favourite sitcom How Not To Live Your Life (which he also wrote) and he’s in InStyle’s A Comical Christmas feature (in the December issue, on sale now).
We nabbed him for a chat about dysfunctional bachelors, how he “desexed” Noel Fielding from the Mighty Boosh and his interesting new spin on Pretty Woman…
Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into comedy…
When I was 19 I wrote a play with a friend of mine and we took it to the Edinburgh festival - I caught the comedy bug there. I did sketch comedy for about six years, then stand up, and along the way was auditioning for stuff and writing scripts. In fact that’s what kind of got me How Not To Live Your Life commissioned. I’d made some short videos that the BBC really enjoyed (Dan Clark’s Guide to Dating and Dan Clark’s Guide to Working) and they got lots of hits on YouTube. Both were things you shouldn’t do on a date; or things you shouldn’t do at work, the excuses for being late...Can you explain How Not to Live Your Life for those readers who haven’t seen it?
It’s about a comedy series about a guy called Don Danbury who is loosely in his late 20s/early 30s who still refuses to grow up.
