Danny Robins was born in 1976 and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne. He started out as a standup comedian and went on to make TV and radio shows including Young Dracula for CBBC and The Museum of Everything for BBC Radio 4. The supernatural has dominated his recent work: the podcast series The Battersea Poltergeist, Uncanny and The Witch Farm, and his award-winning play 2.22, which is on in the West End and embarks on a UK-wide tour from 1 September. Robins’s new book, Into the Uncanny, is out on 14 September followed by his Uncanny live tour starting 10 October.
