    Danny McMaster: Profile

    Danny McMaster is simply: a very good entertainer. You could call him an impressionist extraordinaire.

    You'll think you're listening to Jack Nicholson, Bill Cosby, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood or even The Presidents (past & present), or perhaps cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd and Goofy. You could be taking a nostalgic trip with John Wayne, Walter Brennan, Marlon Brando or Jimmy Stewart. A highlight of Danny's repertoire is his ability to mimic British international stars Billy Connolly, Sean Connery, John Cleese and Michael Caine.

    Perhaps the most outstanding part of the show, in terms of demonstrating an ability to change voices and nuances, he does a medley of famous singers including The Bee Gees, Neil Diamond, Sammy Davis Jnr., Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Tom Jones, Julio 'Ignauseous', Bob Dylan dueting with Elvis Presley and Joe Cocker with a very different "You Can Leave Your Hat On". Can you imagine Sylvester Stallone, Rod Stewart and Van Morrison lilting "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" or Louis Armstrong, Willie Nelson and The Muppets doing "What A Wonderful World"? You'll believe it when you hear it. If he went to a shrink, he'd have to pay a group rate.

    Danny has opened shows for some exceptional acts in his time. People like Rick Nelson ("Hello Mary Lou"), Don McLean ("American Pie"), Mary Wilson of the Supremes, jazz singer Nancy Wilson, Broadway legend and songwriter Anthony Newley ("Candy Man", "What Kind Of Fool Am I"), the late Peter Allen ("I Go To Rio"), The Little River Band ("Reminiscing", "Help Is On Its Way"), even Tiny Tim ("Tiptoe Through The Tulips"), "The Big O": Roy Orbison and a host of national and international acts. One of the highlights of Danny's career was sharing the stage with some of Australia's leading entertainers in a personal tribute honouring Sammy Davis Jnr. at the Sydney Convention Center for Sam's work with the Variety Club. Meeting one of the all-time greats was truly humbling and inspirational.

    Danny has worked for various national and international corporations such as: Qantas Airways, Ansett Airlines, Air New Zealand, British Airways, Carlton & United Breweries, Castlemaine Fourex Beers, Lion Nathan Breweries, Toyota, Mazda, Ford Motor Company, Volvo, Mercedes- Benz, General Motors Holden, McDonald's, K.F.C., Pizza Hut, Coca-Cola, Visacard, American Express, A variety of Insurance Companies, Banks, Medical Associations, Building Corporations, Educational Centres, Government Bodies includng Local, State and Federal, and Chambers of Commerce.

    He has worked in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Singapore, Honk Kong, Japan, England and throughout America tailoring his act for the various companies he entertains. He has an affinity with Sporting events because of his athletic background especially golf where he has mixed with entertainers, celebrities, golfing pros and heads of companies equally, playing the pro-ams and providing the entertainment at the prize-givings and dinners.

    Danny currently lives with his wife in Southern California expanding his cultural and entertainment horizons at the same time.
