Daniel Bruschweiler
Square Peg, Bonus Hole
In a world where anyone can be anything…There is a comedy show that identifies as hilarious.
Join Daniel Bruschweiler for Square Peg, Bonus Hole, a stand-up hour that tackles masculinity, relationships, and navigating the world as one of the internet’s favourite punching bags: a millennial (with some trans stuff thrown in, but luckily no one hates trans people).
This show is for anyone who feels like they don’t fit the narrative, don’t fit the box or just don’t feel like they are enough. Ever felt insecure about the size of your penis? Don’t worry. Daniel doesn’t even have one.
Strap in (or strap on, in Daniel’s case) for a night of absurd, self-aware comedy that strips away society’s expectations and asks the big questions:
Who are we supposed to be?
Who are we really? And why does Daniel, deep down, just wants to be Jason Statham with hair.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Daniel Bruschweiler is a bold, sharp, and unapologetically funny trans male stand-up comedian based in Brisbane. Known for his hard-earned beard, dry delivery, and fearless honesty, Daniel brings lived experience, sharp self-awareness, and a finely tuned sense of chaos to the stage, turning trauma into punchlines and awkward truths into big laughs. Turns out coping mechanisms can pay off.
A proud Queensland loyalist (one of the few queer comedians who refused to move to Melbourne out of love for XXXX Gold, winning sporting teams, and one deeply contaminated brown river), Daniel has rapidly built a strong reputation on the local comedy scene. He placed runner-up in the RAW Comedy State Finals two years in a row, cementing himself as a compelling and consistent voice in Australian stand-up.
While his work is grounded in his experience as a trans man, Daniel’s comedy isn’t about lecturing or labels. His sharp observations, self-deprecating humour, and instinct for absurdity have seen him win over rooms of all kinds—queer, straight, corporate, festival, and everything in between.
In 2025, Daniel delivered a smash-hit show at MELT Festival, where his storytelling and lived experience connected powerfully with audiences, earning strong word-of-mouth and critical praise. Whether performing in clubs, festivals, or curated spaces, Daniel’s comedy is confronting, cathartic, and consistently funny. Daniel is a rising creative voice committed to telling stories that feel specific but land universally. As a live performer, he’s steadily carving out his place as one of Brisbane’s most exciting and authentic comedic talents.
