Danny Wallace is a British writer, comedian, and television presenter whose books often start from absurd premises that he then commits to with total sincerity. His breakout book Join Me! (2003) describes how he accidentally created a worldwide collective dedicated to performing random acts of kindness. Yes Man (2005) documents what happened when he decided to say yes to every request, invitation, and opportunity for an entire year, and was later turned into a film starring Jim Carrey.
Wallace has continued writing humorous non-fiction, including Are You Dave Gorman? (co-written with Dave Gorman), Danny Wallace and the Centre of the Universe, and Friends Like These. He has also written two novels, Charlotte Street (2011) and Who is Tom Ditto? (2014), both set in London with a comedic but slightly melancholic tone.
His children’s books include the Hamish series, starting with Hamish and the Worldstoppers (2015), about a boy who discovers that time periodically stops for everyone except him and a few others. The series ran to seven books. He has also written standalone children’s books including The Day the Screens Went Blank and The Luckiest Kid in the World.
