Meet Danielle Clarke-Fisher | Comedian

We had the good fortune of connecting with Danielle Clarke-Fisher and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Danielle, how do you think about risk?
Risk is the spice of life, and it’s absolutely delicious. High risk high reward? Low risk low reward? Either way I’m getting a sweet little reward, and who doesn’t love that?

Being afraid to take a risk, whether in life or career, is an opportunity to be both courageous and gorgeous. After all, who can see you being gorgeous if your ass is sitting the hell at home?

Get outside, breathe it in, and eat it up – and remember the game is never over until you win.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Getting to do comedy and spend time with incredible, funny, talented people is the joy of my life. It’s a privilege to do what I do, and the most valuable thing that I’ve learned on the journey is to let it flow.

Grind culture is a scam, and there’s no way to outwork your duty to care for yourself and others and to do things that make you feel beside yourself with joy.

I believe life should feel like the song “Walking on Sunshine” and never the song “She Works Hard for the Money.” What an absolute nightmare. She works hard? For money? She should be at home playing Sims 4 in her bed, and she’ll get money from using TikTok sounds.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a Brooklyn baby, and I would show my visiting friend all the things I love about BK.

On day one, we would stay in and cook steak with chimichurri. I make it really good. My fire alarm would go off, but that’s all part of the fun. And while we eat, we could talk shit about people I don’t know – I love to do that. Then I would show you my Sims save files, and we could make a puppy pile on my bed, maybe?

For the rest of the week, we would do it up big style. We’d go to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and put flowers in each others hair, to Union Square to buy goat cheese marked not fit for human consumption but it is and it’s delicious, to Mister Sunday at Nowadays so we can see children in strollers surrounded by the day-drunkest people I’ve ever seen. We’d go to a party where all my friends are and laugh and laugh.

In LA, my favorite spot is my best friend Manu’s house. She will make you pasta with chicken and pesto and let you say anything you want. And you can do each other’s makeup on an air mattress in her living room, and what could be better than that?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shout out to The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn! Florence Scovel Shinn had a business throughout the 1920’s and beyond where people ask her to manifest on their behalf, and she later wrote two incredible books on how she manifested for herself and others.

The first is The Game of Life. There’s so much gold in it, but boiled down, it’s about being completely delusional – love – and believing in the best version of yourself and your life and showing up as that person in everything you do.

The other day someone said to me, “I’d like to have a boat someday, and when I do, I’ll buy a captain’s hat.” But that’s backwards – buy the hat today. It will look incredible on you, and why should you deprive yourself and the world of that? Buy the hat and the boat will find you in the most miraculous way.
