Damien is an award-winning comedy writer and performer.
Damien St John is a quick-witted and effortlessly likeable comic whose material blends workplace absurdity, family chaos, and small-town charm. Drawing on real-life experiences — from soul-draining corporate redundancy to parenting mishaps — Damien delivers sharp observational comedy with a conversational ease that instantly connects with audiences.
As an emcee, he’s warm, fast on his feet, and naturally interactive, keeping the room energised without ever alienating the crowd. His style is clean but cheeky, mixing British cynicism with gentle self-mockery and a knack for finding the ridiculous in everyday life — whether it’s surviving a Belgian IT job, navigating supermarket high streets, or taking questionable parenting advice from his four-year-old.
Relatable, sharp and a bit self-deprecating, Damien St John finds big laughs in small-town life, parenting chaos and corporate misery — all with easy charm and quick crowd rapport.
