She then performed her second solo show, The Freewheelin' Cariad Lloyd to critical acclaim at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival, despite featuring a character based on a moomin.

"A truly brilliant performer" ★★★★ – Broadway Baby
DANIELLE WARD
Danielle Ward started performing stand-up in 2004. In 2006 she won the Time Out Best Newcomer award and was given the prestigious BBC Radio Writers Bursary – one of only five women to hold it in its 30 year history. Danielle took a break from stand up to concentrate on writing, though she did go on tour with Robin Ince's Book Club where she pretended to be Andy McNab, Adam Ant, David Bowie or Heather Mills.
2014 saw Danielle start performing as alter-ego Dani Frankenstein, described as a white, female, East Midlands Kanye West (by her). After a ridiculously successful short run at the Free Fringe in Edinburgh she started performing as D-Frank on the live circuit.
