Daniel Thrasher carved out his niche on the internet by making piano-based comedy sketches, posted to his YouTube channel (which has amassed nearly half a billion views and 3 millioin subscribers), in which he plays a range of characters. His videos aim to make each viewer’s day “a little bit easier,” often satirizing topics that are relatable for amateur and professional musicians alike. Over time, he has developed a distinct comedic language that resonates with audiences of all ages. A typical Thrasher video switches from wholesome, relatable humor to absurdism to deadpan comedy in the blink of an eye, with Daniel simultaneously playing the straight-man, the funny man, and everyone in between.
