(Singer-Songwriter/Playwright/Activist)

DAN FISHBACK is a playwright, songwriter, performer in the band ⁠Cheese On Bread⁠, and host of the podcast ⁠Sick Day with Dan Fishback⁠. He founded ⁠The Helix Queer Performance Network⁠ in 2013, and directed its programming through 2020. Fishback’s musical ⁠The Material World⁠ was called one of the Top Ten Plays of 2012 by Time Out New York. His play You Will Experience Silence was called “sassier and more fun than Angels in America” by the Village Voice. Also a performing songwriter, Fishback has released several albums, both solo and with his band ⁠Cheese On Bread⁠, which dropped "⁠The One Who Wanted More⁠" in 2018, along with a video for their song ⁠Bad Friend⁠, directed by Stephen Winter and featuring Justin Vivian Bond. With the Helix Queer Performance Network, Fishback created La MaMa Experimental Theater's annual series ⁠La MaMa's Squirts: Generations of Queer Performance⁠. He is developing a new musical, Rubble Rubble, which was the focus of public controversy in 2017, when a Zionist institution ⁠canceled the play’s first reading in response to Fishback’s support for Palestinian human rights⁠.

Fishback has had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for over a decade, and partially supports himself through his ⁠Patreon⁠.
