Who is Donny Dunn in Baby Reindeer?
The comedian who served the free cup of tea · Donny's World
Donny Dunn (The comedian who served the free cup of tea) is a character in Baby Reindeer, part of Donny's World. Donny Dunn tends bar in Camden and dies nightly at open mics — a comedian whose act is a costume over a person who hasn't recovered from something he can't yet say aloud. One afternoon he gives a crying woman a free cup of tea, and the kindness becomes the catalyst: Martha's emails arrive by the dozen, then the hundred, sent from her iPhone (she has no iPhone). The series' nerve is Donny's complicity — the part of him that needs the attention examines itself on camera, confession by confession.
