Description

Born in Queens and raised on Long Island, Dave Attell got into stand-up comedy in the late eighties after graduating from New York University with a degree in Film and Television. After many years working the open mic circuit in Manhattan, Attell worked his way up through the club scene onto the road, touring across America as a national headliner and developing a huge following among fans and the industry alike.

Dave Attell was named one of the “25 Funniest People in America” by Entertainment Weekly Magazine. His caustic wit, rapid-fire delivery and his choice of material that can best be described as "very adult" has earned him the reputation as a "comic's comic." In 2001, Attell used this love of booze and laughter to create and host the hit series, "Insomniac with Dave Attell,” which ran until 2004 on Comedy Central.

Attell has made numerous appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Late Night with Conan O'Brien,” “The Howard Stern Show,” “Later with Carson Daly” and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”. He also appeared in Chris Rock’s cult film "Pootie Tang,” on Comedy Central’s "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" and in his own half-hour stand-up special "Comedy Central Presents Dave Attell.”
