Why He's On The
Site: Dave Attell is a LEGEND in the NY scene..He's done it
all comedy wise, and his Comedy Central show, Insomniac With
Dave Attell, shows how brilliant and quick-witted he
is...Dave's material is very "cringe" and his
off-kilter delivery enhances his demented observations...His
debut CD entitled Skanks For The Memories, is one of the
funniest audio releases in standup history.
Official Bio:
Comedian Dave Attell is the host and writer of COMEDY CENTRAL's
"Insomniac with Dave Attell." The hit series began in
August 2001 and is a travelogue of after-hours experiences in
cities across the country. The New York Times says,
"'Insomniac' is a doubly rare beast, a comedy without
rancor and a travel show about the virtues of the American
underdog."
Currently, Attell and Lewis Black ("The Daily Show with Jon
Stewart") have teamed for a national tour, which opens in
Dallas, TX on Wednesday, September 10, 2003 and will carry
through to the end of the year. "COMEDY CENTRAL LIVE
