DAN CUMMINS

	June 23-26

With a knack for writing crisp, absurd jokes, and captivating audiences with his laid-back signature delivery, Dan Cummins is standing out amongst his stand-up peers. In 2005, Dan introduced himself to the national comedy scene by performing in the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival’s New Faces showcase. Soon after, in 2006, Dan made his national television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and then made his Comedy Central debut on Live at Gotham.

Dan kept the ball rolling in 2007 by starting off the year with performances at Comedy Central’s South Beach Comedy Festival that would lead to taping his first 1/2 hour special with the network; Comedy Central Presents Dan Cummins, later in the year. In Nashville, Dan then performed at the National Association for Campus Activities National Showcase, and had a set memorable enough to become the most requested comedic performer of the event. All in all, Dan performed at 110 campuses from Maine to Washington during the 2007-08 school year alone.

2008 has been even better, with Comedy Central being so impressed with his 1/2 hour special that they put it on their season premiere. Also, Dan was recently on prime time NBC, reaching the nationally televised semi-finals of the sixth season of Last Comic Standing where he received a standing ovation from many in the audience. Additionally, Dan will be releasing his first national comedy CD, with many of his favorite jokes from several TV appearances, tentatively titled, Things I’ve Thought About.  With Chuck Watkins
