ABOUT
Dan Donohue is a comedian, actor, and writer from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He cut his
teeth as a stand up in Boston before moving to Los Angeles where he regularly performs at
the city’s iconic comedy venues. He can be seen throughout the rest of the country, headlining
clubs, seminal indie rooms, and occasionally featuring for comedian and actor Jon Rudnitsky.
He has also opened for Ryan Hamilton and late legend Norm MacDonald, among other names.
Dan hosts the podcast Danswers, formerly co-hosted Basket of Cats (with comedian Benton
Ray), and is a frequent guest on Soberish with Jessa Reed. He can also be heard on A Closer
Look, The Todd Glass Show, Cutting Weight, and more.
In 2020, Dan began to amass a major following on Tik Tok and Instagram by telling jokes while
washing dishes. He continues to develop his comedy in various formats for his rapidly growing
social media audience.

Before becoming a full-time comic, Dan worked as a night club security guard, construction
worker, carpenter, physical therapy aid, restaurant runner, bike shop repairman, graveyard
worker, tech assemblyman, and in waste management. Naturally, his hobbies now include
yoga, meditating, and hiking. He still dabbles as a personal fitness and boxing trainer in his
spare time and can sometimes be seen yelling at his famous clientele at an outdoor gym in
Hollywood.
