About

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. Attell used this prestigious degree to land amazing jobs in the food service industry - as a waiter. At night he would hit the "open mic" circuit in Manhattan. After many years, 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." But if you ask Attell, he'd say, "I'm just trying to get some laughs and sell some drinks."

In 2001, Attell used this love of booze and laughter to create and host the hit series, "Insomniac with Dave Attell" for Comedy Central.   A travelogue show in which Attell goes from city to city looking for late-night fun, The New York Times called the show, "a doubly rare beast, a comedy without rancor and a travel show about the virtues of the American underdog." To Attell, the Insomniac show is more of a cross between "Girls Gone Wild" and "Cops".

After four seasons of "Insomniac," Attell taped several hour-long "Insomniac" specials overseas in Japan, Germany, England and Brazil. Once back in the states, he headed out on a thirty-five city theatre tour ending in Vegas, where he hosted a two-hour special for Comedy Central featuring Sean Rouse, Greg Geraldo and Dane Cook, some of the biggest comics in the country.

Dave 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," "Last Call with Carson Daly" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart". He also appeared in Chris Rock's cult film "Pootie Tang". Other television credits include FOX's "Arrested Development," NBC's "Ed," HBO, Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" and his own half-hour stand-up special "Comedy Central Presents Dave Attell".

When not on the road, Attell makes regular appearances at the Comedy Cellar in New York City.

    Dave was awesome!

    by Ryan on 12/18/23The Walker Theatre - Chattanooga

    I'm so glad I went to his show, he totally killed it with his standup and improv. Dave is down to earth, he even took pictures with a lot of the audience afterwards. Good dude!

    A classic comic

    by Zellywelly on 12/4/23Sound Waves at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City - Atlantic City

    I got a headache from laughing so much. It was really one of a kind and non stop laughter. He’s one of the funniest comedians I’ve seen perform in a long time and I’m glad I got the chance to see him.

    Short show, big laughs

    by Tina R on 12/4/23Sound Waves at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City - Atlantic City

    So funny, we laughed the whole time! It was an hour and half, which was fine by me, but we laughed the entire time. Loved his insomniac show, glad he came around.
