Dan Alten comes to BHAM!
COMED SEE THE MAN!
Dan Alten is a nationally touring comedian from Louisville, Kentucky, known for his unique blend of intelligence and goofiness. He's a prolific "DIY" performer, having spent over a decade touring the country and doing more than 200 shows a year in a variety of venues, from comedy clubs to punk basements and art galleries.
A show with Dan Alten is a night of "surreal nonsense" and "tight night surreal fun." He's been described as being "like if The Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes." His humor is quirky and twitchy, and he has a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip—without the drugs. He has recorded two albums, written a zine, and even filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime show that, according to him, was "lost to history."
Alten is known for his ability to connect with a crowd, using the energy of the room to guide his performance. He's also opened for well-known comedians and performers such as Kyle Kinane, Bobcat Goldthwait, Rory Scovel, and Sarah Sherman from SNL. If you're looking for a stand-up experience that's both clever and chaotic, Dan Alten's show is for you. And if you don't enjoy it? He promises he'll let you mud wrestle him after the show.
