Dan Smith started comedy over a decade ago while attending Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. After graduating with a degree in Business, he became a licensed medical underwriter. He continued to do comedy all along, and realized that stand up was where his heart was. He eventually quit his job and made an impact on the comedy scene. Dan was given the ’host’ spot at an established room in his hometown of Worcester, Ma. every weekend. Dan hosted this rowdy room for almost two years, honing his sharp wit and crowd-play skills. In 1995, he entered and won The Funniest Comic in Boston contest sponsored by HBO. And then a few years after his start, he picked up and moved his chunky, Jewish tuchas to Los Angeles. Since then, he hasn't looked back. He has performed in 49 of our great states (he hates Alaska and everything they stand for). Dan has also done TWENTY military comedy tours. He’s performed for the US military in over 30 countries around the world including Iceland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Korea, Japan, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Since living in Los Angeles, several independent film projects, such as The Whipper (a short film written and directed by Aisha Tyler), as well as multiple television appearances, are to his credit. These appearances include "Drew Carey", Talk Soup, Friday Night Videos, the new Star Search, and "Loco Comedy Jam". He has had some success behind the camera as well, having written for the television shows "Blind Date" and "The 5th Wheel"; and most recently, was a producer for the tv show "EX-treme Dating", hosted by Jillian Barberie. He also spent four years writing jokes for Us Weekly Magazine (as a member of the Fashion Police). Dan still resides in Los Angeles, where he performs in every club in Hollywood, and will continue to perform for United States soldiers around the world.
