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 be described as "very adult" has earned him the reputation as a "comic's comic."
This past year, HBO gave Dave a hour long special called "Captain Miserable." Attell also used his 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 tour ending in Las Vegas, where he hosted a two hour special for Comedy Central featuring Sean Rouse, Greg Giraldo, and Dane Cook.
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, Later 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 "Arrested Development," NBC's "Ed," "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn," and a half hour stand-up special "Comedy Central Presents Dave Attell."
