DAVID DYER

My name is David Dyer and I’ve been performing stand-up comedy all over the country for about 32 years. Typically, website  bios contain information about who I’ve worked with, the shows I’ve written for, a list of TV and radio credits, the specific venues I’ve performed at, blah…blah…blah. I’m not going to waste your time.  I will tell you this…during my three decades as a comedian, I’ve gotten pretty good at this.  I’ve performed in some of the s#$%&iest places you can imagine and also, some of the very best.  I’ve played for every type of crowd from Credit Union employees during their annual Holiday Party to a room full of 400 angry people in Birmingham, AL who couldn’t get their food fast to an outdoor amphitheatre full of 5,000 people.  

I’ve dealt with difficult bookers, faced mountains of rejection on a nearly daily basis, waited weeks, months, years to hear back from club owners only to be told “no”.  And I’ve survived.   The reason I’ve survived is because there is nothing… NOTHING… like performing live comedy. And after all these years, I still love it.  The feedback is immediate and just. If you’re good and they like you, you’ll know it.  If you’re not good…well, don’t post about it.  For 60 minutes a night, I get to take you away from the other 10,020 minutes of the week and get you to relax and forget about the daily grind.  That’s my job! It’s like a verbal massage except the “happy ending” usually involves some sort of carbonated beverage shooting from your nasal passages.  What do you want for $15?

I’m also a firefighter. I love that job, too.
