Dave Attell

Dave Attell’s comedy is the kind that sneaks up on you—sharp, unfiltered and always a little bit smarter than you expect. If you’ve caught his late-night sets or remember the glory days of Insomniac, you know he’s a master at wringing laughs from the city’s underbelly. Attell’s material is never precious, but it’s never lazy either. He’s got a knack for finding the absurd in the everyday, and he delivers it with a timing that’s all his own. This show is a rare chance to see a comic who’s as comfortable riffing with the front row as he is dismantling his own punchlines. If you appreciate stand-up that’s quick, unsentimental and just a little bit dangerous, Attell’s set is worth carving out a night for. Just don’t expect him to hold anything back.
