Headliner:
Dan Alten
Dan Alten is a full time comedian based out of Louisville, Kentucky, traveling this great nation bringing his intelligently surreal nonsense to the country’s best dive bars, fancy theaters, punk basements, & comedy clubs. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Rory Scovel, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, DJ Dougpund, TV weirdo David Liebe Hart, rapper Open Mike Eagle, a lotta random punk bands, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has released 2 DIY albums, headlined shows in 30 states, filmed a pilot for a standup show with Amazon, and is allegedly in the Guiness Book of World Records for participating in an 8 day continuous comedy show. Come laugh, if you don’t like him you can spit on his car.
