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 best be described as "very adult," has earned him the reputation as a "comic's comic." But if you ask Attell, he'd say, "I'm just trying to get some laughs and sell some drinks." In 2001, Attell used this love of booze and laughter to create and host the hit series, "Insomniac with Dave Attell" for Comedy Central. 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."
Jon Stewart, who came up with Attell on the Village comedy scene, calls him “the funniest man in New York." Dave Attell simply shines as a club comic. His ability to take some of the shock value out of sex and drugs material, and replace it with something a little more abstract, lifts him above comics mining the same subjects.
