Dan Levy

Why I Participate

On Thursday, June 11th, I will be on the first-ever A CAUSE FOR COMEDY, a live-streamed monthly comedy series, combining nonprofits and comedy together to raise funds and awareness. This months show is going to be at the Hollywood Improv, and 100% net proceeds from tickets are going straight to this months nonprofit, NextAid. In addition to host Ben Morrison (Punk'd), this month's line-up has Dan Levy (Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” “Chelsea Lately,” “The Late Late Show”), Bryan Callen ("MADtv," "Sex and The City"), the beautiful Whitney Cummings ("Chelsea Lately," HBO's "Down and Dirty," "Made of Honor"), Daryl Wright, and a musical act by J Chris Newberg. If you're in LA, come out and watch me at The Improv. Tickets will be able be $10, $20, or $50. The only difference between the tickets is how much benefit NextAid receives. If you're not able to come to the show, no worries, Causecast is letting everyone join in by streaming A CAUSE FOR COMEDY LIVE and FREE via their partner Stickam at ACauseForComedy.org.

About Me

After enrolling in Emerson College in Boston, Dan began performing at open mics and other strange venues—where people were more focused on their beer than what the wannabe comics were saying. As a sophomore in college, Dan was chosen to compete at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO, where he won the title of Funniest College Comedian. Since then Dan has been seen at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and has made TV appearances on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” “Chelsea Lately,” “The Late Late Show,” and “Comedy Central Presents: Dan Levy. He has also hosted four shows on MTV including “Rock Band Battle,” “Your Face or Mine,” “The Reality Show,” and “MTV Spring Break”. With this and the success of his 2008 College Humor series, “The I Have To Go In A Minute Show with Super Host Dan Levy,” Dan’s following has grown to sold out shows at clubs and colleges across the country. Dan’s next big screen appearance will be in the Sony Screen Gems coming-of-age comedy “Mardi Gras,” in theaters this year. He was previously featured in the Happy Madison film “The House Bunny” (but then was cut out) and co-starred in “My Sexiest Year” with Frankie Muniz and Harvey Keitel. Recently, Dan sold the television series “MY LDR” to MTV, which is based on a joke he performed in his stand up routine about how horrific long distance relationships can be. *Dan lives in Los Angeles where he collects sneakers and knives. He understands those are two very weird things to obsess about.
