Dave Attell

Dave Attell is one of the most influential and flat-out funniest stand-ups alive, and 2024 proved it yet again. His new Netflix special, HOT CROSS BUNS, premiered in March to huge numbers and rave reviews, reminding everyone why he’s a comedian’s comedian and a fan favorite.
Attell first became a cult icon as the host of Comedy Central’s classic INSOMNIAC WITH DAVE ATTELL, a show that cemented his status as a late-night legend. He’ll next appear in Hulu’s LIFE & BETH alongside Amy Schumer, Michael Rapaport, and Michael Cera. Fans can also catch him on Netflix in BUMPING MICS with Jeff Ross, and on HBO’s CRASHING with Pete Holmes. His Showtime series DAVE’S OLD PORN, his Comedy Central series DAVE ATTELL’S COMEDY UNDERGROUND, and his acclaimed hour special ROAD WORK (now streaming on Paramount+) all showcase the razor-sharp wit and no-nonsense style that made him a star.
Attell’s film credits include Chris Rock’s cult favorite POOTIE TANG, FUNNY PEOPLE, SCARY MOVIE 4, LOS ENCHILADAS, and Amy Schumer’s TRAINWRECK and I FEEL PRETTY. On television, he’s appeared everywhere—from THE SIMPSONS, BOB’S BURGERS, and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, to INSIDE AMY SCHUMER, DIFFICULT PEOPLE, THE JIM GAFFIGAN SHOW, LOUIE, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, and TOUGH CROWD WITH COLIN QUINN.
Entertainment Weekly once named him one of the “25 Funniest People in America,” and he’s been proving them right ever since. When he’s not touring, you can find Attell doing what he does best: crushing at the Comedy Cellar in New York City, where he remains a fixture and a master at work.  Dave can be seen in the upcoming feature IS THIS THING ON?, starring Will Arnett, directed by Bradley Cooper.
