Dan Donohue is a comedian, actor, and writer from Cape Cod, MA. He cut his teeth as a stand-up in Boston before moving to Los Angeles where he regularly performs at the city’s iconic comedy venues. He can be seen throughout the country, headlining clubs, seminal indie rooms, and occasionally featuring for comedian and actor Jon Rudnitsky. He has also opened for Ryan Hamilton and late legend Norm MacDonald, among other names.

In 2020, Dan began to amass a major following on TikTok and Instagram by telling jokes while washing dishes. He continues to develop his comedy through innovative formats for a rapidly growing fanbase.
Before becoming a full-time comic, Dan worked as a nightclub security guard, construction worker, carpenter, physical therapy aid, restaurant runner, bike shop repairman, graveyard worker, tech assemblyman, and in waste management. Naturally, his hobbies now include yoga, meditating, and hiking. He still dabbles as a personal fitness and boxing trainer in his spare time and can sometimes be seen yelling at his famous clientele at an outdoor gym in Hollywood.
