Good Stand Up Comedy with Dan Alten & Friends

8:30 Doors and Varsity Bar

$10 in advance / $15 night of show

After the screening of Labyrinth at the Varsity on May 9 Dan Alten headlines another round of After Credits Comedy. Joining him will be drag sensation Lumber Jill and the queen mother of Southern Illinois comedy Ashley Twogood!

Dan Alten is a sprightly comedian with a perfectly blended style of intelligence and goofiness. A DIY performer from Louisville Kentucky. Alten has been traveling the country for more than a decade bringing charm and nonsense to theaters punk basements art galleries beloved comedy clubs and anywhere they will let him touch a microphone.

Performing more than 200 shows a year throughout the United States Alten brings with him a tight night of surreal fun for audiences to enjoy – as if The Ramones were one guy with a mustache a brightly colored shirt and good jokes.

His style is a match for top-notch and well-known acts he's opened for like Kyle Kinane Bobcat Goldthwait Sam Tallent Rory Scovel SNL's Sarah Sherman Johnny Pemberton Hari Kondabolu Open Mike Eagle DJ Doug Pound and David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric. He has also opened for various punk bands with silly names and a guy who once tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd at an open mic.

Dan has so much material that he's recorded two albums written a zine and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history.

He’s funny. You will enjoy him. If not he'll let you mud wrestle him after the show.

Doors and the Varsity Bar open at 8:30 p.m. with the comedy show starting at 9:30.

Tickets are $10 online at TheVarsityCenter.EventBrite.com (see link) or $15 at the door on the night of the show.
