Dan LaMorte

Dan LaMorte is a unique stand-up comedian, and that’s not just because he’s on the spectrum. His career started young, at 19 years old, after suffering a career-ending injury as a college baseball player. As his star rose in comedy, so did his weight. He appeared on Fox’s Red Eye, AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live, Getting Doug with High, and almost every drive-thru in the Tri-state area. He released two albums, Not Enough Pieces & Infect Me Once, both are still popular plays on SiriusXM and have amassed over a million streams on Pandora. By the time he was 23 years old, Dan had built an impressive resume, unfortunately, he had also built a 354-pound body.

But that year everything changed. After a doctor told him he had fatty liver disease, Dan decided to ditch the fat life and find the athletic drive again. Over the course of the next three years, he would go on to lose over 185 pounds, become an ultra runner (races longer than marathon distance), and inspire many of his fans to pursue their own weight loss journeys along the way. He may have lost the weight, but his sense of humor is still fully intact. In 2023, Dan was chosen as one of the prestigious New Faces at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. In 2024, Dan released a popular short special with Don’t Tell Comedy, on YouTube. When not on the road, Dan is a fixture of the New York City comedy scene, and has been for over a decade; you can regularly see him at the Comedy Cellar and The Stand comedy clubs.

The New York Times said Adam Strauss "mines a great deal of laughter from disabling pain," the Chicago Tribune called him "arrestingly honest and howlingly funny" and Time Out called his solo show The Mushroom Cure "riveting; a true-life tour de force." He won the New York Fringe Festival's Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance and the Leffe Beer Craft Your Character storytelling competition. He's lost too many things to list here.

Danny Palmer was nominated for best comic at the Los Angeles Comedy Festival and auditioned for Comedy Central's Up Next segment of the New York Comedy Festival. In 2013 he came in first place in his Laughing Devil festival quarter final show (of 12 comics) and came in 3rd place overall out of 45 comedians selected from across the country. He's also done the Breakout Artist Series at Caroline's Comedy Club in Times Square. In the past few years he has performed in over 15 festivals including New York Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Los Angeles, Boston, Austin's Out of Bounds, Atlanta's Laughing Skull, New Orleans, NYC's Laughing Devil, NYC's Stand Up 360, Atlanta's Black Box, and NYC's Devil Fest Competition.
