Book Dan

I started doing stand-up in college, and now that I’m older I realize I never should have left! I’ve performed at colleges like Marist, Columbia, and my alma mater, Bard College. I do a full hour of stand-up and play funny interactive games with students. Below you can find testimonials.

In the past, I’ve also run workshops with students to help them develop their own short routines. After the workshop, a few students are invited to perform before I do my set. It’s a fun way for kids to try their hand at stand-up. Let me know, and we can talk about setting up a pre-show workshop.

What Students and Staff Have Said About Dan's Shows

Nolan DeGraff, Comedian Chairperson, Marist College class of 2017

"Dan Wilbur graced Marist College's campus late March in the year 2017. It will go down in collegiate history as definitely above average. 10 out of 10 would recommend."

Helen Armstrong, Editor, Loco Mag

“The Great Room was warm with laughter on the cold night of March 3rd thanks to the Student Programming Board and Dan Wilbur, a comedian whose work has appeared in College Humor, McSweeney’s, and the Onion… Much of his comedy was based on self-deprecation, personal anecdotes, and references to popular culture such as Love Actually, House of Cards, and Scandal. At several points, Wilbur poked fun at the audience’s response to certain jokes, which was well received by the students. Afterward, a significant portion of the crowd lined up to buy his book. When asked how he felt about the night, Wilbur said, “I feel great. There was great rapport. But I like to be comfortable onstage. I hope that people felt like they could respond to me. I think I have an inviting face – some say punchable.”
