   Dan Telfer's Comedian Bio
BioWhat’s up, MySpace nerd? I’m also a nerd, and a comedian. I’ve been acting, writing plays, and performing improv comedy in Chicago for over 10 years, and these days it's mostly stand-up comedy. I’m a performer and a producer for Chicago Underground Comedy, and I’m often seen around town at places like The Lakeshore Theater, The Lincoln Lodge, and the Belmont Burlesque Revue. Can you handle my terrifyingly literate references? If not, that’s cool, I mostly have no idea what I’m talking about.

I’m not a "code nerd", but here’s a super secret message for those of you who are:

Thank you for joining my friends list. I am trying to get a lot of friends together as I will soon be playing in other states. I wanted to make sure that I kept in touch with everyone and here seems to be the best place. Please feel free to check out my band(s) sites as well. Baked Monkey and Knot Limited are on my friends list and have more original music with my influence(s). Thanks again.
Love to all,

Congrats on your after-baby-gigs!

Oh my! I bet you're tired! The madness produced by the lack of sleep from said beautiful baby is sure to make you more funny. I read that. I sware. Science news or the enquirer or something.

So.... you like my cover?

That is one cute baby, Mr. Telfer.
You know where a great place to raise children is?

Portland Oregon.

I hope you're all doing well.

Nice baby!




So if you feel like you need to get rid of a cat to make room for the baby, I'll come over and help you smash them.

I'm happy you were finally able to make a baby with someone, even if it wasn't me. My womb was a rocky place where your seed could find no purchase, and I've grown to accept that.
Congrats!
