The Lincoln Lodge presents Dan Telfer

Dan Telfer is a lugubrious sprite who wrote and performed comedy in Chicago for 15 years before moving to LA. He has appeared on popular podcasts such as Comedy Bang Bang, Jordan, Jesse Go!, and Doug Loves Movies. He's toured as an opener for Maria Bamford, Brian Posehn and Patton Oswalt. You may have noticed his CD EP Fossil Record as a split release with Greg Proops and Paul F. Tompkins, or when his debut full length CD Tendrils of Ruin broke into the Top 5 of iTunes' Comedy section. In 2011, he performed at the Chicago Just For Laughs Festival's Best of the Fest show, the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival's Talk of the Fest show, and the coveted New Faces of Comedy showcase of both festivals. His writing has appeared in Paste Magazine, The Onion, The A.V. Club, and the official book based on the TV show Mad Men: The Illustrated World. Yet he is perhaps known best for his stand-up chunk "The Best Dinosaur," which became a runaway viral video hit and was mentioned in Time magazine.
