Dan Ellison benefitting Rockville Science Center

Dan began his life in a place that may be considered by many to be the basis for much of his strange view of life; Parkersburg, WV. After graduating high school, he moved to the state of Ohio to attend college and received an electrical degree.

While it may have taken him a while to start his comedic career, after stepping on stage in December 1988 it didn’t take him long to discover that this is what he was meant to do for a living. Now, after 34 years and over 2,000,000 miles and performing in 44 states and in over 1,000 clubs across the United States, he has honed his act to a broken beer bottle’s edge.

His comedy reflects his experiences growing up in West Virginia and his BS in Divorce and Phd in Life Studies he earned at the College of Life. Previously, Dan has had the privilege to work with some of the greats, such as Ron White, Alan King, Jim Breuer, Joe Piscopo, Bobcat Goldthwait, DL Hughley! His act can appeal to many different audiences, from whistle clean comedy to some stuff as dirty as any bar will allow. If down to earth humor is what you desire. Dan Ellison is EXACTLY what you need!
