Overview

I use she/her pronouns (which I know is confusing, because I have "they face.") I perform stand up all around the Midwest, but primarily in Chicago. I have a degree in Creative Writing, which is why most of my jokes sound like stories. My content centers on queerness, parenting, dating, and mostly, my dog.

Edgy, smart comedic mom

Dana is a professional through and through -- funny and great to work with.
Dana has a style of humor that is slightly deadpan, but with a lot of underlying sass and smart humor.
She is fun to watch, engaging to listen to and makes you laugh and think at the same time.

Hired as: Comedian, Comedy Show, Stand-Up Comedian
