Dan LaMorte

Dan LaMorte is a distinct voice in stand-up comedy—and not just because he's on the spectrum. He began his comedy career at 19, after a college baseball injury ended his athletic ambitions. Dan made appearances on Fox’s Red Eye, AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live, Getting Doug with High, and, as he jokes, nearly every drive-thru in the Tri-state area. His two albums, Not Enough Pieces and Infect Me Once, remain popular on SiriusXM and have collectively earned over a million streams on Pandora. By 23, Dan had built a promising comedy résumé—and a 354-pound body. But a diagnosis of fatty liver disease sparked a dramatic lifestyle change. Over the next three years, he lost more than 185 pounds, became an ultra runner (competing in races longer than marathons), and inspired countless fans to pursue their own wellness journeys. The transformation may have reshaped his life, but his sharp, self-aware humor remains unchanged. In 2023, Dan was selected as a New Face at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. He followed it up with a standout Don’t Tell Comedy set, released in 2024. Based in New York City, Dan is a regular at the Comedy Cellar, The Stand, and other top clubs—continuing to bring his unique perspective, resilience, and punchlines to audiences nationwide.
