Dave Attell Tickets |
Andrew Dice Clay Tickets |
Dave Attell's initial dive into stand-up comedy is attributed to his indecisiveness as to what he should do after college. In 1987 (the same year he graduated from New York University (NYU) with a degree in communications), like many other fledgling comedians, he worked normal jobs during the day and put in his time at comedy clubs at night. He worked his first gig at Governor's in Long Island and, according to Attell, "totally bombed". After years of finding his voice, he found himself being described as "the comedian's comedian". When working a club, the other comedians on the bill would come in to watch his act. While the audience didn't always follow his up-front delivery, fellow comedians were refreshed by his originality. Attell's material is what one would consider "blue". His point-of-view is that of the everyman, yet slightly imbalanced. He has an affinity for the bizarre, such as midgets and odd sexual encounters (or odd sexual encounters with midgets, depending on which day you catch him). His delivery is punching. Like Mitch Hedberg, his jokes are mostly one-liners, often sloppily delivered with too much force, making them that much funnier. For examples, see the "Quotes" section below. Attell is also notorious for comedically striking down hecklers to the point of embarrassment.
