January 6th! Be there!

Comedy Bang Bang!

In case you missed it, I was on Episode 135 of Comedy Bang Bang, and you can listen here!

Also, my first video game review was recently published by The Onion. I reviewed a Lord of the Rings game and did not like it, so I tried to make my frustration as articulate and erudite as possible out of respect for the disrespected source material. Check the review out here!

LA shows: Check it out!

Please repost this poster, link it, etcetera! I'm job hunting out in LA and can use any attention I can get. These are awesome, awesome shows I get to do.



And I'm serious about there being "more throughout the week." There will be surprise shows I'm not allowed to talk about but are 100% in the books.

Pop Pilgrims!

The web series I co-host for the Onion AV Club, Pop Pilgrims is now live! Most of mine have already "dropped" so to speak, but there's a new one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a few more weeks. My Chicago episodes will be some of the last to air, so there's still some new stuff to come.

If you haven't heard me ramble about it on my social websites, the premise is that I fly around the country to different pop culture landmarks from film, TV, music, and literature and interview an expert on the topic. Like the house from Texas Chainsaw Massacre outside of Austin, or the streets of Treme in New Orleans.

I only host half the episodes, so if you want to see those specifically check out Memphis, New Orleans, Austin, Seattle, Portland, Eugene, and Chicago. Although I do the introductory voice-over for every episode! That was neat.

Here's one of my absolute favorites, when I talked to Cobain friend and biographer Charles Cross outside Kurt's former home. Seattle may have been my favorite city to visit- my trip to Fantagraphics headquarters is the second one I embedded here. Holy shit did I consider dropping comedy to apply to be a comic book publishing intern. For a second.


Seattle: Kurt Cobain Park

Tour, Now With Tour Dates!

One of the cooler parts is going to be working with local comedians. Some I've never met, and some are still being confirmed. But in Austin I my opener will be Kerri Lendo (a fellow opener for Maria Bamford and local rockstar) and in Seattle my opener will be Mike Drucker (Nintendo writer and former SNL writer). So these openers might actually be better than me! Hooray! The comedy nerd wins! More details are in my Google Calendar in the left margin of dantelfer.com. And Curious Comedy Theater in Portland is run by my old Chicago improv friends Stacey Hallal and Bob Ladewig, so I am beyond thrilled to work in the space they've created out there.

Erin English did a fucking amazing job on this poster. I cannot fucking believe it. Visit her site or follow her on Twitter, she's an insane dinosaur-obsessed Canadian genius.

Tour!

So as you may have heard me announce on social media sites, I will soon be hosting a new web series for the Onion AV Club. This means I will be going on a mini-tour whilst I travel and shoot the series. Keep an eye on my calendar here, as well as Twitter and my Facebook fan page, I'll be announcing dates for that soon.

Also, if you're down there in the Southeast, I'll be opening for Patton Oswalt in Athens, Georgia at the 40 Watt. Where he recorded his first album! Pretty fantastic. I just got to open for him at the C2E2 with Comedy Death Ray and it was a ridiculous good time. I found the 501st Legion and they brought me out in wookiee cuffs to the Imperial March. 1400 nerds went apeshit. Here's some photos of that show!
