Who Is Dan Bialek?
I've been a standup comedian in Los Angeles for the past five years and have performed in and/or hosted over 1,500 shows in that time. I've written for the National Lampoon, ESPN and NBC. I just finished hosting two weekly web series for NBC's Dotcomedy.com.
A few months ago out of boredom I started making short video blogs in my computer room. People seemed to like the vlogs. Eventually they caught on and received millions of hits on Myspace and YouTube. A few of my more popular ones are Worst Toilet Paper Ever, I'll Fight A Blind Girl With A Knife In The Shower and Bookshelves For Jesus.
While pursuing a career as a comedian I have also held, quit and been fired from dozens of random low-paying and oftentimes soul-draining jobs. A few of them include: elementary summer school teacher, substitute high school teacher in South Central Los Angeles, reporter and city editor for a small weekly newspaper in Hermosa Beach, security guard at the Warner Brothers movie lot, stock room clerk at Abercrombie & Fitch (blaring techno music for $8 an hour), book store cashier, E3 trade show emcee and product demonstrator, focus group participant (I got kicked out for talking too much), limosuine driver (I got fired after the first night), doorman and cover booth cashier at the World Famous Comedy Store in Hollywood, plus many, many more.
