Dat Phan February 18th 7:00pm

THE ORIGINAL WINNER OF NBC’S LAST COMIC STANDING - DAT PHAN

Dat Phan is the Original Winner of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and is a headlining comedian touring live across the U.S. He has made numerous TV and movie appearances including “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, “Comedy Central Presents,” “The Family Guy” voiceover, Kong: Skull Island, Hawaii Five-O, and “Cellular”.

Dat Phan was born in Saigon, Vietnam and immigrated with his mother to San Diego, CA. He suffered through financial hardships most of his childhood. After 9/11 he realized life was short and decided to go for his dream to pursue comedy full time. Moving to LA he had to live out of his car and even after being robbed at gunpoint he wouldn’t stop pursuing his dream. Dat answered phones for The Improv in Hollywood during the day and tried to get as much stage time as possible at night; this meant he often went on well after midnight when crowds were often more drunk than coherent.

Later, Dat took the risk and auditioned for the experimental, comedy based show produced by NBC that would launch his career. The rest is history as he was named the funniest person in America on August 5, 2003. Dat’s culturally insightful comedy inspects ridiculous stereotypes, and shares his experience of being a regular American guy with a Vietnamese heritage. His youthful energy and truly unique life experiences, including all the tough times, are combined to create the message of living your dreams and reaching out for the stars. Dat Phan’s mission is to bring a more positive portrayal of Asian-Americans to mainstream entertainment and Hollywood. “We want to be seen as more than just martial artists, or bad stereotype token roles in American TV & Movies.” Dat Phan has been included in The Smithsonian Institution’s exhibition of The Top 10 Most Influential Vietnamese-American Individuals.

The DVD “Dat Phan Live” was released in January 2010 and is available from Amazon.com. Dat’s CDs, “You Touch, You Buy“ and "Born in Saigon...California" are available on iTunes . He has also appeared in tv & films such as “Sake-Bomb” and “Hungover Games”, and “108 Stitches” are available on Amazon. His television work also includes "Bones", "The Last Ship", "Scorpion", and "Startup."
