Dan LaMorte is a unique stand-up comedian, and that’s not just because he’s on the spectrum. Dan was chosen as one of the prestigious New Faces at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal in 2023. His Don’t Tell Comedy debut premiered in the summer of 2024. Dan has released two albums, Not Enough Pieces & Infect Me Once, both are popular plays on SiriusXM and have amassed over a million streams on Pandora. Dan appeared on the Tamron Hall show on ABC with his grandmother after a video they made together about how she ranks her grandchildren went viral. He has also appeared on Fox’s Red Eye and AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live. When not on the road, Dan is a fixture of the New York City comedy scene, and has been for the better part of a decade. You can regularly see him at the Comedy Cellar and The Stand comedy clubs.
Dan’s career started young, at 19 years old, after suffering a career-ending injury as a college baseball player. As his star rose in comedy, so did his weight. By the time he was 23 years old, Dan had built an impressive resume, unfortunately, he had also built a 354-pound body. But that year everything changed. After a doctor told him he had fatty liver disease, Dan decided to ditch the fat life and find the athletic drive again. Over the course of the next three years, he would go on to lose over 185 pounds, become an ultra runner (races longer than marathon distance), and inspire many of his fans to pursue their own weight loss journeys along the way.

We would love to go
Would love to attend!
I love his story. It would be so fun to see him at Mission Theater!
Canadians are super funny–just look at Jim Carey and Tom Green haha. I can’t wait to see what’s up with Dan LaMorte as I’ve never heard of him but I’m sure I’ll crack up and order myself a few beers 😉
He isn’t Canadian, but he is hilarious. Well worth getting tickets.
Dan, eh?! F yeah.
I’d love to see this show.
Sounds so fun!
I would live to see him in person! While he is most famous for being an autistic comedian, I really appreciate his openness about his weight loss journey & long distance running.
Don’t know much about Canadian comedians and want to learn more.
I’m so interested!
Hilarious and would be a great show!
Sounds like a fun Thursday night to me!
Dan’s the man! Would love to see him at Mission.
Sounds like a very interesting guy with a well-rounded sense of humor. Would love to go!
I’m a massive fan of Dan’s and have been encouraging him to come to Portland, and am just so glad it’s happening! Would love to see him with my wife!
Right on!
