In 2003, Attell co-headlined with Lewis Black (“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”) on a successful national stand-up tour, “COMEDY CENTRAL Live Starring Dave Attell and Lewis Black,” which also featured comedian Mitch Hedberg.

Born in Queens and raised in Long Island, Attell is highly respected in the industry, the media, as well as with his audiences. Attell has made numerous appearances on the “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Late Night with Conan O?Brien,” “Last Call with Carson Daly,” “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Howard Stern Show.” He has also appeared in the Chris Rock film “Pootie Tang.” Other television credits include FOX’s “Arrested Development,” NBC’s “Ed,” Drew Carey’s “Mr. Vegas All-Star Party” on HBO, COMEDY CENTRAL’s “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn” and his own half-hour stand-up special “COMEDY CENTRAL Presents Dave Attell.”
