About Chad Daniels
Chad Daniels (born March 2, 1975, in Fergus Falls, Minnesota) is an American comedian. His albums have reached the top 10 on the Billboard comedy charts three times: No. 2 for 2017's Footprints On The Moon, No. 6 for 2019's Dad Chaniels, and No. 7 for 2014's Natural Selection. As of 2019, his albums have been streamed more than 700 million times, and Footprints on the Moon also reached No. 1 on the iTunes comedy chart. In 2020, Vulture.com called him "one of the great unsung American comedians right now."
Daniels started performing stand-up at an open mic night at ACME Comedy Company in Minneapolis in 1998, which earned him a job as house emcee at the Westward Ho comedy club in Grand Forks, North Dakota. In 2003 he was a finalist in Comedy Central's Laugh Riots competition, and in 2009 he was named Artist of the Year in comedy by Minneapolis alt-weekly City Pages. In 2012 he won the $10,000 grand prize at the Gilda's LaughFest competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and at the Aspen Comedy Festival he won the Comic's Comic award. He hosts the weekly podcasts Middle of Somewhere with Cy Amundson and Pretend Problems with Kelsey Cook.
His 2008 Comedy Central Presents half-hour special was named fifth-best all-time special by viewers in the network's 2010 Stand-Up Showdown, and he has starred in two hour-long specials, 2012's As Is and 2019's Dad Chaniels. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (one of only 13 comics to appear on that version of the show), Conan on TBS, and The Late Late Show with both Craig Kilborn and Craig Ferguson. He has released seven albums across Stand Up! Records and 800 Pound Gorilla Records plus a self-produced debut.
