About Dane Cook
Dane Jeffrey Cook (born March 18, 1972) is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He is known for his use of observational, often vulgar, and sometimes dark comedy. He has released five comedy albums: Harmful If Swallowed (2003), Retaliation (2005), Vicious Circle (2006), Rough Around the Edges: Live from Madison Square Garden (2007), and Isolated Incident (2009).

Cook was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the second son of Donna Jean and George F. Cook. He grew up in a Catholic family of Irish descent. He overcame his shyness in his junior year of high school, when he began acting and doing stand-up comedy. After graduating from high school, he studied graphic design in college as a back-up plan. In 1990, Cook began performing stand-up in comedy clubs. In 1994, Cook moved to New York City and began performing. Two years later, he moved to Los Angeles. His big break came in 1998 when he appeared on Comedy Central's Premium Blend.
In 2003, Cook released his first CD/DVD, Harmful If Swallowed, which is certified platinum. He released his second CD/DVD in 2005, Retaliation, which went double platinum and made Cook the first comic in 27 years to have an album in the top 5 on the Billboard charts. On April 15, 2005, Cook performed his first HBO Special entitled Vicious Circle. On December 3, 2005, Cook hosted Saturday Night Live. On November 12, 2007, Cook became the second comic to sell out Madison Square Garden's large arena space after Andrew Dice Clay accomplished this feat in 1990. On January 1, 2008, Cook broke Dave Chappelle's endurance record by performing on stage for seven hours.
