ATL Comic Profile: Dan Weeks

Dan Weeks has been a staple of Atlanta’s local comedy scene since 2006, soaking up stage time at any venue available. His comedy is a transcendental trip through Happyland, making it hard not to laugh at everything he says because he’s amiable even in angst. With material that playfully covers everything from karate dojos in Alpharetta to the brilliance of Animal Planet’s “Shark Week,” his hard-to-take-seriously persona makes even his blue material endearing. By the end of his set you will hurt from laughing with and/or at one of the silliest citizens of the ATL.

ATLien since: 2002

Years of stand-up experence: 4

A lil’ Joke: “I was at the store today and bought a package of 30 condoms, and when I brought them to the counter, the lady at the counter scoffed at me. I don’t know if it’s because I was buying 30 condoms or because i tried to give her a high-five. I guess that’s not a good time to give a high five... another time it’s not cool to give a high-five is to a cop after you’ve just blown under a .08. Like, ‘.079 bitches! I’ll take those keys playa’. ”
