Dan is a veteran of the San Francisco comedy scene with a hiatus in Los Angeles and as a opening act for Jerry Seinfeld, Natalie Cole and Smokey Robinson.  

He talks about the changes he has experienced since reaching the half-century mark.  “I am a cylinder now.  I can wear a belt anywhere on my body,” he says of his maturing body.  “ I have eight  pairs of reading glassing and I have no idea where they,” he says of his faulty memory.

Lovers of comedy in their 50’s will relate to Dan’s revelations on aging but so will everyone else.  “What’s So Funny After 50?” is part of a series of Comedy and Pinball for a Cause to raise funds to renovate the Carnegie Library which will eventually house the Pacific Pinball Museum.
