Dan Brittain

Dan Brittain is a comedian in Southeast Michigan. Dan started out in comedy at The Second City almost 20 years ago and finished their Conservatory program in improv.

He’s performed multiple times at Gilda's Laughfest, the Detroit Improv Festival, and is a regular at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle and One Night Stan's. He’s hosted for Steve Mcgrew, Matt Holt, and was recently the feature comedian for Josh Sneed.
