Comedian Dave Attell is the host and writer of Comedy Central's Insomniac with Dave Attell. The hit series began in August 2001 and is a travelogue of after-hours experiences in cities across the country. The New York Times says, "Insomniac is a doubly rare beast, a comedy without rancor and a travel show about the virtues of the American underdog."

Recently, Attell headlined a nationwide stand-up tour called Comedy Central Live Presents Dave Attell: The Insomniac from April through July 2005. The stand-up tour hit approximately 35 cities across the country and also featured comedian Sean Rouse. For his final gigs, Attell rolled into Las Vegas with Rouse, Greg Giraldo and Dane Cook. The performances will be produced into a feature length concert film titled, Dave Attell's Insomniac Tour Presents Sean Rouse, Greg Giraldo and Dane Cook which will debut on Comedy Central October 2, 2005. In 2003, Attell co-headlined with Lewis Black (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) on a successful national stand-up tour, Comedy Central Live Starring Dave Attell and Lewis Black, which also featured comedian Mitch Hedberg. The tour hit approximately 50 cities across the country.

Born in Queens and raised in Long Island, Attell is highly respected in the industry, the media, as well as with his audiences. A stand-up comic for the past 18 years, he has risen to the top of his craft.

When not on the road doing a gig, Attell performs at New York City's famed Comedy Cellar on a regular basis.
