Born and raised in San Francisco, the food and comedy capital of the world, DAN
ST. PAUL grew up in a full-blooded Italian family. His father,
Joe, was well known to The City’s Epicureans as one of the best fine-dining
waiters on the west coast. His grandfather was a chef. His brother is a cook.
Everybody in the St. Paul family is in the restaurant business except Dan.
It’s not that he’s the black sheep or anything. It’s just that
he felt as a proud and patriotic San Franciscan, he should do his civic duty and
move into comedy to balance out the family tree a bit.
After a seven-year stint of headlining S.F. clubs in the comedy duo Murphy-St.Paul,
Dan launched out on his own with a solo act that was to land
him in the finals of the nation’s toughest comedy contest, The San Francisco
International Stand-Up Comedy Competition.
Soon after, Dan moved to Los
Angeles and appeared on several episodes of A&E’s “An Evening
at the Improv”, VH-1, MTV, and FOX “Comic Strip Live”. Since
then, he has opened for such superstars as Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Shandling,
Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson, and Vince Gill. He appeared in the movie “Flubber”
with Robin Williamsand is also the star of his own one-man play, “Outer
Mission, Middle Class — the Diary of an Immigrant’s Son”.
Armed with a Bachelors Degree in Italian from UC Berkeley, a teaching credential
from San Francisco State, and a Masters Degree in special education, the majority
of Dan’s material comes from being a husband
to his wife, Cara and father to his son, Roy.
Dan is a favorite with corporate
clients including Hewlett Packard, National Semiconductor, IBM, Intel, Nations
Bank, Philips Magnavox, Chevron, Blue Cross, and many, many more. He customizes
his material for each client and event.
