Daniel Cassilagio (Dan Cass) is a Chicago based comedian, producer, and writer who loves connecting with strangers. Dan grew up in a tiny town in Northern California and moved to Chicago after performing both Stand-up and Stage Acting for three years in the Bay Area, co-writing and performing in the show “Sleepy: A Musical”, studying at the University of Idaho to eventually receive his BFA, and studying twice at the Moscow Art Theater in Russia. Dan’s material is mostly influenced by his daily isolation from social anxiety, and constant curiosity to challenge and reveal truth. He produces a Variety Show at The Cards Against Humanity Theater in Chicago, produces a bi weekly show called The Love Below Comedy Show, and has frequently performed at Zanies Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory, KCACTF Region 7, The Comedy Shrine, and many other wonderful venues. Dan is a little strange, but extremely sweet, and wants to find a way to make your sadness a little more bearable, perhaps even joyful.
