Dan Cummins taped his first one-hour special for Comedy Central on October 17th, 2009. He received a standing ovation after performing more than 65 minutes of new material to a sold-out house at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane, Washington. This special was a follow up to his popular half-hour Comedy Central Presents special, which was voted the third favorite half-hour special in Comedy Central Presents history by fans in the 2009 Stand Up Showdown. That half-hour was made possible by Cummins' initial appearance on the first series of Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, where one of Cummins' jokes was not only used to advertise his episode, but was used to advertise the entire debut season of the new stand-up show. Material featured in his half-hour special, and from the Live at Gotham taping, were released on his national debut CD, Revenge is Near, and on Warner Bros. Records in June of 2009, reaching #7 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. In addition to his Comedy Central appearances, Cummins has performed on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Last Comic Standing, Comedy.tv with Byron Allen and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Cummins has also performed at numerous prestigious comedy festivals, appearing at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2005 and 2009, and also performing at the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival, The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, and the South Beach Comedy Festival. All of these television and festival appearances were made possible by a relentless touring schedule, with Cummins headlining clubs and colleges in every state but Hawaii. After countless college shows since 2007, Cummins was named one of the 2010 “Hot Comedy Picks” by Campus Activities Magazine.
