Dan Gabriel is one hilarious stand-up comedian because you already know him. Everybody has a buddy just like Gabriel. He is that friend of yours who says something inappropriate to your grandmother about her dentures. Gabriel is your cool cousin who tells you about a band a few months before their hit single blows up the radio. He is that guy who you stayed friends with even after he broke up with your sister. It's Gabriel's ability to connect with audiences on a personal level that makes him funny. Half-Filipino and half-bald white dude is what makes up Gabriel's vaguely ethnic look. Born and raised in a surfing community next to the beach but forced to watch the movie Jaws at age three, Gabriel was left confused and scared of water. Once in high school, he developed a sense of humor in an attempt to be as cool as guys who could surf. While attending University of California, Davis, Gabriel's friends forced him to try stand-up comedy. Soon, Gabriel was opening for comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, Mitch Hedberg, and George Lopez. After moving to Los Angeles, he won The Take Out Comedy Competition which led to hosting his own show, Asia Street Comedy, on AZN Television. Gabriel's comedy is PG-13. Without graphic violence or nudity, he casually delivers what his friends refer to as smart, stupid comedy. He is a soft sell, who doesn’t beat you over the head with his material. If you like a joke, cool. If not, there’s another one coming in about 10 seconds. Gabriel has appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and Star Search, just to name a few.
