Loud. Soft-spoken. Intelligent. Dumb. Those are some words used to describe comedian Danny Kallas. His act's all over the place, from absurd silliness to smart satire. Danny's material is delivered in his thick, blue-collar accent and he sounds like he could easily be your neighborhood mechanic.

In 2016, Danny became a headliner at clubs in the Midwest and continues to be a strong feature act, featuring for some of the biggest comedians in comedy including: Dave Attell, Hannibal Buress, Joey Diaz, and Kyle Kinane.

Danny was named to comedy.com's list of funniest Chicago comedians and is co-creator, co-producer, and member of the stand-up comedy collective Comedians You Should Know, whose 2011 self-titled album debuted #1 on the iTunes comedy chart.
