Dan Licoppe

Dan Licoppe Comedian

Dan headlines comedy clubs with his cutting edge, clever commentary on the world, as he sees it, combined with hilarious stories from his own life. Dan has a knack for appealing to all types of audiences using his smart, hip material and his engaging performing style. Dan has appeared in his own episode of Comedy Now on CTV/Comedy Network, Open Mike With Mike Bullard, the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and on CBC’s Madly Off in All Directions.

Dan also created and co-starred in a successful, critically praised theatre show, Dawn of the Dad. Dan’s performance in Dawn of the Dad was given “special props” by the Winnipeg Free Press. CBC Radio recorded it for a nationally broadcast Father’s Day special. The CBC Radio version of the show has been nominated for a Gabriel Award and a New York Festivals Award for excellence in radio broadcasting.

Dan also trained and performed with the acclaimed Second City in Toronto.
Perhaps Dan’s crowning achievement to date has been Mel Silverback. Dan created and embodies the character Mel Silverback, a tuxedo clad, old-time Catskills mountain gorilla stand up comic with an edge, who tells it like it is.

Watch for Mel Silverback on Season 5 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing.
