DAVID FELDMAN
For years a favorite among critics, other
stand-ups, and those in the know, Feldman
is finally breaking through with frequent
appearances on "The Tonight Show"
and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
He will soon appear in his own half-hour
special on Comedy Central to air later this
year.
Feldman also appears frequently on Showtime,
VH1, and until he got way too old MTV.
Feldman's acting credits include most recently
an appearance on HBO's critically acclaimed
series "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
starring "Seinfeld" co-creator
Larry David.
As a comedy writer, Feldman has amassed
a variety of credits. He was a writer for
the popular ABC sitcom "Roseanne,"
as well as HBO's much-lauded "Dennis
Miller Live!" and "Not Necessarily
the News." He currently writes for
HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher."
Feldman has written for countless awards
shows including the 2002 and 2003 Emmys.
Feldman has also won three prime time Emmy
awards for comedy writing, as well as three
prestigious Writer's Guild Awards and a
Cable Ace Award. But David says the award
he looks forward to most is the three million
dollar settlement he gets from a jury after
successfully bringing Roseanne to court
for firing him with two small children to
support.
For personal appearances
David is represented by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Now available in your area for a limited
time, David Feldman!
Well-known stand-up comic and writer David
Feldman is bringing his brand of subversive
and twisted comedy to your location for
several days or until he attracts the attention
of law enforcement. His talents have been
seen in such diverse venues as the acclaimed
HBO television show "Dennis Miller
Live" and "Roseanne", as
well as numerous appearances on "Late
Night with Conan O'Brien" and "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
Says Late Night booker Frank Smiley in
a recent edition of The Hollywood Reporter,
"I love David Feldman, there's simply
no one out there doing what he does."
The Lake Tahoe Daily Tribune says, "He truly is one of the best monologists ever working today."
David Feldman started doing standup during
the boom years of the eighties, when a skinny
tie and a taste for pharmaceuticals could
get you booked anywhere. Since then, he's
acquired a reputation as a comedian's comedian,
a true master of irony, and an easy lay.
His act is a layering of elegant and subtle
wordplay in the service of violated social
norms, a puncturing of those ideas accepted
without thought and beliefs held without
understanding.
Along the way, Feldman has performed in
comedy clubs and colleges all over the country
and beyond, as well as appearing at the
prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival
in Montreal. He's earned three Emmy awards
for Best Writing in a Comedy or Variety
Series, and been recognzed by his peers
with three Writers Guild awards. Says a
tearful Feldman, "I'd trade it all
for the ability to satisfy a woman."
In front of the camera, Feldman has appeared
on almost every show that features stand-up
comedy, spanning the range of "Make
Me Laugh" to "The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno". He appears regularly
on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien"
and recently was on "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
starring "Seinfeld" co-creator
Larry David.
Says Feldman, "I think that you've
got to get all the cockiness knocked out
of you in order to be a great comic,"
he muses. "You have to be beaten down,
totally humiliated, and degraded and still
get back up on stage." That's where
audiences come in to the picture.
