Dan Deibert Comedian from Waukesha, WI

Dan Deibert is one of the Midwest’s favorite comedians and has been cracking jokes on the stand-up comedy circuit for over 30 years, a feat that proves he’s either incredibly good or just doesn’t listen when people ask him to leave. Born in Illinois, Dan traded cornfields for cheese curds when he moved to Wisconsin over two decades ago, settling in Waukesha with his wife of 30+ years. Their household is a chaotic menagerie featuring a dog named Charlie and a cat named Stewie, the latter of whom arrived as a “temporary” guest two years ago and has since claimed squatter’s rights. Dan’s comedy career is a bit like Stewie—messy, angry at the strangest things, and has been around longer than anyone planned for. His observational humor, which zeroes in on the things you’re already thinking but haven’t dared say out loud, once landed him as the runner-up in the National Jay Leno Comedy Challenge—a near-miss that left him with a trophy, a story, and a lifelong grudge against chin jokes. Also, Dan has a deeply passionate hatred of wind chimes, canada geese, and glitter.
