You may remember comic Dave Attell from his stint several years back as the host of Comedy Central’s “Insomniac with Dave Attell” which earned him something of a cult following. He was also featured in the Hulu series “Life & Beth” along with Amy Schumer, Michael Rapaport and Michael Cera, as well “Bumping Mics” on Netflix and HBO’s “Crashing.” Attell’s stand-up series and his one-hour special “Road Work” were featured on Comedy Central and are both streaming on Netflix. Point being, this guy has been making people laugh for many years. You will too, if you catch his Portland performance.
