Dan St. Paul
CLEAN, CLEVER STAND-UP COMEDY
WITH THE CORPORATE CLIENT IN MIND!
After a seven-year stint of headlining San Francisco clubs in the comedy duo Murphy-St.Paul, Dan launched out on his own with a solo act that was to land him in the finals of the nation's toughest comedy competition, The San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition.
Soon after, Dan moved to Los Angeles and appeared on several episodes of "An Evening at the Improv", plus numerous shows on VH-1, MTV, and Comedy Central. Since then, he has opened for such superstars as Jerry Seinfeld, Natalie Cole, Dwight Yoakum, Smokey Robinson, and Vince Gill. In a testament to the class of his act, Dan even opened for the San Francisco Symphony ("These guys are great! I knew them back when they were just a garage band.") .
He appeared in the movie "Flubber" with Robin Williams, and signed a recording deal with MCA records. His CD, "Natural and Good for You" contains one the most requested comedy pieces on radio, "The First Baseball Game". He also is the star of his own one-man play, "Outer Mission, Middle Class - The Comic Diary of an Immigrant's Son".
The Los Angeles Theater and Entertainment Review said about Dan, "Combining a sharp, clean wit with an outstanding talent for creating characters, Dan's show appeals to audiences of all ages...what sets Dan apart is that he doesn't just tell jokes, but rather creates a series of comedic events."
Armed with a Bachelors Degree in Italian from UC Berkeley, a teaching credential from San Francisco State, and a Masters Degree in special education, the majority of Dan's material comes from being a suburban husband and father and dealing with the frustrations of everyday life.
Corporate clients include Hewlett Packard, National Semiconductor, IBM, Intel, Nations Bank, Philips Magnavox, Chevron, Blue Cross, and many, many more. He customizes his material for each client and event.
Dan lives in Foster City, CA with his wife Cara and his son Roy.

Sharon M. Long, Marketing and Sales Communications Manager, Philips Semiconductor
- "YOU WERE VERY, VERY ENTERTAINING. YOUR MASTER'S DEGREE IS DEFINITELY EVIDENT WHEN IT CAME TO AMUSING SOPHISTICATED ENGINEERS. WE APPRECIATED HOW YOU WERE ABLE TO INCORPORATE OUR BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTO YOUR ROUTINE. WE ALSO APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT YOUR MATERIAL WAS NOT RACIST, SEXIST OR OFFENSIVE IN ANY WAY - IT WAS SIMPLY VERY FUNNY."
Thomas J. Quinn, President and CEO, Gyration Inc.
- "THE EXTRA EFFORT DAN TOOK TO WRITE JOKES SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO HP AND TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT WAS INVALUABLE IN MAKING OUR EVENT A SUCCESS. I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN FOR THE TREMENDOUS PERFORMANCE YOU GAVE....YOUR MATERIAL WAS TIMELY, INTERESTING AND MOST OF ALL JUST PLAIN FUNNY."
Carole Frazzini, Co-Chairperson of the Entertainment Committee, Hewlett-Packard Company
- "YOU WERE GREAT! EVERYONE LOVED YOU, AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE JOKES YOU DID THAT WERE SPECIFICALLY TAILORED FOR FRYS! YOU REALLY DREW THE CROWD IN AND MADE THEM FEEL THAT YOUR ROUTINE WAS JUST FOR FRYS. IT IS NOT EASY FOR A COMEDIAN TO APPEAR AT A CORPORATE FUNCTION THAT REQUIRES 'CLEAN HUMOR.' THE TACTICS YOU USED MADE THE EVENING A SUCCESS."
Kathryn J. Kolder, Vice President, Fry's Electronics
- "DAN HAD THE AUDIENCE IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND, PARTLY BECAUSE HE TOOK THE TIME TO RESEARCH HIS AUDIENCE OF AGENTS AND HIS CLIENT, BLUE CROSS. I LOOKED AROUND MY TABLE OF EIGHT, AND EVERYONE HAD TEARS OF LAUGHTER ON THEIR FACES. HE TURNED A PLEASANT BUT NORMAL DINNER INTO A JOYOUS AND MEMORABLE EVENT. I WOULD RECOMMEND DAN TO PLAY TO LITERALLY ANY AUDIENCE FOR ANY COMPANY."
Susan Norton, Sales Promotion Specialist, Blue Cross of California
- "DAN ST. PAUL WAS SO CLEVER WITH INCORPORATING THE FOOD INDUSTRY INTO HIS ACT. EVERYONE REMARKED ON HOW HIS ENTIRE ROUTINE MADE THEM LAUGH. HE REALLY IS A FUNNY GUY."
