Dan Telfer (they/them/he/him) hails from Chicago and now lives in Los Angeles.

Dan’s stand-up comedy has been featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central’s @midnight, and The Pete Holmes Show (featured above). He has toured with Maria Bamford, Patton Oswalt, and Brian Posehn, and his albums Tendrils of Ruin and Ocean of Panic have reached the #1 spot on Apple Music’s Comedy chart.

His podcasting experience includes being the Dungeon Master for the comedic Dungeons & Dragons podcast Nerd Poker, which has been running for 10 years. He creates and performs hundreds of characters on this show, from orcs to elves, dragons to pixies.

As a gaming writer, Dan has helped win an Ennie Award for Best Family Game / Product with the adaptation of Netflix’s The Dragon Prince. He's adapted DC Comics' The Last God for D&D's 5th Edition and created encounters, monsters, and artifacts for the game Dungeons & Dragons.

Fun fact— Dan is perhaps the only person who can claim to have been a writer/editor for both The Onion and MAD Magazine.
