Local Poster Makes Good: Dan Telfer on Bob & Tom

isoS · June 9, 2009, 4:17 PM

If you're on AST, you probably know Dan Telfer as the guy who posts passionately on the topics of comedy, video games and LOST, but if you are a resident of the Chicago area you may know him best as an up-and-coming talent on the stand-up scene. Dan has opened for the likes of Paul F. Tompkins, Marc Maron, Janeane Garofalo and Maria Bamford, and this morning he was a guest on the syndicated radio show Bob & Tom. What's that? You missed it? Well, he will also be on their WGN America TV show tonight [check your local listings here].

Congrats, Dan! [For more Dan Telfer: dantelfer.com]

Wowzers, thanks Matt!

I know you as the guy drunk chatting last New Years Eve!
Sweet!

God, I think I drank an entire bottle of Little Penguin that New Years.

I'm told they swapped episodes last night, and "my" preview has reappeared. So... I might actually be on the TV show tonight. Or maybe I was on Monday and I missed it. Watch tonight and see!

Or just go to the site and watch my 10 second clip so you can see proof I was actually a featured guest. Websites are in everyone's local listings!

I've been officially told by the producers that my episode airs tonight, Wednesday!

Hey cool! Congrats! I just set my Tifaux to record it on WGN. I'll be sure to post a line-by-line critique by sun-up.

I thought YOU were great, Dan.

Bob and Tom and the rest of the happy homophobe crew? Not so much.

I loved it when you went out of your way to say 'homosexual slur' so as not to come across like a jackass, to which they responded by yelling 'Queer' for 5 minutes.

Also great is that the sports guy's entire bit seems to be, "Wouldn't it be crazy if I was a gay?"

Again, you were great, but Bob and Tom are pretty intolerable.

Is there any way to hear/watch this online?

Online audio is available only through the paid VIP area of the site. They occaisonally post video on YouTube, but usually only stuff with famous types. We'll see! They might be sending me the raw video footage so I can post it myself.

Hey Dan this is for you

dan telfer · July 31, 2009, 2:52 PM

Aw, thank you Jay! I just saw your post now. Fuck those things.

So since I am not nearly famous enough to warrant my own Comedy Forum thread, and since I was lucky enough to have this thread (with people posting in it no less!) I thought I would let you guys know that I will be returning to The Bob and Tom Show on Friday, August 14th. Please tune in if it's in your area! Or tell people! Or both! I promise to be called a queer upwards of six times.

Also, for those who are generous enough to care I have a pretty awesome August coming up:

August 4th-9th: Featuring for John Roy @ Chicago Zanies
August 13th-15th: Featuring for Jackie Kashian @ Bloomington, IL Funny Bone
August 22nd (two shows): Featuring for John Oliver @ Lakeshore Theater, Chicago
August 28th- 29th: Featuring for Robert Hawkins @ Jukebox Comedy Club, Peoria

Plus I'll of course be doing a bunch of local Chicago shows, like Entertaining Julia on the 16th.

Thank you for being a friend,

Dan
