In his job as a demo engineer with Intel Corporation, Dan Nainan toured the world with the company's senior executives, demonstrating the latest technology for audiences numbering into the thousands. Confident in his technical abilities but terrified of public speaking, Dan took a comedy class to get over the fear. His third performance was in front of 2500 Intel employees at a sales conference.
After leaving Intel to pursue comedy full time, Dan has toured with Robert Schimmel and Russell Peters and was also requested to perform by Bob Saget and Brad Garrett. He has appeared on network television including Last Comic Standing, as well as in feature films and in commercials, including a "Get a Mac" commercial for Apple and six commercials for VMWare. Dan also appeared on Billions with his Tesla. He also does voiceovers, including most recently for the Fox animated series Family Guy, and has done prank calls on radio stations nationwide as various characters including Bill Clinton.
Dan has performed for President Obama, President Trump, Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, Bill de Blasio, Michael Bloomberg, Arianna Huffington and his favorite, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak. He has performed in 28 countries on five continents including TED India, and he has visited 63 countries total.
