DANA GOULD
	Dana Gould is an American comedian and comedy writer born and raised in Hopedale, Massachusetts. His upbringing in the "weird little" factory town and the backward eccentricities of his extended family lent themselves to his stand-up routine, which has been seen on HBO, Showtime, and Comedy Central, among other places. Gould has written and performed on The Ben Stiller Show. Gould was featured in the film The Aristocrats, where, among other commentary, he presents an Amish version of the eponymous joke. For six years Gould wrote for The Simpsons, on one episode of which he provided the voice of Don Knotts as Barney Fife (an impression that originated in his standup routine). He left the show in late 2006 in order to focus on his own screenwriting.
	Dana Gould "Funhouse" CD Stand Up! Records is proud to present the re-release of Dana Gould’s first CD “Funhouse.” Recorded just prior to Gould’s 7 year tenure as a writer and co-executive producer for The Simpsons, “Funhouse” catches a light and loose Gould galloping onstage for a romp through the joys of a working-class, Irish Catholic upbringing as preparation for his life in LA.  This self-deprecating comedian is known to many for his recent Showtime special, his frequent guest appearances with Bill Maher, Jimmy Kimmel, and Conan O’Brien, and as the delivery-man for the only Amish joke to feature in 2005’s The Aristocrats. In this classic stand-up show, Gould hits on some of his best routines, taking hilarious detours through the modern culture wars and old Hollywood. Gould is particularly wonderful as he introduces his subtle, totally on-point impressions, woven into standalone jokes with an easy touch. In his mind, Gould sees Vincent Price getting his mack on, the untimely appearance of his father’s sh*t-faced phrase (“I’ll be honest wit’cha!” “Nooooo! Don’t be honest with us!”), and even Gilligan’s Island characters dropped into South Central, finishing out the evening with the world’s single best Morrissey impression. You thought you were scared of clowns before? Well, you just wait for the encore, champ.
