Daniel Kilpatrick: Videos, Jokes, Tour Dates, Biography and more | Jokes.com

There are many paths to success in stand-up comedy. Daniel Kilpatrick's path has taken him through familiar territory for many comics: working in a comedy club answering phones, waiting tables and generally doing whatever he could to be around stand-up. While he would probably stop short of accrediting osmosis for his rise in the comedy ranks, soaking in all that funny night after night has certainly paid off for the Austin, TX native. Whether serving as house MC at Cap City Comedy Club, or slinging drinks in the same establishment, Daniel has continually been around comedy since he first set foot on stage five years ago. His silly-smart style is indicative of his work with so many different comics: he's no one-trick pony. Coming to the attention of Comedy Central scouts through his consistent success in the "Funniest Person in Austin" contest, he netted an appearance at the South Beach Comedy Festival in January 2009.

So, next time you're in a comedy club and asked to "give it up for the waitstaff," do it loud. You just might be giving it up for one of comedy's rising stars.
