Dane Cook’s numerous film and television projects include starring roles in Touchstone’s “Dan in Real Life” (with Steve Carell), Lionsgate’s romantic comedy, “Good Luck Chuck” (with Jessica Alba), MGM’s thriller, “Mr. Brooks” (with Kevin Costner, Demi Moore and William Hurt), and most recently “My Best Friend’s Girl” (with Kate Hudson and Alec Baldwin), through his production company, SUperFInger Entertainment.Combining energetic physical comedy, clever wordplay and trenchant observations about human behavior, Cook’s unique brand of stand-up and accessible guy-next-door attitude have galvanized audiences of all ages. His debut CD/DVD release, “Harmful If Swallowed”, appeared on eight different Billboard charts and is certified platinum. A few years later, he catapulted to media headlines when his sophomore comedy double-CD/DVD, “Retaliation”, debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200, hitting double platinum, making him the highest charting comedian in twenty-nine years, and earning him a place alongside best-selling comedy vets Bill Cosby, George Carlin and Steve Martin.
In 2008, Cook again proved his star power in front of a combined live crowd of 70,000 people with two highly rated specials, “Vicious Circle” (for HBO) and “Rough Around the Edges” (for Comedy Central). Last year, Cook teamed up again with Comedy Central with his new special, “ISolated Incident” – his most ambitious album and special to date, taped in an intimate comedy club setting rather than a arena. The album found Cook covering new kinds of material, from the personal to the political and it debuted commercial-free on Comedy Central in May 2009 and was also shot in one single, edit-free take from beginning to end.
Dane Cook will be at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday October 23, 2010.
