Broke-Ass of The Week: Comedian Kyle Dunnigan

Every week we feature a different person from the community shedding a little light on their life. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something about the human spirit — probably not.

Most recently, Kyle Dunnigan had an amazing performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers  and has been contributing on air comedic pieces for The Howard Stern Show.  He also recently sat in the “Artie Lange Chair” for several shows, and booked a supporting role in the Judd Apatow feature Trainwreck which just premiered at SXSW (due out this summer). He was a staff writer on all 3 seasons of Emmy nominated Inside Amy Schumer for Comedy Central. Rolling Stone ranked his podcast, Professor Blastoff, which he co-hosts with Tig Notaro #9 on their list of funniest podcasts right now.

Kyle will be at The San Francisco Punchline Comedy Club from April 29th-May 2nd
