BA of the Week: Comedian Kyle Dunnigan
Every week we feature a different person from the community shedding a little light on their life of brokeitude. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something about the human spirit — probably not.
Wanna be a Broke-Ass of the Week? Holler at us here and we’ll send you the questionnaire.
This week’s featured Broke-Ass is Kyle Dunnigan. He’s that funny guy that you’ve seen on Reno 911, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel, and Craig Ferguson, as well as on the wanted posters at the post office. It’s amazing they still haven’t caught him yet. Kyle is also Sarah Silverman’s girlfriend.
Besides the life-changing, monumental honor of being Broke-Ass of the Week, Kyle is also headlining the SF Punchline this weekend and has a comedy and music Christmas album available on iTunes on December 10th, entitled Craig’s All Star Rockin’ Christmas You Guys! It’s certainly gonna be a big week for Kyle but I can say he was mine first…just because this article was published before all that other awesome stuff happens.
