DYLAN BRODY
	Mr. Brody began performing stand-up comedy on the open-mic circuit in New York the summer after he finished high school. During his sophomore year at Sarah Lawrence College, the world famous IMPROVisation in Hell’s Kitchen accepted him as a “developing regular,” where he began to hone his stand-up skills and develop his onstage persona. The great George Carlin, whom Dylan admired as a child, once called to encourage his work, referring to Brody as a “very funny young political comic.” Brody studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, England. During this time Dylan worked London’s comedy clubs and developed a loyal following at the Canal Café Theater where he performed weekly. Returning to America, Dylan worked comedy clubs from New York to Los Angeles, where he shared the stage with some of the comedy world’s biggest stars including: Adam Sandler, Jeff Foxworthy, Dennis Miller, John Lovitz, Larry Miller, Norm McDonald, Louie Anderson, Richard Belzer, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. He has written jokes used by dozens of comedians, including Jay Leno in his monologues on The Tonight Show. Mr. Brody wrote his first play while still in grade school. He went on to become an award-winning playwright, screenwriter and twice published novelist. One of his latest plays, Mother May I, won the prestigious Stanley Drama Award for playwriting. His novels, A Tale Of A Hero And The Song Of Her Sword and The Warm Hello, were published, in 1997 and 1999, respectively. His screenplay, Spells of Grey, was a semi-finalist for the coveted Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting. For more than two decades in television, radio and live performance, Dylan Brody has been making people laugh around the world. He has evolved into an artful humorist with an engaging style all his own. Dylan can be heard regularly on KYCY Radio in San Francisco, California, sharing his thoughts and his unique perspective of life and the world around us.
	Dylan Brody "Brevity" CD The brief version: “Brevity.” Buy it. It’s really good. The not-so-brief version: An award-winning novelist and playwright, Dylan Brody is hysterically funny, but in the most understated, beautiful, poignant, and well-wrought way possible. To simply call what he does on “Brevity,” his first studio album, “stand up comedy” would be to undercut each story’s intricacies, glossing over what Brody’s father supposedly claims is “the difference between the truth and the facts.” At the same time, “storytelling” is another too-narrow label, suggesting stodginess and boredom; instead, listeners find goofy stories of this good Jewish boy eating peyote and going on a vision quest with the Penobscot at age 11 and hearing a joke told at his former prep school twisted into a “literal attempt to solicit sexual favors from the entire student body.” With his quick wit, Brody weaves paradoxically tangled but straightforward tales. He is insightful, hilarious, and well worth repeated listening. Hell, the guy’s even owned a cat that could tell time. Who wouldn’t want to grab a drink and hear that story?

	Dylan Brody "True Enough" CD With his credentials, Dylan Brody ought to just swagger out onto the stage and command his audience to laugh. Instead, on Stand Up! Records’ new release “True Enough,” the long time performer humbly tells his stories while the giggles and accolades roll on in. Brody has a particular knack for toeing the line between long-form joke-telling and straightforward short story-telling, clearly writing with the telling in mind and hitting his cadences easily and confidently. Like his peers David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs, Brody mines his own surprisingly insane life to weave tales that are simultaneously relatable and truly outlandish. He presents each of his stories with the same gusto and anticipatory joy of a favorite family anecdote, buffed and polished over the years and presented anew over every Thanksgiving turkey. This disc blithely covers the broad lands between a hamster named Vita Brevis and unintentional whoring; being upstaged by Robin Williams and called at home by George Carlin; a runaway dog that stops home to visit every now and then and personal lessons in the relationship between bigotry and geography. Somehow, Brody weaves it all together into one beautiful and deeply, truly, magically funny mess.
