{"title":"David Huntsberger","description":"David Huntsberger was born and raised in Reno, Nevada. He attended Colorado State University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering. After college, he moved to San Diego and worked as a substitute teacher during the day while doing stand-up at night. Two years later, he moved to Austin, Texas where he was noticed by Comedy Central and asked to appear on season nine of “Premium Blend.” In 2006, he was runner-up in the annual “Funniest Person in Austin” contest. He also reached the semi-finals on season four of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” David regularly opens for Nick Swardson and Doug Benson and has worked with Paul F. Tompkins, Maria Bamford, Eddie Gossling, Tig Notaro and Patton Oswalt. He recently performed at the Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival in Washington, D.C. In his free time, he likes drawing and fly fishing.\n\u003ch3\u003eVideo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Qv8y--4y0pk?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"david-huntsberger-humanitis","title":"David Huntsberger - Humanitis (CD)","description":"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/humanitis\/id432048059?app=itunes\u0026amp;at=11lwrk\" target=\"new\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0178\/9057\/files\/buyitunes.png?11048999947270591803\" alt=\"Buy on iTunes\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t talk down to strippers; we all do everything for money.

We’re not good at talking about the big, existential things, let alone the personal insecurities and anxieties that we all carry.
