About Dana Gould:

Dana Gould was born and raised in the ironically-named town of Hopedale,
Mass. He started performing stand-up comedy at the tender age of 17. As a
performer, he was too young to be any good. As a person, he was socially
inept and looked weird. Let's skip ahead!

Gould moved to Los Angeles in the halcyon days of The Comedy Boom, performed
in several HBO specials, had numerous appearances on Conan O'Brien and David
Letterman, recorded the CD Funhouse, which was called "a comedy CD" by
Billboard magazine, and as an actor, appeared on Seinfeld, The Ben Stiller
Show and the series Working (which wasn't, and was soon cancelled).

After writing the pilot World On A String (with Jay Kogen), he co-created
MTV's late, lamented, Super Adventure Team (with Rob Cohen). Gould then
joined the staff of The Simpsons, where he squatted for seven years. Stand
up remains a big part of his career, and he continues to perform regularly.
He appeared in the film The Aristocrats, and his new stand-up special, Let
Me Put My Thoughts In You, premieres on next month on Showtime. A CD and DVD
release follows just after.

Dana Gould lives in Los Angeles with his wife and a bunch of kids and dogs,
several of them theirs.
