Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents

Dan St. Germain looks like a guy who drinks cheap whiskey and recently got dumped. Fortunately, he knows it. His 2013 Comedy Central half-hour leans into the messiness of single life in New York City, built around the highly specific indignities of pouring Evan Williams and eating at local chain bakeries like Connecticut Muffin. The strongest material arrives when he details a relationship ending where he is entirely at fault, refusing to play the victim while explaining his own romantic incompetence.

Filmed at Royale in Boston, the set aired during a breakout year for St. Germain. He spent 2013 making late-night appearances and earning the “Comedy Break Out” title from Time Out New York. He brings a distinct presence to the room, combining alt-comedy neuroses with the loud, punchy rhythm of a guy holding court at a neighborhood bar.
