Dani Riedel can be seen performing all over New York City and the internet! Dani is a published author as well as a comedian. Her novel Smile and Walk Away is available from Champagne Book Group in eBook and paperback on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and iBooks.

When Dani was in high school, she used to get in big trouble with her teachers and parents for writing stories that were sexually graphic or anti-government. Now, twenty years later, she writes that stuff as a job. Suck on that, conservative high school teachers. Dani graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2004. Since then she has worked in veterinary medicine, been a police cadet, a counselor, a bartender, a car saleswoman, an actress, an author, and a comedian. But not all at the same time.

She is a graduate of Helium Comedy Academy and the coproducer/cohost the zoom comedy show Things That Used to Scare Me. Dani was the host/cat wrangler of the show Comedians with Cats as part of 𝙍𝘼𝙈𝙋𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙇𝙔’s COMEDAY 2020. She is the mother of four wonderful cats and zero humans. Stay tuned for possible future episodes of Comedians with Cats!

Dani lives in Hell's kitchen with her husband and their kitties. Her hobbies are classified. If you don't get some of her jokes, it means you're probably a jock who's never seen Star Trek and didn't pay attention in math class.
