Wild Card Comedy FT Daniel Van Kirk
About This Event
Daniel Van Kirk, a Los Angeles–based comedian, actor, writer and podcast host, headlines an Alphaville bill that also features Canadian stand-up Jarrett Campbell. Campbell's 2019 album Straight White Fail earned a Juno nomination and he appears on bills at New York Comedy Club and Alphaville; his sets favor direct, premise-forward writing while Van Kirk brings a cross-medium comic practice to the small-club lineup.
About Wild Card Comedy
Wild Card Comedy lands at Alphaville with a rotating lineup built around stand-up and loose, room-responsive bits. The current bill includes Jarrett Campbell and Daniel Van Kirk, both known for working close to the grain of the audience rather than above it. In New York’s long tradition of small-room comedy, nights like this keep the form local and provisional, shaped by whoever shows up. Its value is in process: jokes tested in public, then either kept or discarded.
