Brian Dowell has been kicked out of clubs and colleges all around the country. Truly a “comic’s comic”, the tall, lanky, cynical, controversial thirty two year old  sets comedy club stages ablaze with his searing brand of caustic social commentary. Spilling his guts on grievances large and small, he has quickly become one of his generation’s most shocking, prolific and hilarious comedic voices. In the grand tradition of Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks, he truly puts the BLUE back in blue-collar comedy. This champion of unpopular causes is a rare voice of reason in an increasingly crazy world.
He was born in Memphis, raised in a depressing small town in Arkansas, and went to high school in the suburbs of St. Louis. Moving around this much in his childhood gave Dowell both a short attention span and a wide world view. As a frustrated failed journalist, he started storming the standup comedy stages of Albuquerque, New Mexico, out of boredom. Dowell then moved to a crappy studio apartment in Los Angeles, where he perfected his comedic craft, gained a following and placed highly in several comedy contests. Now the edgy purveyor of comic hostility lives in the Midwest and tours consistently, performing 250 times a year, everywhere he can possibly get to.  Whether he suggests why midgets be allowed in the military, recounts the details of his divorce, or discusses his hatred of musicians, every show is different, unique and unforgettable. Brian Dowell  takes audiences on an unpredictable high charge thrill ride that is guaranteed to be a “humdinger”.
