The anecdotes and reflections on his path to becoming a comedian, including his initial confusion about the duration of stand-up sets and his realization of the importance of quality over quantity in comedy, Daniel Echus.

The Stein Time Show

Daniel Eachus is a rising star in the comedy world. Even at such a young age, Eachus has the chops of a comedy veteran, and the world is beginning to take notice. Born and raised in Fresno, CA, he was surrounded by farms but didn’t want to smell raisins for the rest of his life. So, he turned to comedy to get him out. For college, Daniel’s wish came true, and he left Fresno to study in Long Beach, CA. By day, he was a student. By night, he performed on the stand-up comedy circuit. After just one year of nightly performances, he became the youngest finalist ever in the Funniest Comic in Los Angeles contest. ⁣ Daniel’s television career quickly took off when he made it to the finals on Comedy Central’s Up Next, which then led to his second televised appearance on several episodes of FOX & HULU’s Laughs. Since then, Eachus has put out two stand-up albums with 800 Pound Gorilla Records that have been playing regularly on Sirius XM, Spotify, iTunes, and Pandora. And his debut Dry Bar Comedy special A Mild and Skinny Guy now has over a million total views! But doing stand-up is simply not enough for Daniel (he demands more, dang-it!). Eachus launched his writing career by co-writing LOL Network’s Dead House (produced by comedy giant Kevin Hart). In 2021, he solidified himself as a bona fide author with the release of his first book of comedic short stories titled A Day at the Zoo in 2062 (available now on Amazon). ⁣ But that’s not all! Eachus also acts (that’s right, ladies). Daniel has starred in 22 national television commercials - advertising everything from Dollar Shave Club to ESPN to Fruit of the Loom underwear and the holy grail of commercial acting, Oscar Mayer. His first movie appearance came in 2022, with a lighthearted role in the Paramount+ film Amy and Peter Are Getting Divorced.
