David Huntsberger is from Reno, NV but he got his comedy start in San Diego at the Comedy Store. Two years later, he relocated to Austin, TX. In 2005, he was a finalist in the funniest person in Austin. He was also noticed by Comedy Central and invited to be on season nine of Premium Blend. The following year,
he made it to the semi-finals of season four of last comic standing. During that time, he was also a founding member of the Hooligan Show – a sketch group that gained a small, cult following in Austin.
David has written for the Comedy Central Roasts of Flava Flav and Joan Rivers as well as the Benson Interruption – also on Comedy Central. Since leaving Austin, David has regularly opened for Nick Swardson, Doug Benson, and Tig Notaro as well as headlined across the US and Canada. He’s been invited to the Bentzen Ball in Washington, D.C. and this will be his second appearance at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival. David’s new album “Humanitis” will be released through Stand-Up! Records on May 1st, and he will be a part of a new podcast with Tig Notaro and Kyle Dunnigan titled “Professor Blastoff” coming May 6th on Earwolf.com.
When not performing stand-up, David draws comics and animation that can be seen at his website:
