Special Notes
This is an interesting and fun app where the user has an interactive “dinner guest” in the form of their laptop or pad-type device. You download the app and have a hilarious conversation with an egomaniac that has all the answers — from short and curt to rude and nasty.

Dan ”the Man”: ONLY 20-30′s  male any ethnicity GOOD LOOKING, FIT AND STUDLY, NO CHARACTERS OR LONG HAIR. A hybrid between ‘Sack’ from ‘Wedding Crashers’ and ‘Johnny’ from ‘Karate Kid,’ our character is attractive, energetic and entirely full of himself. He’s not stupid, but his sense of his own intelligence may be somewhat overrated. He’s well dressed, well groomed and physically fit –all qualities he’s willing to remind you of frequently. Mid to late 20′s, career unknown and successful – he is a legend in his own mind.

Local to Cleveland. Send comedy link only in the submission, no travel , no per diem. Email a  headshot, resume and COMEDIC link if you have one( 30 seconds) to clevelanddinner@gmail.com
