“Dan Telfer’s comedy is a feat of improv, stand-up, and lightning fast synapses.” - The Chicago Tribune
“I love Dan Telfer. He is wonderful. He is like a goofier, smarter, funnier, taller, me with glasses. And male parts.” - Maria Bamford
“Of all the performers I’ve known over the years, Dan Telfer, more than any of them, seems the most compelled to do stand-up comedy. And I don’t think it’s because of some deep-seated need for attention, or because he’s seeking love from strangers that was denied him as a child; I think he needs to do stand-up comedy because he can’t be alone with his own thoughts. Coincidentally, he’s hilarious.” - Paul F. Tompkins.
