Dana Gould
Dana Gould is an American comedian and comedy writer born and raised Irish Catholic in Hopedale, Massachusetts.

After high school, he studied communications and theatre at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He eventually moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in comedy.

Do you remember the girl in your high school who had a horrible rumor spread about her? It might have involved a football team, or a dog and some peanut butter or maybe processed meat.

With her irreverent brand of overtly sexual humor she attempts to break down troubling double-standards and lend her voice to women everywhere. April would like to add that she doesn’t really know what irreverent means, but she’s heard a lot of other comics use it and thought it sounded kinda’ cool.
April Macie travels the world collecting stories and experiences, which she then translates into humorous, relatable tales in … Read More »
