Frank Erwin Center | Press Releases

Austin, Texas – Named a "comedian phenom and icon" by Entertainment Weekly and one of the world’s 100 “Most Influential People” by Time Magazine in 2007, Dane Cook has maintained his reputation as one of today's most prolific stand-up comedians while simultaneously distinguishing himself as a charismatic and versatile actor in a variety of film and television projects. Combining energetic physical comedy, clever wordplay and trenchant observations about human behavior, Cook brings his unique brand of stand-up and accessible guy-next-door attitude to the Frank Erwin Center on November 12!

Cook has released five comedy albums to date: Harmful If Swallowed, Retaliation, Vicious Circle, Rough Around The Edges: Live From Madison Square Garden and ISolated INcident. Retaliation bucked industry trends by debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The album, which has hit double platinum, marked him as the highest charting comedian in 27 years, earning him a place alongside best-selling comedy vets Bill Cosby, George Carlin and Steve Martin.

Cook has also appeared on the big screen in Waiting, Employee of the Month, Good Luck Chuck, Mr. Brooks, and he most recently starred in My Best Friend’s Girl. In 2006, Cook hosted the season premiere of “Saturday Night Live,” helping the program earn the highest non-sports ratings of any network that year.
