About Dan
Dan Mengini's "too worried about too little and not really smart enough to do anything about it" mindset — combined with his slim stature — earned him the nickname Featherweight Champion of Over-thinking. It's truthful and brilliant comedy that'll keep you laughing for a lifetime.
Notable television appearances include a Dry Bar Comedy Special with millions of views, Pure Flix Comedy All-Stars, Laughs on FOX, Showtime's Homeland, USA Network's Necessary Roughness, Lifetime TV's Drop Dead Diva, The CW's One Tree Hill, and starring roles on two Adult Swim live action shows. He has also appeared in over 50 national TV commercials and tours comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships, corporate events, and theaters across the country.
Dan also appeared in the feature film "42" — directed by Academy Award® winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential) and starring Harrison Ford, Christopher Meloni, and Chadwick Boseman. The film tells the life story of Jackie Robinson and his history-making signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
His last name is pronounced "Men-ghee-nee."
