Danny Lobell A Modern Day Philosopher 

7/14/2014

 
Comedian Danny Lobell From Modern Day Philosophers.  It features Danny and a different comedian every week discussing philosophy. It can be listened to on iTunes or SoundCloud.

Danny Lobell is a Los Angeles based, internationally touring comedian.
At the age of 16, he walked into his local Starbucks in Long Beach, New York, went up last at an open mic night, and was met with mostly silence. Despite the tough crowd, Danny was hooked.

In his 20s, when he moved to New York City to pursue comedy full time, he also established The Comical, a free monthly magazine that featured stories about well known comedians. When the publishing industry went bust, he started the first ever comedy podcast with an interview format, Comical Radio. George Carlin, Chris Rock, and more than a thousand other guests were on the show during its eight year span. Along with the podcast, he wrote, produced, and directed Rise of the Radio Show, a web series based on his interactions with the comedians and interviewees. 
Danny has taken his act, which is a mix of storytelling, everyday observations, and surrealism to clubs all over the world in places like South Africa, Paris, Edinburgh, Glasgow, England, Belgium, and Spain.

Danny was a staff writer on AOL’s Late Net talk show, and he’s written for Playboy and The Greenpoint Gazette as a humor columnist. He has also appeared on National Public Radio’s This American Life, on which he told a story about raising a rooster in Brooklyn with his neighbor.

Stand Up! Records released Danny’s debut comedy CD, recorded at The Stand in Glasgow, in April 2013. The album, titled Some Kind of Comedian, is a compilation of tales about growing up as a Scottish Jew, living in New York City, adventures in international travel, and reflections on growing old.

In the summer of 2013, he launched the podcast Modern Day Philosophers, which quickly shot up to number five on the iTunes charts. On the show, Danny studies philosophy with comedians and attempts to understand the greats including Sartre, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.

He’s been a guest on WTF with Marc Maron and The Artie Lange Show on DirecTV. He’s also performed at Kevin Nealon’s Tuesday night show at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood, CA and regularly tours the country with Ralphie May.

Danny lives with his girlfriend, his two dogs, and his tortoise. In his free time, he likes to paint, listen to jazz, and peruse garage sales around town.

    ABOUT

    -LIBERATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT, GET NAKED, FIND A MOUNTAIN TOP, HIT PLAY, SQUEEGEE YOUR THIRD EYE AND PREPARE TO BLAST OFF INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN WOMB OF THE UNIVERSE AND ENJOY!

    Background

    For the past 17 years I've made my career out of designing and teaching group fitness kickboxing classes.  Many of my classes consist of up to 100 people, who range in fitness levels from beginner to advanced-- all in the same class. Obviously this exposed some challenges and hurdles that I needed to overcome in order to keep my classes at the highest quality possible.  
    Using my classes as my "laboratory", I've successfully implemented a series of techniques that I use to motivate my clients to achieve their fitness goals.  It is my belief that health and fitness is far more mental than physical, and by unlocking certain aspects of the mind in a group setting, I've seen some absolutely amazing transformations!  
    Now, over 10,000 classes later, my passion has turned to researching and studying human psychology and how it relates to motivation, learning, willpower, and self-improvement.  Each guest featured on my podcast has impacted me at some point in my quest for understanding, and I hope that by bringing all these masters together, we can benefit from the collective knowledge and make the world a better place to live.
