I have a severe fear of live crabs and lobsters (out of water) and come from the Seattle area in Washington state. I'm 5'6" 150 lbs. My parents call me Dan and my friends don't call me. I've almost been arrested for committing fraud but I got out of it by committing more fraud. I don't like school. I have a Christian family and grew up Christian. My dad doesn't think we landed on the moon. I've never had a job or seriously worked in my entire 17 year life. I sometimes scalp tickets because it's legal in my state and I'm a piece of shit. My parents had high hopes for me until I started failing school because of depression. I'm sort of a hipster when it comes to clothing only because I have serious identity issues.

Comedian John Gardner

John Gardner was born and raised in the Lake City neighborhood of Seattle. He knows that’s nothing to brag about. Raised by Reagan Republicans who gardened, composted, and donated to Green Peace, John grew up confused, and that’s before he started Catholic School. While he looks like the epitome of a 1950’s white guy, his perspective is far from clean-cut.  An accountant by day, and a comedian by night, John’s mid-life crisis started in his twenties, and he does not appear to be growing out of it. John considers comedy his true calling, although no one called him to do it. John has been building his act in his home city of Seattle for the last 8 years, which is too long. His progress is evidenced by the fact that his friends still come out to see him, depending on who else is on the show.
