Lewisville Grand presents DAD JOKES: AN EVENING OF STAND-UP COMEDY


Lewisville Grand Theater

When four professional comedians become fathers, it brings a whole new meaning to “Dad jokes.” 
Dad Jokes: An Evening of Stand-up Comedy features:

Aaron Aryanpur

Funniest Comic in Texas 2012 Winner Aaron Aryanpur has appeared in comedy clubs, theaters, colleges, festivals, arenas, bars, boardrooms and (literally) living rooms across the country. Recently making his national TV debut on FOX’s Laughs and a frequently requested comedian and headliner in his own right, Aaron was also a Semifinalist in both Comedy Central’s Up Next Talent Search and NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity. His album In Spite Of (through Stand Up! Records) debuted at #7 on the iTunes Comedy Chart and quickly reached #1. The following week, it placed on the Billboard Comedy Albums Top 10.

While Aaron’s act covers a variety of topics, it is his experiences as a husband to a patient wife and an exhausted father to two young boys that landed him a spot on the Minivan Men podcast with fellow funny dads Maz Jobrani (Axis of Evil Comedy Tour) and Al Madrigal (The Daily Show).  His takes on marriage and parenthood have also been featured on Comedy Central Radio and 24/7 Comedy Radio. As a contributing joke writer for a variety of programs and publications, Aaron has covered topics ranging from current events to celebrity fashion to Stephen Hawking – sadly though, not a combination of all three. At least, not yet.

With over ten years of experience on numerous stages and a background that includes writing, performing, improvisation and voice-over, Aaron delivers laughs show after show with his unique perspective and expressive, likable delivery.  His show has been called “controlled, engaging, open and vulnerable; ultimately, he’s relatable and very funny.”

Daryl Felsberg

No mistaking, when Daryl Felsberg is on stage, this larger than life comic commands a room everywhere he goes. From his stories of his children and life to his discontent about social media and people, Daryl keeps crowds involved, entertained and in stitches! His voice inflection and passion keeps people in the room not knowing what absurd  humor is going to come out of his mouth. Whether it's well crafted and precise jokes or completely improvised streams of consciousness, Daryl makes friends and fans out of all audiences. 

In October 2017 Daryl released his album, Truth or Daryl, which climbed to the #3 spot on the iTunes Charts and landed him #19 on Billboard’s Comedy Albums chart. 

In November 2019, he with two other comedy friends shot a special for Amazon called "Dad Jokes," which released in March of 2020. 

Brandon Davidson

Touring comedian and writer Brandon Davidson’s comedy is based on his experience as a father, husband and BBQ lover. He's played clubs, casinos and believes that the movie Roadhouse is criminally underrated. He once used the restroom next to former President Bill Clinton at a movie theater during a showing of Encino Man (starring Pauly Shore). He’s cohost of the ComedyBBQ podcast which pairs touring comics with tasty barbecue. He’s also a two time semi-finalist for the Funniest Comic in Texas competition.

Tyler Elliott

Tyler Elliott is tall. Originally from Oklahoma, he now calls Texas his home. Tyler got his start at the old DCH building. He’s done a few shows since then.

He has performed in multiple cities and clubs, opening for National Acts such as The Sklar Brothers, Brian Posehn, Shane Mauss, Pauly Shore, Matt Braunger, Josh Wolf and many others. Tyler was a Finalist for Funniest Comic in Texas in 2016.
