Dane Cook

While Dane Cook has his fair share of detractors in the comedy community, the cashew-chucking, super finger-flipping comedian didn't get to headlining arena shows on ego alone. His strong stage presence and knack for storytelling are regularly on display at the Laugh Factory, where he holds the endurance record with a set over seven and a half hours long. And even some of his critics have softened their tone after a revealing conversation on Marc Maron's WTF and a semi-fictionalized appearance on Louie.
