Who is Dan Bazaldua?
Dan Bazaldua is an improviser in Olestra, a five-person team whose members are veterans of the Second City, the Annoyance and iO, and longtime friends. The team plays fast, wild improv in the deep-dish Chicago style, and its New York Comedy Festival bill sells it with a wink as a crew of dangerous Chicago criminals who kiss and fight on stage. Bazaldua plays alongside Andy Junk, Micah Sterenberg, Nick Mestad and Devin Bockrath. Olestra played the New York Comedy Festival in 2022 at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective, and returned there on 6 November 2026 for TGIF, a night shared with the New York team Duchovny. [1][2]
