7 Questions with Daniel Carrillo

by Ryan Meehan

Daniel Carrillo is a stand-up comic and writer that grew up and was bullied in Abiliene, TX. before moving to Nashville at 18.  When he was 21, Daniel started performing stand-up because he was a big boy that could do whatever he wanted. His stand-up provides a unique take on his life, relationships, dogs, and providing general cynicism about the generation in which he grew up. In 2014, he performed in the Scruffy City Comedy Festival and has been doing shows all over the Southeast. His writing has been featured on numerous websites including The Impersonals, Thought Catalog, and Someecards. His tweets have been featured on Mandatory, The Chive, and Buzzfeed, to name a few.  His parents support his decision to pursue comedy, and in, no way, wanted him to follow in the footsteps of his family and go to medical school. They can’t stress that enough.  This coming April, Daniel will be featuring on the Comedians of Twitter tour and he’s also our guest today in 7 questions.
