Not just funny, but also thought provoking, Dwight Slade has been billed as "The Northwest's Most Dangerous Mind.  Known for his high energy and sharpened wit which he honed as a talk-radio fixture in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Dwight has a unique way of expressing the little things that annoy us all.  The San Antonio Express writes “Slade restores one’s faith in comedy as the great equalizer.  At his cerebral best he becomes the voice of the little man looking for a little justice—and just maybe a little payback—for life’s mundane humiliations.”

But the real payback for Dwight, is his smashing national and international success in comedy clubs, at comedy festivals and on television and radio.  Winner of The 2008 Boston Comedy Festival, featured on HBO’s “The Best Of The US Comedy Arts Festival”, five-star reviewed by Scotland’s Minister Of Culture at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a favorite at the Montreal “Just For Laughs” Comedy Festival, Vancouver Laugh Fest and Glasgow Comedy Festival, audiences and industry alike delight in the discovery of the energetic and twisted mind that is Dwight Slade.

You may have seen Dwight on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed,” the E! Network, The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, on tour with “The Friends of The Bob and Tom Show” or in his film debut on the Lifetime Movie “Inconceivable.”   And watch for the upcoming release of his new DVD, “Right and Raunch.”

Beginning in Junior High, Slade, along with his boyhood friend legendary comedian Bill Hicks, had lofty dreams of a career in standup comedy.  The two began studying comedians on the Tonight Show, writing jokes and sneaking out of their suburban Houston homes on their bikes to auditions and open mikes.  The comedy team’s career suffered a major setback when Dwight’s mother caught the duo looking at Playboy Magazine and forbade Slade to see Hicks. Ignoring his mother’s mandate, the pair continued their search for laughs and even bummed rides from friends when, at age 16, they successfully began their run of paid gigs.   The under-aged performers were often asked to wait outside the club until show time.

The single father of two has had a long and impressive career and has performed with the best, from Jay Leno to Jerry Seinfeld, Lynyrd Skynrd, and Dave Chappelle.   He is a favorite on cruise ships, clubs, colleges and corporate events.   Fans can also hear his cd’s “Weird State” and “Shut Up” on broadcast and satellite radio.  An electronic press kit can be downloaded from Slade’s website: www.dwightslade.com
