"Cartoons, Comedy, and Compassion" Dan Piraro (Creator of Bizarro)

An experienced speaker and stand-up comedian, Dan Piraro's presentations are a unique hybrid of the two. His subject matter typically includes a wide variety of topics from his cartoon career to his political views and his path to animal advocacy and veganism. Piraro uses videos, still images, cartoons, songs, stories, and the occasional onstage-drawing to communicate his ideas. Audiences are brought from laughter to concern to empathy and back again in this informative and entertaining presentation.
Dan Piraro first published his internationally syndicated comic feature, Bizarro, in 1986. He has also published fourteen books. He has traveled the nation as a standup comedian and will be featured later this year in HBOs "Comic Relief." Bizarro has won numerous awards including an unprecedented three consecutive "Best Panel" awards from the National Cartoonists Society. He and his wife live in New York City and are passionate vegans and animal rights/ environmental activists.
