Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival and Anger Management Comedy present a Saturday night filled with laughter and good vibes with professional stand-up comedian Daniel Eachus — as seen on Comedy Central, FOX and HULU — onstage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Saturday, July 13 at 7 p.m.
The show will also feature opening acts JC Anderson and Matt Santos.
DANIEL EACHUS
Daniel Eachus is a rising star in the comedy world. Even at such a young age, Eachus has the chops of a comedy veteran, and the world is beginning to take notice. Born and raised in Fresno, CA, he was surrounded by farms but didn’t want to smell raisins for the rest of his life. So, he turned to comedy to get him out. For college, Daniel’s wish came true, and he left Fresno to study in Long Beach, CA. By day, he was a student. By night, he performed on the stand-up comedy circuit. After just one year of nightly performances, he became the youngest finalist ever in the Funniest Comic in Los Angeles contest.
Daniel’s television career quickly took off when he made it to the finals on Comedy Central’s Up Next, which then led to his second televised appearance on several episodes of FOX & HULU’s Laughs. Since then, Eachus has put out two stand-up albums with 800 Pound Gorilla Records that have been playing regularly on Sirius XM, Spotify, iTunes, and Pandora. And his debut Dry Bar Comedy special A Mild and Skinny Guy now has over a million total views!
But doing stand-up is simply not enough for Daniel. Eachus launched his writing career by co-writing LOL Network’s Dead House (produced by comedy giant Kevin Hart). In 2021, he solidified himself as a bona fide author with the release of his first book of comedic short stories titled A Day at the Zoo in 2062.
Daniel has starred in 22 national television commercials — advertising everything from Dollar Shave Club to ESPN to Fruit of the Loom underwear and the holy grail of commercial acting, Oscar Mayer. His first movie appearance came in 2022, with a lighthearted role in the Paramount+ film “Amy and Peter Are Getting Divorced”.
JC ANDERSON
JC has appeared on NBC Sports, Amazon Prime and has performed at Improv, Laugh Factory, LA Comedy Club, Orpheum Theater, Comedy Palace, Stand Up Live, House of Comedy, IMPROV and Stir Crazy. He has shared the stage with Nick DiPaolo, Doug Stanhope, Shang, Dana Carvey, Lisa Landry, Bruce Baum, Craig Gass, Jim Breuer, Adam Devine, Preacher Lawson, and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.
JC’s other short careers was professional wrestling and a stuntman where he has appeared in several movies. JC’s latest movie “States” was released on Amazon Prime in 2021.
When not performing, JC is a comedy producer for the Orpheum Theater in Flagstaff, Elks Crystal Ballroom in Prescott Arizona, and was a part of the production team for the annual Big Pine Comedy Festival held in Flagstaff and San Diego. JC was also selected as a SLO comedy festival performer in 2023.
