Dan Oster performed for two years in Amsterdam with American improv comedy theater Boom Chicago, after which he returned to Los Angeles to join the cast of MADtv. Since then, Dan created the comedy web series Titled Sketch Project, joined rock ‘n’ roll sketch comedy troupe Lost Moon Radio, and portrayed Bill Clinton in the Second City LA show “President Hillary” (which sadly turned out to be fiction). In 2016, Dan appeared on Bizaardvark for The Disney Channel and on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack for truTV. Around town, you can find him doing shows as Agent Slash Manager with Mission IMPROVable, and telling stories about that one time he took an acting workshop with Alan Arkin.
