Dartanion London

Dartanion London is a comedian from Seattle who practices both stand-up and improv comedy. Noted for his unique, absurdist style, he is one of the most original comics around. At any moment, he may enlist the aid of robotic friends, audience participation, and even jokes. He is an original member of The Seattle Neutrino Project, which pioneered a form of improvised video, and the Sisters of Sal, winners of SFIT’s Cagematch, and currently lives as a cast member of Jet City Improv. He has performed across the United States at festivals for humans (Seattle International Comedy Competition, DCComedyfest, LA Comedy fest) and whales (San Juan Island Orca Fest). In addition to live performances, he also regularly produces comedic video sketches.

In college, Dartanion placed 3rd at the University of Washington’s annual Stand Up Comedy Competition. The next year he did not place. The year after that, he placed 3rd.

He calls that improvement.
