Comedian DW Surine

My material is never offensive and can be family friendly upon request. I always include material specific to the event or organization for which I'm performing.

Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, DW began performing in the 5th grade. This love for music and theater would continue in high school and would later lead to a degree in theater arts. After college, DW continued with his love for theater, both as an actor and as a writer. He has been in dozens of productions in Minnesota community theaters, and his plays have won several awards. While also pursuing a career as a Christian rap artist under the name, "Little Weasel" he recorded 2 albums and performed at churches and Bible camps in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

But all this time, DW kept a file of jokes on index cards in his room. One bright summer day, he realized that these jokes weren’t meant to remain hidden, and he began to tell these jokes in front of a microphone. In his comedy, DW opens up to the audience and shares his life as a semi-nerd with a receding hair line and a marriage to a woman as bizarre as he is.

Now, banker by day and comedian by night, DW has been seen at comedy clubs across the Twin Cities as well as corporate and private events. His interactive but non-abrasive style makes him perfect for any event from holiday parties to church fundraisers. DW believes that any event regardless of how big or small, is important, and he treats every show with the same level of respect and professionalism. Having been in the performance business for decades, he understands that the way you conduct yourself on stage is just as important as your behavior off stage. DW’s main goal in life is to make people happy; from the manager of the club to the audience member in the back row.

For larger venues, a microphone may be required. Other than that, all other materials will be provided.
