Emily Van Dyke

San Francisco-based comedian Emily Van Dyke has been performing stand-up for over a decade, but she has yet to put out an album of her work. That all changes on Feb. 9 as her innovative debut, Feeling Myself, will be available in all its hilarious glory via Blonde Medicine.

In approaching the recording – which was done at The Independent in San Francisco – Van Dyke did things a little differently than most artists. Rather than focusing on an hour’s worth of her most recent material, she mined the last ten years for deep cuts, favorites, and newly adapted jokes from her comedy career.

A seasoned veteran of comedy clubs, festivals, and theaters across the country, Nate has perfected the art of finding humor in the everyday absurdities of modern life—especially when viewed through a slightly hazy lens.
