IMDb profile

Insomniac with Dave Attell is a television show on Comedy Central hosted by comedian Dave Attell. In the typical Insomniac, Attell goes through a particular city at night, starting out with a few minutes of his performance at a comedy club and then going to various bars, landmarks, clubs, etc. Along the way he cracks jokes with passersby and takes pictures with a disposable camera. The thrill of the show revolves around the truly bizarre denizens of the night that Dave encounters at all hours of the night. Mostly Dave wanders around cities in North America, but more recently he has been to Germany and Japan as well. The show always ends when the sun comes up (One exception being the episode filmed in Alaska, where the sun was during the "nighttime" hours), Dave bids his camera crew and the audience farewell (with the admonishment "Get some sleep!"), and looks for a place to crash.
