Dan LaMorte is many things, but the one that comes to mind is a comedian. He’s become one of the youngest touring headliners in the US at the age of just 25. His two albums, Infect Me Once and Not Enough Pieces, debuted at #2 and #6 on the iTunes charts, respectively. Both albums are regularly broadcast on SiriusXM’s comedy channels and have amassed over one million Pandora views. He’s appeared on Getting Doug With High, FOX’s Red Eye, Gotham Comedy Live, NextVR’s Live from Gotham Comedy, and the Big Sky Comedy Festival, among other shows. Lamorte recently gained notoriety as a stoned-running weight-loss guru, having lost 180 pounds and having his story featured in magazines such as Runner’s World and Muscle and Fitness.
Lamorte found himself in a hospital bed at the age of 23, weighing 354 pounds and suffering from a fatty liver. He understood then that something had to be done. Lamorte has lost over 180 pounds and discovered a passion for running in the three years since. He frequently keeps up with his fans on social media and has influenced many people by sharing his experience. Lamorte’s next show, “The Best Days,” will be a podcast aimed at uplifting people, speaking about the happiest days they’ve ever had in this cultural moment of negativity and confusion, and deciding what can be done to put ourselves in the best possible position to have a good day.
