David Andrew Laws (aka DAGL) [he/they] is a Nashville-born, Kentucky-raised, Pittsburgh-educated, Bulgaria-enlightened, New York-based bard.

His passion for “comedy science” infuses all of his work with quick wit and deep themes. His time as a performer in the off-Broadway hit Drunk Shakespeare and as the artistic director of his own company, Hamlet Isn’t Dead, were instrumental to the development of his voice and stylings. His most exciting works include the award-winning Saving Wonderland with Seize the Show, his sci-fi b-movie comedy Attack! of the Killer Man from the Sun!, and Dungeons & Dragons The Twenty-Sided Tavern, returning to NYC in April 2024.
