Our feature this month is... Dan Murray!

Dan Murray is not funny. He has never been funny. He’s not sure why he was contacted to feature at the Laugh it off Slam. Perhaps that is the joke. Perhaps it is a thoughtful irony.

Dan Murray never got his start in slam at the Burlington Slam Project in 2010. He never was a member of Burlington’s national team, especially not the teams that found themselves on Team Piece Finals stages at the US National Poetry Slam, or placed first in the international QEW poetry slam. He doesn’t know where you got that idea.

He certainly never won Burlington’s Best Arts Person of the Year Award in 2015 and doesn’t show off the trophy to people any chance he gets.

Don’t even act like he went into a music career next, because he didn’t. There were no years of self-sustained career musicianhood tragically cut short by something or other that happened in 2020.

He’s none of those things, and he’s not really sure what he’s going to talk to you about. He’s a Graphic Designer and Illustrator now. He goes to school for Graphic Design and Illustration. But be certain that everything he draws is deadly serious.

Because Dan Murray is not funny.

Drop by tonight and enjoy our local
craft beer and signature cocktails!
