ABOUT DUSTIN
Dustin Chafin is a nationally headlining comedian whose sharp storytelling and fearless crowd work have taken him from HBO's Crashing and Showtime's Comedy Showcase to festivals and theaters nationwide, including arenas with Nate Bargatze. A Texas-born, NYC-raised comic, Dustin's quick wit and unapologetic honesty power a style he calls "crafted chaos" -- where no two shows are ever the same. He's been featured on WTF with Marc Maron, released two comedy albums in rotation on SiriusXM, and recently dropped his DryBar Comedy Special Cranky Pants. Whether riffing on addiction, family, relationships, or our collective obsessions -- like flying with our dogs -- Dustin brings a raw, hilarious humanity to every performance.

ORIGINAL PODCASTS
CHASING COMEDY
Hosted by Brian Scott McFadden & Dustin Chafin
Chasing Comedy is where stand-up dreams go to live, die, and occasionally kill. Hosted by veteran comics Dustin Chafin and Brian Scott McFadden, this weekly podcast dives headfirst into the glorious mess of comedy life, breaking down the chaos and craft of comedy—sharing road stories, riffing on current events, and workshopping new bits live on air. No filters, no fake laughs—just real comics chasing the next big bit (and occasionally their dignity). It’s raw, real, and relentlessly funny.
Whether you're a comedy nerd, an aspiring comic, an industry veteran or just here for the chaos, Chasing Comedy delivers raw riffs, brutal honesty, and belly laughs (intentional or not). From legendary sets to behind-the-scenes banter, they reveal what it truly takes to chase laughs in today’s comedy world.

Colorado Gazette Feature (2025)
Comedian Dustin Chafin will touch on sobriety, anxiety in Colorado Springs
“The longtime comedian is celebrating 15 years of sobriety, and while there’s not much about addiction that’s funny, he’s turned it into stand-up material. ‘I’ve moved from drugs and alcohol to dieting with my girlfriend to eating doughnuts in the car in the dark,’ Chafin said from home in Los Angeles. ‘The same energy I used to hide drugs and alcohol now I use to hide Krispy Kreme. We’re all addicted to something. It’s just who we are.’”

Comedy Cake Review (2020)
Layers: Even A Pandemic Can’t Kill A Comedy Cowboy’s Spirit! Listen to DUSTIN CHAFIN’S “The Zoom Album 2020” Now Out!
“…You really know a comedian has what it takes when they can get the big laughs recording an album on a desktop screen in front of friends and strangers. Not only has Chafin managed to deliver an album rich in stories about family and the blessed pre-COVID world, but he’s managed to make the listener feel that they are just comfortably hanging with a new friend who is more than happy to share some colorfully tinted life experiences.”

Icing: We Talked to Rock Star Comic DUSTIN CHAFIN About His Engaging One-on-One Interview Podcast I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS
“…Just six degrees of separation away from many comics, Chafin has “self admittedly partied with the greats, burned some bridges (and then lit a few more on fire), gotten sober, run clubs, been kicked out of clubs, started new clubs, performed on TV, been on radio, toured with the USO, fought with his dad over stand-up, gotten into therapy, reunited with his dad, written for shows, mended relationships, ended relationships and all while getting on stage at least 6 nights a week in New York City.”

NPR, Sports And Stand-Up: A Comedy Experiment (2016)
“‘Trump is kinda like the Rudy of politics. Like, it's kinda been fun watching him run for president, but we're not going to let him play a whole game,’ comedian Dustin Chafin joked during a stand-up routine about a month before the election. Chafin was part of an experiment that Only A Game concocted with the Broadway Comedy Club in New York City.
…And Dustin Chafin said...’I'm part Native American. Choctaw. That’s a thing. And I can't take the sports logos, right — the Native American teams. Ain't that still racist? People don't realize how racist that is, right? Washington Redskins. Cleveland Indians. You couldn't do that to any other race.’”
