David Segal

David Segal has studied at the UCB since 2003. He is best known as a
member of the sketch group Olde English where he has written,
directed, and starred in countless videos since the group's inception
in 2002. He has performed with them at HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival
in Aspen, three San Francisco Sketchfests, and at Very Fresh, their
monthly variety show of all-new material at the UCB in New York. His
video work with the group has gained wide exposure both online and
off, most notably with the breakout hit, "Ben takes a photo of himself
everyday", which he co-wrote. The video has had over 2.5 million
views on YouTube, was aired on Good Morning America, and was featured
in a Mountain Dew commercial. In 2007, he co-wrote and starred in
"Free NYC", Olde English's protest video targeting proposed
regulations that would have severely limited the rights of filmmakers
and photographers in New York City. The video gained wide acclaim
thanks to the New York Civil Liberties Union and an article in the New
York Times, and ultimately the regulations were dropped. David can
currently be found with the rest of Olde English making videos for
SuperDeluxe. He resides in Brooklyn, NY, where he ponders where in
his bio he should mention that he graduated from Bard College in 2005.
