David Dineen-Porter

David Dineen-Porter (he/him) is a writer, podcaster, and musician from Canada. He spent most of his life struggling against — but now gleefully accepts — multiple neurodivergences. He has a preference for stories about loners and outcasts struggling to fit into systems that have rejected them, either as drama or as comedy.

A graduate of the University of Toronto with a degree in Assyriology, after graduating, he studied improv at Second City and launched a career as a comedian doing sketch and stand-up.

In 2013, he was signed by APA and began working with Reggie Watts, Nathan Fielder, Sarah Silverman and others, before being hired for the inaugural writer’s room of the Late Late Show with James Corden. David went on to work with Justin Willman, co-creating the show Magic for Humans for Netflix.

He is represented by David Meese at William Morris Endeavour and Olivia Gerke and Trevor Rotenberg at 3 Arts.
