Dustin Chafin

Dustin Chafin is a nationally headlining stand-up comedian, born in Kilgore, Texas, who came up in New York City’s clubs. His official bio says his mix of storytelling and crowd work is a style he calls “crafted chaos.”

He studied fine arts and fashion design at Parsons School of Design, traded busboy shifts at the New York Comedy Club for late-night stage time, and honed his act in rooms like the Comic Strip and the Comedy Cellar. He has appeared on HBO’s Crashing and Showtime, released two comedy albums and the Dry Bar Comedy special Cranky Pants, and toured for U.S. troops across thirteen countries.

On WTF with Marc Maron (episode 1659) he talks about giving a young Nate Bargatze his first stage time. He tours arenas with Bargatze and co-hosts the podcast Chasing Comedy with Brian Scott McFadden.

On Public Figures Ep #39 (Oct 28, 2026), he is on the bill at Nate’s 15,000-seat show at BYU–Idaho, with a joke about the school’s old name, Ricks College.
