His comedic routine includes subject matter from a wide variety of areas, including pirates, Internet dating and strangeness of celebrity worship in America.

Cummins has played venues nationwide, including multiple television commercials, a stand up routine on "Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and multiple national comedy tours.He received strong reviews from Comedy Central as well as critics of the 2006 Las Vegas Comedy Festival.

He is a contributor to the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Show and was featured on Bob & Tom's 2002 Best of CD Bob & Tom Gone Wild. In 2003, Dan was a national semi-finalist in the Comedy Central Laugh Riots competition. In July 2005, Dan appeared at the New Faces show of the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.
