DAN MCLAUGHLIN was Born in Hollywood during a Rams game and raised in The Valley which was followed by multi-decade stints at UCLA and as a government bureaucrat which has given Dan an appreciation for the subtle and sometimes capricious agency of actions and words. Among his philosophical influences he cites Thomas Kuhn, Ed Syznaka, David Springhorn, Luis Herrera, Paul Feyerabend, the Reduced Shakespeare Company and Bullwinkle the Moose.
Before ICE Girls, his first novel, Dan’s most recent creative effort was the award winning musical "Oh No, Not Emily!" an operetta of academia, fraud and Emily Dickinson. Before that he and his partner Mark Sellin were the folk lounge comedy phenomenon "2 Guys from the 70's" where they single handidly tried to cram the emotional honesty of the 1970's down the gullets of audiences of all ages. Before that, again with his good friend and partner Mark and several other friends, Dan was a street performer and wrote and directed and acted in several plays at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Southern California, including their greatest hit "Ye Old Tale of Goode King Arthur" with its associated "Laughter Workshop." Also from that era he created several Iliad and Odyssey radio plays entitled “The Tales of Ulysses”, including the perennial favorites “Going Home and Getting Lucky” and the “Big Horsey Ride.”
Mr. McLaughlin is currently beginning to work on his latest work, “The Sorrows of Young Werther’s (Therapist).” He insists this is a very funny joke. So far, the world seems to disagree.
