Dat Phan (born January 25, 1975 in Saigon, South Vietnam), is a Vietnamese American stand-up comedian. When he was a child, he, his mother, and nine of his siblings emigrated to the United States. They suffered financial hardships throughout his childhood. He grew up in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego, California, then spent his teenage years in Santee, California, a suburb of San Diego. Phan was voted most successful of his class at his West Hills High School ten year reunion, and was voted into Grossmont Community College's Walk of Fame.
In 2003, he entered NBC's stand-up comedy competition reality show, Last Comic Standing, and became a finalist in the competition. He was disliked by the other contestants due to his relative inexperience in professional comedy and odd, unconventional behavior. Phan was the unlikely and surprise winner of Last Comic Standing, and subsequently has made cameo appearances in Hollywood films such as Cellular and Love is the Drug. He currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Winner of _"Last Comic Standing" (2003)_.
