Early life

His father, a truck driver, died when Humbarger was 13; Humbarger told Capital Public Radio that the event brought a dark edge to his comedy.

Humbarger's comedy is observational and often dark.[6] Describing his comedy, Lesley Goldwater of the Carson City, Nevada news site Carson Now said that "Daniel uses his dark sense of humor to explore subjects that are smart, weird, sometimes inappropriate and personal."[7]
