Dave Horwitz is a comedian, blogger and television writer. He is a graduate of Emerson College in Boston.[2]
Along with Marisa Pinson, Horwitz co-created the blog "Dealbreaker", described as an “hilarious reference guide to the qualities that, when discovered, transform the ‘date you hope to go home with’ into the ‘date you pray never calls again’”. The blog eventually found success outside of the Internet. It was turned into a book, optioned by Radar Pictures and later bought by ABC Television and producer Nahnatchka Khan for further development on television.[3]. He also co-created the web series "Downers Grove" along with Michael Blaiklock, Justin Becker, and Elisha Yaffe for Warner Brothers.[4][1][5]
He frequently performs at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in Los Angeles with his sketch group A Kiss From Daddy. He wrote on the first season of ABC's Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and is currently writing on How to Live with Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life), premiering next year on ABC.[4][1]
He currently resides in Los Angeles.
