This was a fascinating character study with wild turns! I was enthralled and stunned at the same time. Would love to see this turned into a movie someday. ... full review

Hal gave a whirlwind performance as he took us through the story of his life. While hilarious, it was also raw, and Hal’s willingness to be vulnerable on stage in front of so many people is commendable. Hal’s story, how he survived, and how he moved on, likely rescued others in the audience tonight without him even knowing it. Bravo, my friend. ... full review

A great resource to discover there's a Auntie Anne's at the Glendale Galleria! JDADDC is packed with great authentic characters that make you want to laugh, grown, cry, and applaud. There were plenty of relatable moments between his family and mine expertly paired with pure unhinged stories perfectly transposed through the vessel known to the industry as Hal Ridnick that left my jaw on the floor and I laughs tumbled out.... full review
