Jersey Devil: A Dead Dad Comedy

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 darkly hilarious, poignant, well-performed show with lots of incredible stories. Makes you appreciate the parents you had, because guaranteed they weren't this bad!... 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

Fantaaaastiiiiic!!! Hal is hilarious and fascinating to watch—I laughed throughout the whole show which he carried superbly!! A MUST-SEE of the fringe festival…or ANY festival!!... full review

Such a great show about a father’s wild life. The show twisted and turned further than I thought it would, and just when I thought I had seen the best it got better. If you get a chance to come out and see the show, do it. This story will live on with me for a long time. Great job Hal, and thanks for sharing a special story with us.... full review

Great show! The show never dips in energy and is engaging all the way through. A thoughtful piece of comedy about a son's tumultuous relationship with their dad and the way they found love for them. Great balance of storytelling and character comedy. ... full review

I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to see this show. At the risk of sounding a bit facetious, this show is perfect for a father figure / offspring outing. ... full review

A brilliantly paced, brilliantly performed and hilarious story of a son growing up with a complicated and larger-than-life father (and his many vices) in the 80's. ... full review

Such a fun, high energy whirlwind of a show!! I loved Hal’s portrayal of his dad. I couldn’t believe the situations he went through as a kid and loved hearing about them through the person he is today!!... full review
