please don't cry
KAMI DIMITROVA certified reviewer June 22, 2026
Um run dont walk. Dione's story will rock you to the highest of highs and lowest of lows. At one point you're laughing hysterically and the next you're crying so hard you can't breathe. And sometimes, you'll be doing both at the same time. Dione's story is one that can't be missed. Please go see this! ... full review

I spent two days completely stressed out trying to figure out if disposable vapes were suddenly banned in Canada or if I had accidentally ordered something completely illegal without knowing the federal laws.... full review

Dione delivered an exceptional performance. Her material was hilarious, and the audience was captivated from beginning to end—fully engaged, immersed, and more than willing to join in whenever she interacted with them. A fantastic show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐... full review

LANE KOIVU certified reviewer June 27, 2026
This was an incredible, heartbreaking/hilarious and ultimately hopeful show about unimaginable tragedy and perseverance. Dione brings such levity and humor to the darkest moments, and it's truly mesmerizing to see. This show is the embodiment of "Some of the darkest moments are when I laughed the hardest". A must see. ... full review
