What I liked

There really is no way to describe the fantastical tale that unfolds in this show. It’s part science fiction, part horror, part coming-of-age story… all drenched in a Southern Gothic vibe that truly is enchanting. In the end, you can’t help but wonder about decisions made by the characters within Dandy Darkly’s stories of triumph and failure, but isn’t part of being human making decisions and then living with the consequences? This is a mischievous mix of dark humor and optimism. It is well worth taking this ride.

What I didn't like

Give this man a bigger stage!!! His mischievous personality deserves more room to play.

My overall impression

Dandy Darkly is an impressive storyteller who yearns, or perhaps NEEDS to tell you some very dark tales. He balances between narrator and hypnotist as he weaves the story of a young boy who witnesses evil.
