Missionary Positions

Overall, this was THE BEST SHOW I have seen at fringe, starring the best male performance I got the privilege of witnessing at fringe. Dan's charisma, vulnerability, and genuine care for humanity and the wellbeing of his audience was evident throughout the entire show; especially at the climactic moment at the end where we collectively yelled the F word; letting go of our personal demons and resistance against religion. No show left me with as many tear stains or reminded me more of the cathartic power of theatre to heal. Missionary Positions was a safe space to questions, to criticize, and to laugh at he absolute absurdity that is the human condition, organized religion, and indeed ourself. I am SO glad I got to experience this show. From s... full review

I feel like I went to church! Not in a bad way, but the kind of church you leave feeling seen, heard and connected. ... full review

This show is incredible. The writing is weaved together beautifully. Dan is engaging and dynamic on stage. He manages to be as affective in making the audience laugh as he does in re-shaping our souls.... full review

Dan’s show encompasses the feelings so many feel about their walk in religion. His candid, hilarious, heartfelt, sympathetic take on his own walk is a light guiding others along theirs.... full review

BIG surprise of the fest. Was wary going in because of a personal history with religion, but was VERY quickly won over. Funny, engaging, deeply emotional without ever feeling like it’s trying to wring you. Beautifully written and performed, excited to see more from Dan... full review

Dan is such a talented storyteller. The show was compelling and very well-paced — it did not feel like 80 minutes! At any given moment, I was laughing out loud or shedding a tear. An emotional roller coaster in the best way possible. ... full review

One of the best shows I've seen at Fringe this year. I knew it would be funny? but I wasn't expecting to be losing it for *most* of the show. I cannot stress enough how funny this show is. But not only that, Its also healing. Dan leads us through a, real jungle, so to speak, his journey through religion and faith, and even though the show is about getting lost, you really walk out of it feeling like lost is exactly where you're supposed to be. Dan truly had his audience wrapped around his finger and we were in good hands. Really beautifully done. ... full review
