Missionary Positions

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

What a fantastic show! Articulate, evocative, and so freaking funny. My upbringing couldn't be more different from Dan's, yet the whole piece was completely relatable. I'd see it again and highly recommend it to anyone. ... full review

Dan is exceptional! He made 75 minutes disappear with his honest, heartfelt, and humble story. You can tell that he is passionate about this journey and his willingness to be open and share it with others is an inspiration! I laughed, cried and listened as he seamlessly bounced from character to character to bring his story to life. ... full review

Dan is a master storyteller. He’s both funny and earnest, and his presence on stage is both commanding and comforting. With Dan, you never have to worry about the show going off the rails. From the very top of the show until the final bow, the audience feels safe in Dan’s huge hands.... full review

“Missionary Positions” was one of the most moving, hilarious, entertaining, spiritual experiences that I’ve ever had in a theater. Dan’s life story is unbelievable, but the wit and grace with which he conveys it is unparalleled. I cannot express how absolutely urgently you must experience this performance. Life changing. Life affirming. ... full review

When a 6’7 giant can make you tear up, then you know something incredible has happened/ is happening. One of my favorites so far at Fringe for sure! Dan takes you on an interesting journey of getting lost with fabulous storytelling through his actions, accents, dynamic characters, wit and talent. Between his comedic timing and deep vulnerability, not only is the writing superb, but his acting will leave you tired from laughing and heartbroken with the message. ... full review

"Missionary Positions" is one of the most moving, well-written, and exceptionally performed shows I've seen. Dan's story is truly unique, and he seamlessly interwove universal themes of faith, identity, child-parent relationships, love, and spirituality into an entertaining, yet incredibly deep solo performance. From the moment he walked on stage, it was clear this show is a MasterClass. He's a super talented actor and writer, and I hope his show continues to thrive and reach as many audiences as possible! Dan, thank you for sharing your story with us. You've inspired me deeply! ... full review

Dan commanded the stage in a tour de force performance combining meticulous technical elements (audio and visual) with a profound story of personal redemption. His statements about American Christianity felt deeply honed and resonated with the entire audience. ... full review
