What I liked

Dan’s fast-paced delivery and twisted facial expressions. Extra props to the lighting technician, especially for the final creepy sequence.

What I didn't like

Maybe slow down the manic pace just a tad so some of the humor doesn’t get lost. But it’s a minor issue because the frenetic pace is part of the fun!

My overall impression

This is a funny, solo tour de force black comedy of all the obnoxious people Dan was endlessly pouring drinks for, including a journey through the hellish inspection process. His burned out persona and almost grotesque impersonations made this show darkly satisfying.
