Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 15, 2012•From Webster, NY
WOW!! The phone hasn't stopped ringing. My husband and I hosted our 50th Anniversary with a party at "Hedges Nine Mile Point Restaurant overlooking Lake Ontario.
Everyone thought Dan was a guest and when he got up to do his act, people thought he was simply giving a toast. What a wonderful surprise had by everyone . Dan provided plenty of clean laughter and entertainment not only for the adults but also for our grandchildren ages 10-28. He captured our guests attention right from the beginning and continued until he signed off.
Recommend Dan???? IN A HEART BEAT.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 12, 2011•From Montreal, QC
The epitome of professional is what Dan Viola is. From the very first point of contact he: was honest and upfront about booking details, offered helpful suggestions on how to best incorporate his talent, and responsive (very timely!) and accomodating to all our event needs. We booked him for a corporate event, but I have no doubt his professionalism would extend to all types of gigs.
And the most important factor:
This. Guy. Is. FUNNY!
He even took the time to personally connect with our guests (we had a cocktail hour) before delivering his material. So don't settle for simply the 'funniest' guy...just book Dan - funny, professional and a whole lot of charm!
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 23, 2011•From Stoney Creek, ON
Dan Viola impressed my husband and I, as well as our wedding guests. Many of our guests let us know after the wedding that they had a great time and that the comedian was a great touch. It was obvious that he was prepared for our crowd as we were all able to relate to many of his jokes. I would reccommend Dan to anyone who is ready to have a good laugh!!
Thanks Dan, for helping us have a wonderful night!

Club Event•Reviewed on May 17, 2011•From Port Allegany, PA
Dan promptly responded to my bid request. His bid was fair. I looked him up on YouTube, and found his routine hilarious. We kept in contact throughout the period leading up to our scheduled show. He checked in with me every couple of weeks, to make sure ticket sales were going well and if I needed anything from him.
He sent me a press kit featuring head shots of the three comedians scheduled to perform at our Comedy Night. I couldn't have been more happy with the turn out at our event, and how much fun everyone had.
Anyone that books Dan Viola is getting a professional, who works with you every step of the way, to make sure that your event is great.
Retirement Party•Reviewed on May 21, 2012•From Rochester, NY
I hired Dan to perform for 1/2 hour at my husband's retirement party. Dan took the information I gave him regarding my husband and was able to make it very personable; in fact, some people thought he really knew him. It was all done in good taste and everybody enjoyed it very much. I would recommend Dan to others interested in hiring a comedian. Thanks.
Fundraiser•Reviewed on April 14, 2011•From Toronto, ON
Dan was a great addition to our Fundraiser / Gala Evening. He provided comedy that helped everyone relax, feel welcome, and gather together as a group. He was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating to what we needed for our special event. Having Dan at the mic took pressure of of me (the organizer) and that itself was a gift. But throw in some great laughs (his material was perfectly matched to our audience) and it was clear that I made the right choice in hiring Dan!!
Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2010•From Erie, PA
Dan was great all around. He responded to the bid request quickly, stayed in touch until the event, and catered his performance to our crowd. When the day finally came, Dan did a great job of entertaining our versatile, tough to entertain group!
Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 30, 2015•From Ithaca, NY
Dan was on time, polite and very social with the group before performance. His diverse areas of topics to discuss were well received and noone felt uncomfortable. Performing for a a University is a challenge and Dan did well trying not to touch on hot topics that would cause heartburn for anyone. Talking about his family and children was the best and many could relate.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on June 24, 2011•From Niagara Falls, ON
Dan was a pleasure to work with. He was very accommodating, professional, and brought excitement to the evening. Dan's energy leading up to the event helped put me at ease. I knew his excitement would transfer to the crowd and make it fun for them. The event definitely wouldn't have been the same without him. Many thanks!
