March 5, 2026Absolutely Phenomenal, Wow! We want an Encore!!!
Dan Viola absolutely demolished the house at our AHEPA Ottawa Comedy Night Fundraiser. Talk about exceeding expectations! From his clever observational humor to those killer punchlines that caught everyone off guard, Dan had us laughing so hard we could barely catch our breath. His set was a perfect blend of smart, edgy jokes and heartfelt moments that resonated with the whole audience, making the night feel like a shared celebration. Better than anyone anticipated, Dan turned our fundraiser into a comedy triumph, raising spirits (and funds!) sky high. If you haven't seen him live, you're missing out on pure comedic gold. AHEPA owes him a standing ovation!

June 16, 2025Outstanding Performance Beyond Expectations
From the very beginning, Dan was nothing but professional—and that didn’t stop on event day. He stayed in touch, showed up on time, and made the long drive—hundreds of kilometers—to our home without missing a beat. He made my wife’s milestone birthday celebration sincere, hilarious, clean, and warmly familial. Dan fit seamlessly into the crowd and graciously stayed overtime to connect one-on-one with guests. A sincere professional and a true class act—I truly couldn’t have asked for more. Days later, my wife still feels as special as I had hoped she would, and guests are still talking about the performance.
Thanks again, Dan. Hope to partner with you again. Bless you.

September 11, 2018Outstanding!
“Thank you for the BEST OPENING DAY speaker in all my 29 years!! Absolutely hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
This was just one of hundreds of similar emails I received after Dan Viola performed for our staff on opening day. Our audience consisted of over 470 employees from all departments in our school district. Dan had everyone “rolling in the aisles” as he was able to customize his material for our District as well as departments. I strongly recommend Dan for any event!
