Dan Viola

We had Dan come out to our small church for a comedy night. He brought a friend of his who is a comedian also, and performed a 90 minute show. They both kept it clean and funny, and we received only good feedback from all that attended. The comedy topics were easy to relate to and appropriate to all age groups and touched base on faith as well. Dan was easy to be in contact with, answered all questions asked of him, arrived early to the show that night and had a polite and engaging personality.

We hired Dan for a Corporate Event last week and he was fantastic! He worked with us to ensure his skit incorporated some acronyms and company information that pertained to our employees which made it very relatable to them. He was on-time and made sure he was properly dressed for the occasion and was very easy to work with. We had roughly around 150 guests and I did not hear one bad review from anyone. They all really enjoyed him and said they couldn't stop laughing. Dan was just what our event needed to lighten the mood and fill the room with laughter. I highly recommend Dan for anyone looking to hire a clean, professional and quite frankly hilarious comedian!

The City of Port Colborne had the pleasure of being entertained by Dan Viola at our Safety Awards Night! Dan was easy to work with, he became familiar with the crowd before the event and was punctual to ensure I had one less thing to worry about that evening. Dan was funny and entertaining! He connected with the crowd during the event and evening, just making the night memorable!

Dan spoke during our Sunday morning worship gathering. He was clean, appropriate, funny and connected well with the congregation. Dan worked with us to prepare material that fit our audience, and objective for a Sunday service. He was a pleasure to work with and I recommend him highly.

Yes, really! I hired Dan for an out of town rehearsal dinner. He knew in advance, even though we were a Christian audience, he had his work cut out for him. Dan was right on time. He gathered as much information as he could - discreetly - about our two families (before and after he arrived) and the soon to be Mr. & Mrs. I will be honest...there was a lot skepticism on my part. His performance carried the weight of either making or breaking the entire event. I was impressed that he knew how to read his audience and change direction accordingly. He spoke clearly and the timing of his delivery was spot-on. Three days after the rehearsal dinner, while we checked out of the hotel, our dinner guests were still commenting on Dan and his outstanding, hilarious performance...and asking for his contact info. Yes, he was REALLY that good!

Dan & Vinnie did a fantastic job entertaining our annual conference attendees. Good, clean comedy that had everyone laughing.
Would recommend them both as they work well with each other.
Just what we were hoping for when we booked them.

Dan was great to work with from the start! He was very flexible with the time frame and making adjustments. Due to budgets and being a non-profit he was able entertain the group for a shorter amount of time and managed to fit in a whole lots of laughs! Dan did his homework and learned a bit about our non-profit and our over 270 members in attendance loved it! Thank you Dan

Dan's content was both amusing and appropriate for our event.

Dan was exceptional and absolutely wonderful to work with. We talked a few weeks before the event to finalize points he should hit and to adapt his hilarious comedy to our organization. He was met with a few technical difficulties by the venue (all out of his control), and he powered through it. At times, he was making so much of an effort, his voice was cracking... a true professional. Afterwards, he blended right in with our group and mingled afterwards to make sure everything went well. He was a pleasure to have at our event, and we will definitely be seeing him again.

Dan did a great job entertaining our guest. He arrived early to get to know our group as well as stayed after the show speaking with some of our guest. The show was very clean and humorous.

Dan was Great thru the whole process.

Last night's show was perfect. He adapted to the crowd age and was very funny.

Recommend highly.

We booked Dan for a professional holiday party this month, and he did not disappoint! Our entire group of 50-60 people (all different age groups) were laughing throughout the night. Dan had a great sense of keeping things rolling and understanding the audience. He was the only comedian for the night so the pressure was on and he nailed it!! He was great to work with during the booking process, did everything he promised and is a great guy besides! I would highly recommend Dan to any group or venue.

Dan was wonderful, he was very professional and put on a great show! He also helped find an opening act Steven Rogers. Both Dan and Steven were very funny! Would highly recommend him as a headliner for any comedy show! Steven is a great Comdian as well.. also would highly recommend him!

Dan did great and had the whole crowd laughing! Would defiantly recommend him for your event!

Dan made our Christmas party a huge success!!! Dan was our entertainment and our company really enjoyed the laughs he provided. We asked him to roast the officers of our company and he was able to do that in a clean way. His comedy is clean and perfect for any business or corporate events. His energy had everyone engaged. I highly recommend!!!

Dan was awesome. He was able to appeal to every age group in the crowd and had us all rolling. His ability to relate his material to our group of Engineers and their spouses was outstanding and he read his audience flawlessly. Dan Viola will definitely be my first choice for another comedy event. We could not have been more pleased.

Dan was very funny. His material was good and appropriate for the audience we had.

Dan was a real joy to have entertain at our family/friends Halloween party. He was well received & praised long after he left. His family-friendly comedy was much appreciated. He was personable & easy to do business with. I'd recommend him highly!

Dan performed at our recent Doctor Donor Party and knocked it out of the park. His content was appropriate and he captivated and engaged the audience. Our theme was SMILE and everyone was smiling the entire time he was performing - even the doctors who are often difficult to make laugh. He is a very bright and gentle man - witty and very energetic.
His delivery was flawless and he was able to weave in many medical terms and situations in his impromptu style. He mingled with guests before and after his performance and I don't think we have ever had more compliments from our guests- they loved him. We would invite him back in a minute.

Dan was a cool and humorous addition to our wedding celebration. Thank you Dan, and Thank you Gigsalad for facilitating that.

Hello, I am the Owner of the Cabaret at Studio B. In our venue I am always looking for diversity to draw a wide variety of guest. Dan was the first comedian to perform at the cabaret.
Although Dan is well established he was a new face to us. I was thrilled to feature him July 23rd in a cameo performance at my show. It was then I realized we had someone special on our stage. In the short 5 minute spotlight he had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand. Prior to entering the stage, he visited with guest in our audience. From here he assessed our audience, learned of our Albion culture and even remembered our names. A great move to know what would relate to the people in front of him. When introduced to the stage he nailed it putting everyone at ease with tasteful but relatable humor.
August 20th he was greeted by a warm audience eager to see what he would do. Well, as I said above, he delivered a solid show filled with material everyone could relate to, delivered in the “Viola” way. A way I would describe as energetic, fast paced and most of all funny. “When is he coming back?” was repeated many times by this receptive audience.
I would highly recommend hiring Dan Viola – he is a sure thing! Thanks Dan!

Dan,
Thanks for performing at our annual banquet. You did a great job adapting to the venue and also did a great job incorporating jokes to our audience.
Everyone thought you were hilarious and you kept it clean which worked we'll with the wide range of ages at our event.
I would be happy to recommend you and feel free to us me as a reference.

From the booking and to the event, Dan was accessible and easy to work with. His performance was timely, clean and engaging. Outside of the performance, Dan was a nice, genuine person, and easy to work with. A blessing!

Dan was great! Not only easy to work with but hilarious. Dan came to an event for a school fundraiser and knocked it out of the park. The audience was age range of 25-75 and he made everyone laugh. He was clean and funny. I would totally recommend him for your entertainment needs.

Dan performed for about 70 people in a private setting for a surprise 70th birthday party. He was clever, engaging, clean and hysterical! The man did his homework and mixed in just enough information about the birthday girl and her family to make the performance very personal. We had a blast and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

My organization hired Dan for a fundraising event. He was very funny and had good clean comedy. I would highly recommend him.

Dan did a party for me and about 30 friends...all dudes...and he delivered.
We were all celebrating my brothers first child, which made for some good laughs when Dan got in front of the crowd. He was personable and sharp with his delivery. The entire room enjoyed his comedic genius. Dan is a likable, easy to work with professional and we look forward to having him deliver an unforgettable performance in the future. He is a must see!

We had an excellent experience with both Gig Salad and Dan Viola. Every aspect of the situation from the initial contact, negotiation, booking, actual event and follow up were great! Dan was very professional and entertained our staff of approximately 150 teachers and staff at our school year ending meeting. His humor was right on target for our audience and he was great to work with!

Dan did a great job designing his show to relate to our employees and our meetings theme, and kept his content appropriate for a corporate event. The employees loved it!

If you haven't seen a performance by Dan, you have missed a wonderful evening.
His routine is timeless, energetic, family oriented and most importantly, HILARIOUS!
Do try to catch Dan at your earliest opportunity...

Dan Viola is an absolute professional. He took the time to ask questions of the venue, who we are and what we do. With the information he learned about our clients and our company, he delivered an outstanding performance. Everyone truly enjoyed his act! We highly recommend Dan Viola to anyone who is looking for a smart, clean energetic comedian. Dan, you are truly the best. Thank you for a memorable evening for not only my company, but for our valuable clients.
