TICKETS: $10 Meet Dan: His parents talk to stuffed animals. He lost an armwrestling match against a drag queen. And everyone in Wal-Mart knows he has scabies. Nicknamed “Li’l Sedaris” by the Berkshire Valley Advocate, this 21-year-old left Cincinnati’s CityBeat saying, “See him now. You’ll be hearing from him later." |

Tim Miller called the play “Really funny and wise and sassy and soulful.”
