Dan Kamin

This past weekend, I went to Dan Kamin’s show at the Waterman Theater with my boyfriend Ray, and I was surprisingly pleased. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did, but then again, I didn’t really know what it was that I was getting myself into, which is probably why it was that I wasn’t expecting to have so much fun.

Basically, what Dan Kamin’s show involved was primarily mime work, and he was hilarious. The show ran for approximately ninety minutes, and I was never bored, not for a minute. He was incredibly entertaining, and he told quite a few jokes, too. He was very communicative and interactive with the audience, and we were a part of the show. Perhaps, my favorite segment of the show was his parody of the Creation of the world according to the Bible, which managed to be hilarious but not offensive toward people who may have been Christians.

What’s really neat is that Ray and I then had the opportunity to meet Dan in person. On our way out of Sheldon later that night, he was walking in, and I had the chance to personally tell him that the show was awesome and that I enjoyed it, and that really made him happy. The show was definitely worth the $7.00, and it would be awesome if he came back for another show.

About the Author

Hey, I'm Chris. I love to laugh, and I usually hate being alone unless I'm occupied with homework or something like that. I was born in New Hartford and then lived in Durhamville, but most of my life was spent in Rome, a "small" town with relatively nothing interesting or special to do. I am an English major and therefore, probably not surprisingly, vehemently enjoy reading and writing (assuming it's something I want to read or write, of course). I also love music and am hoping to commence piano lessons very soon.

  1. “Creation of the world according to the Bible” is not just a Christian thing. Should you know that the Old Testament is what Judaism calls the Torah??? Same words, same creation story.

  2. I apologize; I did not mean to offend anyone, and I’m sure that that came off as very ignorant, which ultimately, it was; I honestly don’t know that much about Judaism. I struggled with trying to find a word that matched what I was going for, and that is all that came to mind. Please, forgive me.
