Dandy Darkly is an award winning storyteller, satirist and critically acclaimed cabaret artist. He is  ‘‘New York City’s preeminent King of Halloween’’ (Out Magazine) whose work has been described as ‘‘fantastical fairytale horror, equal parts Tennessee Williams, Edgar Allen Poe and Bruce La Bruce’’ (Time Out) and ‘‘a cross between Liberace and Tales from the Crypt’’ (The Scotsman). This ‘‘decidedly wicked storyteller’’ (New York Times) is ‘‘simply one of the most thoughtful, hilarious and harrowing queer talents at work today.’’ (Scotsgay)

Reno is an opinionated, radical feminist alternative voice who creates heavily improvised stream-of-consciousness topical monologues with incredible wit, political consciousness and common sense.  Starting with her first HBO comedy hour, Reno In Rage And Rehab through her HBO feature film, Reno Finds Her Mom, her Bravo series, Citizen Reno, to her live show commissioned by Hartford Stage, The God Show, Reno wrestles with the “way it is” and points to the “way it’s supposed to be.”
