Just wanted to Thank you for a great time Sat night. My husband and our friends were crying from laughter. My checks hurt from grinning and laughing so much!
I have to say the best part about your act is your demeanor. You just seem like you’re having as much fun as your audience. It seems more like your sharing your fun instead of putting on an act….that’s such a special gift because even some of the most successful comedians lack that quality.
Years ago I saw you at a small bar in Torrington called The Eastside Cafe. I remember you started the show by putting a cigarette out on your tongue. And I loved a bit you did at the end where you instructed an audience member to move your arms and legs… Do you still do that sometimes?
It was a fabulous show and such a refreshing way for a mother of 2 to finally get the Hell out of the house! I should have stopped by to thank you in person. Next time I’ll be sure to bring more friends and family. I wish you all the happiness and continued success you deserve and look forward to the big news!!

You are the BEST!!! I was at the Elks on Saturday 10/11/08, in Middlesex. I took my Mom and Uncle – you were fantastic, in fact, beyond fantastic! I have never ever laughed so hard – yes, my Mom said her neck was hurting from laughing so much and my Uncle had a stomach ache from laughing so much. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! You were unbelievable, the pharmacist, the pill counter, grandma in the back and we cannot forget Dave “our Dave, our gay Dave” this was all so perfect. We were still talking about it and laughing about it today at work – you are precious and so very gifted. You are absolutely the BEST comedian I have ever seen. Thank you so much for one of the best evenings I’ve had in a very long time.

We have had the pleasure of enjoying your show recently at the Southington Elks lodge. I don’t think there is anyone better than you.
There wasn’t a time or moment when the people in the audience were not laughing. Our lodge members and their guests were absolutely in awe of the funny lines and actions you do so well. They were all saying how there jaws and sides ached from so much laughter. There was even one person that said it made her laugh just to look at you on your poster, before she even met you. You actually made a few of us a little nervous in the very beginning of your cigarette/fire act. But they LOVED it! They also loved the part about you knowing of the apple harvest and apple fritters.We really appreciated that you continued your show an hour longer than contracted, it was Great! It showed that even you were having a great time with us! I thought it was awesome that so many were buying your T-shirts. Personally, I had to have two of your shirts.
This show was our second time for my husband Jeff and I, and we want to see your show anytime you are in the area. We are ready in a heartbeat to have you back at our lodge for another night of awesome entertainment. Thank you for all your fun. Jeff and some others are constantly saying “shshshsh……………Listen…………..”I didn’t know”!!
Dave, your a funny guy! and you truly are one of a kind so we just love you!!! We wish you all the best for 2009!

Thank you for an awesome show last night. Wow! over 2 and half hours of kick butt laughs and wit. You were spot on with follow ups to comments thrown out by the crowd and how you weaved them into the duration of the evening’s comedy show made me and my friends feel as though we listening in on a real conversation!
Cheers to you!

We saw you for the second time at the Infinity Hall. First time was Waterbury Palace Theater. My wife could not stop laughing. This time we took our kids, it was great to watch them laugh out of control. Cape of Cod, bathroom etiquette awesome. Great how you got SIDETRAKED all night with “CHEZWCK” the lesbians and “*** girl”. She almost came thru after the show. I gotta get a bigger group and get to another Dave Reilly comedy show. Also it was heartwarming to watch you open up to us about your pre-show accident.

You performed at the Baby Zachary fundraiser to benefit our son this past weekend. After all, how could you ever forget the greatness of a show in lovely “Inselin”, NJ (just a small step up from The Venetian).

My wife and I just wanted to thank you for giving us exactly what we needed…a night of pure joy and laughter. Our son was born with a rare cancer in January and has been fighting for his life ever since. Laughter has been tough to come by lately.
When our friends said they wanted to organize a fundraiser for Zachary we only had one request…please make it fun. We didn’t want everyone to get together just to mourn and talk about hospitals and disease. They clearly got it right the moment they contacted you.
Your show was hysterical. The smiles and laughter were nonstop. Everyone I spoke to said the same (well, except maybe my grandparents).
Thank you again for a much needed night of fun and enjoyment with our family and friends.
Dave my wife and I truly enjoyed your show. We thought you were great. That was our first comedy show and we hope you will come back again. I am sure after last night’s turn out you won’t be disappointed next time either.
thanks again our sides still hurt from laughing so much.

Awesome show last night in the booming town of Clayton. Glad we went and we had a great time. Going overtime was a surprise also! You may want to see about going to Fort Drum NY. It is a military post with a Division Plus of Soldiers who would love the show. Who knows, maybe they would take you on a trip to a sandy and hot place……

Thanks for coming to Clayton.. As you can see, it is a pretty isolated area. It is unique in the fact that we go from a population of 1500 people in the fall/winter to 25 -30,000 people in the summer months. You started talking about Jebediah and the horse & buggy and the GPS not telling you anything else – yeah – my husband and I moved here 8 years ago and know the culture shock. The locales refer to the summer people as “cash cows” and I have heard the locales referred to as “huckleberries” by some of the summer people. Most are quite respectful though.

Anyway, my husband & I live in Alexandria Bay, 7 miles down river and we do have a couple of very nice hotels that bring comedy shows to the area. The Riveredge is one but if you were to do a benefit of some nature for a larger crowd, The Edgewood Resort is a good venue. Also, Kingston, Ontario is 30 minutes across the border from Clayton.
Keep up the good work. The 4 extra people that I told about the show are going to hear about what a terrific time they missed.
Your show at Clayton last night was awesome-or should I call this place a) the place where your GPS died b) the place where there is no Italian food cause they ran out of sauce c) Claytonville d) the place that hasn’t caught up to the rest of the world.

My husband and I were amazed at how long the show lasted. We had been to other shows but in no way did they last as long as yours. The other thing we liked as well was we could put the world behind us for a few hours-no war (my husband is a retired soldier and we have lost many friends in the past few years), no economy issues and no Obama (we have seen enough of him!). You talked about real life which made your show so great.
Also, love the shirt and got one at the end of the show. Wearing it this morning-hopefully my 19 year old stepson won’t think it is too true. Would love to wear it at the school I teach at ….however don’t think they would find the humor in it. Oh well.
Take care and come back soon. The husband says you should consider doing a show for our returning soldiers (they are coming back in small groups in the coming weeks). They and their families could use a laugh after this tour.
