About
How it all started
Once upon a time I was a college professor. I was pretty funny. Three times a week for nearly a decade I performed in front of 450 college kids. My classes were mobbed and standing room only. Not sure the students learned much of anything, but my evaluations invariably suggested I might be better suited for stand up. Sooo...35 years and at least 4 career changes later here I am collecting Social Security and laughs whenever I can.

who's saying what about the good doctor?
Real-life hysteria! This guy touches every funny bone on your body; he's Lenny Bruce, Chris Rock and Johnny Carson all in one. Dr. Don will keep you in stitches, literally!

What a night! Wowza!! It's amazing that you were able to raise $1,000 for the pets at Lollypop Farm. Thank you so much for pulling together this benefit and for all that you do. I laughed the entire night. You were very funny. Loved the dog poop jokes.

Dr. Don...where have you been? Sharp, relevant, on point, AND funny! A shame you can't lick this guy off the back of stamp for daily trippin' down laughter lane.

Dr. Don’s show was one of the better routines I’ve seen in a long time. His bits on marriage, working from home, and growing up in a Catholic school were just a little bit too familiar to me. He says the things we’re all thinking but finds a way to make it funny. I can't wait till he makes a stop at Castleton!

It all hits home. I thought he was talking about me! There is nothing funnier than life sliding off the rails and recounted by someone who's slid off with it...more than once. You'll love him.

Once again, proof that life lived anywhere, in any form, at any time is flat out funny through the eye of a keen observer. Dr. Don delivers. It's as simple as that.

Not hard to see why Dr. Don was an award winning university professor. His fractured take on life will be recognized by anyone who has lived it for a while, and worth hearing for anyone who's about to. Wisdom and perspective with a razor sharp edge, all wrapped in a very funny package.

No string of one-liners here. These are stories that grab you at the opening and take you on little life journeys. Along the way, the view brings familiar smiles as the anticipation builds...then you arrive at an insightful and very funny place.

Dr. Don is a catholic boy from Rochester, NY. Raised in the 50's, dazed in the 60's, and confused for pretty much the remainer of the 20th century, he's a former University of Delaware Communications Professor and Excellence in Teaching Award winner for his unique combination of content and comedy in the classroom. Educator, writer, producer and performer, business owner, and entreprenuer, he's worked all over the globe, on six continents, in 18 countries, and an impressive collection of fine island paradises. He has starred in three fun but forgettable feature films shown in 32 countries around the world and on every major film channel in the US. An old soul new to stand up, he brings his wit and charm to life in the long lane.

rigorously random remarks
tour
Join Dr. Don on his rigorously random remarks tour. His take on life, living, and the pursuit of marginal happiness will have you nodding your head in recognition until your neck hurts and laughing until your sides ache. His observations and reflections on the past, present and what it all means for the future are insights that only an old guy like this can deliver.
Nothing is off limits from growing up catholic to the wages of sin; to the secrets of a long and successful marriage; to modern parenting or lack thereof; to bad health and worse manners; to pets and poop (animal and human); to a practical solution to inappropriate sexual behavior; to aging and dying and why we should fast-track the trip...along with a host of other rigorously random remarks. Sometimes dark, occasionally blue, consistently irreverent and always funny.
