Dave Maher Coma Show

Last year Dave was in a diabetic coma for a month, currently at the Annoyance he's performing Dave Maher Coma Show a comedic exploration of that experience and its aftermath. Dave has a singular and compelling voice: funny, insightful, at times righteously indignant, and ultimately inspiring. It's entertaining and affirming to spend an hour with him as he recounts his incredible, miraculous return from the brink.

Dave alternates effortlessly between comedy and drama, taking the audience through the painful and terrifying realities of coming out of a coma while never loosing an inherent therapeutic humor, never falling into despair, always focusing on the bewildering and wonderful fact of his recovery. The show is funny, yes, no question, but more than that it is uplifting, illuminates how precious and precarious life can be. Instills hope that perhaps everything will be OK.

Dave has gotten some great and well-deserved press about the show in the Tribune, The Reader, and Gapersblock. You can follow him a Twitter here. One more show Friday the 18th.
