Press & Reviews

Reviews from Fellow Comedians:


"Alicia's standup has this quality ...a divine mischievousness. She's like the Rob Breszny of comedy... charming the hell out of you while poking at your tender spots. You laugh so hard, and then you leave the show realizing you've been tricked into taking yourself less seriously, tricked into loving yourself, tricked into peering into some great truths ... emerging with this strange, sweet, ambrosial freedom. I am honored to be on this twisted path with her.  
-Vanda Mikoloski, Spiritually Incorrect

"We thoroughly enjoyed Eat, Pray, Laugh! It's brilliant, and amazing how you are able to sustain that energy throughout the entire performance. It's well-written, compelling, has a message."
-Swami Beyondananda

"Alicia's vulnerability on stage is beautiful... from the uncensored way she shares her inner critic's honest fears, to the way she plays with her bare belly... she is filled filled with such life... such humanity. Her spirit dances on the stage. The Punchline is one more reason why I love theatre. I'm grateful I discovered her and her show--an unforgettably inspirational night full of huge laughs and most meaningful discoveries."

-Vic Cohen, Comedian & Comedy Writer, The Howie Mandel Show


"Alicia Dattner is more exciting than your run-of-the-mill stand up comedian. She's likable and funny and very inventive on stage, but she doesn't stop there. Aside from being a hilarious comic, she's a successful filmmaker, a circus ringmaster, and a witty (and inspirational) writer, all wrapped up in a bundle of energy."
-Robert Mac, Comedian, Winner of Comedy Central's Laugh Riots

"Alicia's got an endearingly subversive charm about her. Plus not only does she have it going on, she's got so much going on, the movie directing, the book writing, and she brings it all to that microphone. What I love about her stand up comedy is the way she takes you into her world and makes you see what's so hilarious about yours."
-Bill Santiago, Comedian, Comedy Central Presents

"Alicia's stand up comedy has an amazing and rare combination of qualities--her work is at once subtle and intense, sophisticated and earthy, philosophical and relate-able. She's deep AND funny. Her writing is intelligent and her performances are even more so. She manages to navigate the line between delicate and hard core. She is gracefully rough edged. She's like Ellen Degeneres meets Lenny Bruce (before he went crazy.) Only different. And better."

-Katie Rubin, Writer, Comedian, Actor
