👍 Positive Comments / Praises

• From a spring 2025 show: “The pacing of Cook’s set was impeccable; he seamlessly transitioned from high-energy physical bits to quieter moments of introspection without losing the audience.”
• From a fan review of a Boston show: “I laughed so hard that I cried … he was bouncing back and forth from one side of the stage to the other, physical nuance is everything in comedy!”
  “He had a lot of new great relatable material with hints of his old stuff mixed in … It was an amazing show … glad he is playing smaller venues …”
• On Vicious Circle (his 2006 special): “Dane has a great stage presence. High energy with solid jokes.”
• Reflecting on his earlier album Harmful If Swallowed: “High energy and reflective of the culture at the time; loud and ‘wacky’.”
  “the single funniest thing I had ever heard … everyone I knew either had the CD or was lending it out”

👎 Critiques / Nuanced / Mixed Views

• From a review of Troublemaker (2014 special): “The excitement and energy still may be paramount … he’s still more than willing to play the troublemaker … though fame may have subsided somewhat.”
  “Everyone’s a little racist when you’re hungry. … Women hate the word ‘moist.’” (examples of bits that some find funny, others find cliché or predictable)
• From fan commentary: “His old stuff is still pretty funny but I realize now just how LONG he drags jokes out … He repeats stuff a lot and I think it works in his favor to drive jokes home.”
• On Vicious Circle, some say the special holds up but note that some material feels dated or that the hype around him has cooled.
