Daniel’s broad appeal gets people involved in a much talked about shared experience that creates focus and community.

"Daniel's show was amazing. The audience was captivated with suspense and laughed-as-one at the comic moments. Daniel won the hearts of our hard-working college students and gave them a precious evening of uninhibited belly laughs. We all cheered at the completion of his seemingly impossible tasks. Thanks for the unique and wonderful show, for being such a gracious performer, and for bringing such joy to our audience. It was a rare night of comic magic."
John Laprade, Diretor of Student Programs, Mount Holyoke College

“Daniel had the packed house of the 800 seat Academy of Music Theatre in the palm of his hand. Never before had I seen the audience in such rapture with both the artistic capability and knee slapping humor that is rolled together in a Daniel Forlano performance. His timing is impeccable and I can’t wait to present him again.”
Bob Cilman, Northampton Arts Council

“His reputation for delivering an amazingly good time has resulted in some of our largest crowds. To anyone desiring a memorable, high-energy, hysterically funny show, I say with absolutely no reservations, “Book Daniel!”
Dave King, Lake George RV Park

“Daniel received the rare tribute of sustained, thunderous applause and laughter from a mixed audience of students and faculty.”
Ellen Donkin, Hampshire College Theatre Department

"One of the most enjoyable performance artists for young and old in New England."

“During intermission, Ward 5 City Councilor Alex Ghiselin said his favorite act was "Stitch," in which stuntman Daniel Forlano, a Hampshire College graduate, juggled 17 cardboard blocks in a gravity-defying comedy act.”
Cheryl B. Wilson, Daily Hampshire Gazette

“With sly, winsome charm and humor, he draws the audience into a moving performance of detail and nuance. They loved him.”
Wendy Woodson, Amherst College Theatre and Dance Department

“Daniel displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, flexibility and humor. He is a talented juggler and actor. In addition to his excellent performance skills, he proved his unique ability to connect with both children and adults during his engaging performances. It is a testament to his talent that I thoroughly enjoyed every performance. Daniel Forlano would be an asset to any organization, and I am happy to give him my wholehearted endorsement.”
Tracy Fiscella, MS, RD, Nutrition Specialist

"Daniel has the uncanny ability to read his audience and push silence until people are laughing in anticipation of his next move. Seasoned professionals are in awe of this ability. The Waterloo Busker Carnival has a firm policy of not bringing an artist back two years in a row, the committee running this festival would be willing to break this policy to have Stitch return. We all highly recommend him.”
Cheryl Ewing, Waterloo Busker Carnival

“With powerful presence and a host of skills, he makes a comic connection as surely as he catches a hat on his head.”
Peter Lobdell, Amherst College Theatre & Dance Department

“Stitch’s understated approach to street performance belies his true comedic genius and well crafted show and it just goes to demonstrate that you do not need a 12 foot pole and a fake Australian accent to win the hearts and wallets of young and old alike.”
Ken Brandes, Windsor International Busker Festival

“Exceptional – a critical part of our goal to provide quality entertainment in every corner.”
Jay Hutchens, Busch Gardens Theme Parks

"An instant hit! I will hire him whenever he is available. He’s good, he’s funny, he’s prepared and just a delight to work with. He can perform almost anywhere and play to the crowd, young, old and in between...they love him. In the past three years he has expanded his routine and added great extras. He is on the top of my performer list. Anyone who hires him will be thrilled with the response."
Christina Morrison, Ithaca Downtown Partnership
