Joey Dardano: Another Direction

Joey Dardano • Professional company

60 minutes•Bluebell
Joey Dardano has always had dreams, goals, diarrhea and aspirations of the great white way and silver screen. He's spent every day of his life honing specific, intangible skills such as charisma, jokes and yelling at the selfie camera and pressing 'upload', hoping to go viral. That being said, the guy's 30 and has little to show for it. That's a recipe for, well, how-you-say, not-eh-feeling-eh-so-good. After dealing with endless rejection and opportunities slipping through his fingers, it's one opportunity that he's 100% PERFECT FOR brushing him off that leads to a downward spiral of desperation.
