Mr. Carbone is not of this world. I refuse to believe someone with his intellegence,
humor and depth could have been born of a human woman egg and human man
sperm. More likely he was hatched on some planet not in this solar system
and fell to earth David Bowie style. I hope he never goes home.
He creates a world that is so realistic, that when I thought about it
later, I was surprised to remember that he only had two props and no costumes.
He descriptions were so rich and vivid that I actually thought I saw them.
I might be crazy, but he's a crazy genuis.
This performance pulled me in like a spider to zoom (It's ant talk).

All I can say is a Dan Carbone production is always highly entertaining
and well worth the time to see. Can't wait for a longer production or anything

I hope that Dan Carbone gets the Best of Fringe award for 2006. His performance
was mesmerizing; with a sideways glance or a flick of an eyelash we were
transported to another dimension by song and gesture.

Holy moly. I'd never seen one of his performances before - he is amazing
and absurd. I'm still not even sure what to think about the play, I definately
didn't get all of it (and I usually 'get' it) and I still really enjoyed
myself. Parts I drifted off on were other peoples favorite parts, and even
without perfection I would tell anyone to go see this show!!

Mr. Carbone transforms with tremendous success. He loses himself and his
audience happily takes the journey. His surrealism is most frighteningly
real.

Dan Carbone is definitely a talented actor,
and his tale is very dark, moody, and southern gothic.
However, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was about.
It's kind of fascinating listening to 60 minutes of crazed ramblings, but
it would have been nice to have somewhere in the piece to "latch on
to".

This is a phenomenal piece of work. Beautifully written, lapsing into all
manner of literary forms it moves, and exquisitely performed. Hysterically
funny and stonily sober as it moves from place to place in a biblical story
gone awry. A multi-level and not so remote experience.

With "The Kingdom of Not", Dan Carbone has created his own
special universe that is as memorable as it is unique. This hilarious and
moving solo show - which for me was about desire and what happens when you
get what you think you want, whether it's a baby or some sugar - is bursting
with deftly drawn characters and poetry that is rich and surreal. Very strong
direction, script, and acting. The audience on the night I attended loved
it, and I did too.

The Kingdom of Not is superbly written and beautifully acted. Mr. Carbone
is a treasure who needs neither a supporting cast nor scenery. Just let
him on stage, and turn on the lights.
