About the show
Mary Dimino, the winner of the 2010 MAC Award for Outstanding Female Comedian, stars in this autobiographical one woman show that uses humor to discover the heart in a loving family. More…
Growing up in Queens, Mary Dimino idolized her dad, a factory worker, but also realized that she was different from him. In 'Big Dummy: Me & My Old Man,' Dimino recalls her father's simple philosophy on life, which she later interpreted to be a cross between Forrest Gump and Aristotle. The comedian also explores her own desire to go to college and avoid the stereotypical careers of the time.
