Johnny Heller embodies Tommy Dash, an aging, self-absorbed stand-up comedian who is confronting a lifetime of regrettable behavior, including substance abuse. Heller's snappy, down-to-earth performance elevates Scheft's brusque and humorous dialogue. On the surface, Tommy Dash is an unlikable character, but Heller's spot-on narration illuminates Dash's hidden humanity. Listeners quickly find themselves rooting for him as he sets out to make amends and become a sober, trustworthy, caring human being. Heller's portrayal of this crass, clueless, oddly endearing character inspires equal measures of empathy and exasperation as Dash struggles to rebuild relationships and reignite his waning career. Scheft's writing is raw and hilarious. Tommy Dash's recognizable celebrity traits immerse listeners in the entertainment industry through Heller's candid storytelling.
