Dry Bar Comedy Spotlight: Dan Viola's "AOK with the CDC"

Dan Viola has seven kids—which means he knows a thing or two about chaos, compromise, and finding humor in the everyday. In AOK with the CDC, he dives into the realities of parenting, teaching, and technology with quick wit and sharp observations.

From older parents who turn every story into a winding tangent to kids glued to their phones like it’s a survival tool, Dan captures the quirks of modern family life with ease. As a high school science teacher, he’s convinced students would benefit more from real-world courses—like learning how to creatively reuse acronyms.

And then there’s the food. Dan pokes fun at how we can’t resist sharing our meals online (and how we dutifully like everyone else’s). Add in riffs on song-inspired baby names and the fact that his wife holds a PhD in Wi-Fi expertise, and you’ve got a set that’s equal parts clever and relatable.

Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or just someone trying to keep up with too many apps, Dan Viola’s comedy proves that laughter is the best lesson of all.
