REVIEWS
​”She shares her story of weight loss with riotously funny delivery. With her cherubic face and energetic sweetness, she is a natural comedic performer, and the comedy world knows it. Scared Skinny is a tale of personal triumph that anyone can relate to, and be entertained by.”
​ – The Wall Street Journal

“A born raconteur, Dimino is extremely funny as she spins her yarns. Perhaps the reason Dimino is so popular on TV and stage is that she doesn’t try to impress you with her brilliance. She invites your interest and approval. Beyond that, she has 2 qualities that are essential for a solo performer, exuberance and heart.”
– Curtain Up

“Her performance is utterly captivating and serves as excellent motivation to others struggling with their weight. Dimino is a great performer and her delivery works perfectly for her well-written, funny script. It is honest and moving, equally entertaining as it is motivational. Dimino captures this struggle with humor and intensity like I’ve never seen before. Definitely catch this one.” – nytheatre.com

​”Dimino creates an atmosphere of goodwill and cheer. Scared Skinny is a winsome show that wins the audience, who root for her through and through.”
– Show Business Weekly

​”An evening so indisputably magical. Yes, it’s just THAT fantastic.”
– Nite Life Exchange

​”A hard life can destroy you or make you uncommonly strong. The later is clearly the case for Mary Dimino, an exceptionally down-to-earth and razor sharp comic, who relates the mental process she went through to come out on top. Scared Skinny is filled with smart observations and tender moments, and hundreds of laughs. Through it shines Dimino’s humanity-and her beautiful, undefeatable spirit.”
