"...O'Callaghan is a charmer - think Denis Leary's puckish younger brother - and his infectious comedy helps distract from the bumpy storytelling. The show can feel scattershot, and O'Callaghan and director Tom Ormeny might take another pass to give the piece more dramatic shape. But this writer-performer's irreverent insights keep the evening sharp: "Some people wonder if me raising [Odin] might make him gay. Why aren't they concerned I might make him Irish?""

"..."Daddy" plays like a taut, well-written personal essay, with seamless transitions between countries, people, and subjects, droll observations, and quite funny asides. Only in the final few minutes, when O'Callaghan adds detail after detail of his effort to get his then three-year-old son out of Africa, does the narrative display any signs of fatigue."
