Dan & Becky Gaffney: A Love Letter to Delaware

The Gaffneys are one of Delaware’s most dynamic duos, balancing decades careers with the joys and beautiful chaos of raising a large family. They are married with eight children.

By day, Dan Gaffney is Delaware’s most recognizable voice in morning radio—the no-filter host of the long-running Delaware 105.9 FM morning show, where he’s been waking up the First State with news, controversy, and unapologetic opinion for over two decades.

By night, however, Gaffney trades the microphone for the stage as one of the mid-Atlantic’s most baffling mentalists. Combining rapid-fire psychological mind reading, audience interaction, and a dash of that same radio bravado, his live show leaves crowds laughing, gasping, and questioning what they thought was possible.

Dan is also an accomplished stage actor, with credits including Brigadoon, Miracle on 34th Street, Moliere’s Imaginary Invalid, and Bye Bye Birdie.

Becky Gaffney: Designer, Performer, and Voice on the Air, and recognizable face at Dickens as our Managing Director.

Becky Gaffney, a Delaware native, is a versatile artist whose career has spanned theatre on stage as well as behind the scenes. For decades, she was deeply involved in local theatre, leaving an enduring mark on the regional arts scene.

Since 2005, her creative expertise has extended to costuming for ballet companies and producing custom costumes for artists all over the country, ensuring productions maintain their visual elegance. Becky also shares her insights as a featured voice on the nationally syndicated Walter Sterling Show.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Becky’s greatest role is “Just Being Mom” to their eight children, each carving their own unique path in the arts and community—including a stand-up comic, a professional ballerina , and a musician composing and recording original works and the rest of the crew just discovering the paths they may take on their way into adulthood.

Join Dan & Becky for Love Letters

Dates: February 13th and 14th

What real audiences are saying about a Dan Gaffney “Mind Mysteries” show:

“Mind boggling and a great evening!”, “Fantastic”, “Awesome, a fantastic evening”, “Dan is an amazing mentalist, don’t miss this show”, “How did he do that?”  

Dan is a lifelong performer and host of his own award winning radio show recently voted “Best Radio Personality” by the readers of Delaware Today Magazine. He has amazed crowds while hanging from a crane above a city square duplicating Houdini’s famous straight jacket escape. He has been “frozen alive” in a 5000-pound block of ice for 48 hours. He has also been buried alive, and entombed in concrete. He recently performed as an opening act for “Mr. Las Vegas”, Wayne Newton. He has also maintained a close-up residency inside Bally’s Hotel and Casino in Dover, Delaware. His live “Mind Mysteries” shows attempt feats that cannot be rehearsed or practiced in advance…because…he doesn’t have YOUR mind in front of him…yet! Be a part of the fun and interaction as Dan reveals audience thoughts, cell phone numbers, pin numbers and engages in experiments of influence, lie detecting and mysterious mind maneuvers.
