Vik was a pleasure to work with. He helped make my husbands birthday a GREAT one! He was quick to respond, worked with my requests and had the whole audience entertained. From my 3 little kids to an audience of about 30 people of all ages. He had the crowd engaged and rolling! He even brought some fellow comedians. To add to the show. He also ended off the act with an amazing roast of my husband. I look forward to use him in future parties!

Vik was the roastmaster for my wife’s 40th birthday party. He was such a pleasure to work with and helped me plan the format for the event from the floorplan, event timing, and gave me pointers for writing my own jokes. Vik’s jokes were hilarious and was the perfect emcee throughout the night. Our friends and family are going to remember this event forever and Vik was such a big part of it. Thank you!!
