He told me that he wasn't R rated which was good to know for our audience. He wasn't G rated either which kept the jokes lively but not raunchy." Valerie F "John was terrific. Really engaging and hysterical. Couldn’t have been happier." Gary N "We had John entertain a group of 120 technology folks at a Catholic conference.

John’s performance was the highlight of our event. He had everyone laughing without having to swear or make fun of anybody. I’ve had numerous people come back to me wanting to know when we can have John back. John was able to help us have a seamless experience on a tight turn around time. Everything went so smoothly. It was a terrific experience.

Absolutely the best decision I made for our party was hiring John. For 1 hour he had our entire party laughing from start to finish. He was perfect for the crowd who ranged 18 up to 70. You know you have talent when my 71 year old father and my 21 year old son, were both laughing out loud. I can't say enough good things about him. He arrive a few hours early, made sure we were all set and chatted with a few guest after. He was wonderful from the initial call. He asked questions and thought of things I didn't to make the evening go smoothly. He mentioned it was his job to make me look like a genius at the end of the night. So that people said, good idea! They definitely said good idea. Here we are days later and people are still chatting about the show and the fact that I'm a genius! ;-) Thanks so much John. Our family is truly grateful and thrilled with everything from start to finish.

John provided a great show to our attendees at a small fundraiser for our nonprofit. He was responsive from beginning to end, very easy to work with, and professional in all matters (without being stuffy). He brought another great comedian with him as an opener and really connected with our crowd with comedy that wasn't over the top or X-rated. I highly recommend John for your next event.
