John has been wonderful to work with. For my wife's 40th birthday, he travelled 200+ miles, worked with venue issues, arrived much earlier than expected, and remained engaged throughout the entire celebration. His material was original, personable, yet not offensive. Our guests Really Enjoyed it thoroughly.

We held a nursing conference that was heavy in the content, and John lighten the mood. We laughed so hard even my dean of nursing was laughing. It was a great event thank you.

It was our first time hiring a comedian for our company party, and it couldn't have been better. John was arrived early and put on a wonderful show. Our entire staff really enjoyed the addition to our annual party.

John was great to work with. He was clear on what we could expect from his performance. He gave me detailed information promptly whenever I needed it. We booked him to perform for our foster parent appreciation dinner because our folks could use a good laugh to lighten their load. His performance was great. Laughs were consistent. 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.

I hosted a surprise birthday party in my home. I really wanted our guests to enjoy themselves and laugh a bit. John was good! He was responsive to my message on Thumbtack, followed up and did what he said he would do. He showed up to the party with a solid set. The crowd loved it! Lots of laughter. It was a great show. He worked well with the audience and the mood. Highly recommend.

I have never had to hire an Entertainer for all the parties I have thrown. I hired John for a low key Bachelorette Party. He did not disappoint!! Very personable for our small group! It was important to him that our group had a good time. Not only is John a top notch entertainer that I would hire again, but I can now call him friend.
