• When hunting through various comedians for a staff party, Angela's online recommendations stood out. So, I waited for her bid, although many comedians responded within an hour after posting. She was worth the wait. From the initial phone conversation, it was clear that she was all about MY corporation and MY wishes. The other bids were about THEIR skills & accolades. A fill-in-the-blank sheet w/ questions about staff, one long email, a brief phone call to double check facts & we were done!. Angela's performance was flawless; everyone was in stitches. Stayed for photos, brought gag gifts, was very well versed in my staff's quirks, which she cleverly "attacked". -- Deborah Z, Glenview, IL, 1/22/2012
• It was non-stop laughter from the time Angela began mingling, took the stage, and then concluded by leaving us some hilarious parting gifts. I was impressed that she was such a quick-study of the information I gave her about my company and co-workers even though she received some of the details at the last minute. She's not shy AT ALL, very spontaneous, and she's naturally a "people person." Everyone was a fan even employees who went up on stage to be "roasted." They headed to the stage even before she got their full name out. This was my first time hiring a comic and I could not have selected a better or a more original talent than Angela Riccio. 4 STARS -- Mary G, Oak Brook, IL, 1/29/2011
• From the moment I made initial contact with Angela I felt very comfortable with hiring over the internet. Her personality is bubbly and sincere so I felt confident in my decision. Her performance absolutely made the party. Everyone was laughing and very hard. Afterwards I had more people asking me where I found her, and saying how much they enjoyed the show. I did not have one negative comment. So for anyone looking to take the ho-hum out of a party or celebration I highly recommed Angela Riccio. -- Debbie Q, Steger, IL, 10/4/2009
• Angela was very entertaining. She worked the crowd wonderfully and related perfectly with the folks that work at our company. I think whe would do well at ANY event as we have a diverse crowd. One of the guests who is a professional from Indianapolis said she intends to contact Angela about working their HS reunion! Great work, just spicy enough without going over the line. I think she has a good read on the crowd and could ratchet up or down the "spiciness". -- Julia B, Logansport, IN, 1/22/2011
• Ms.Angela Riccio was very professional in every way. First of all, she made every effort to personalize the show (bridal shower), so the event was a sort of roast of the bride and groom. She asked me to forward any amusing information about the couple, and she used this information as hysterical material for her performance. The guests are still talking about the hilarious comedienne and are saying this was the most fun shower they've ever attended. I would highly recommend Ms. Riccio to anybody! Her terrific entertainment made the shower a memorable event for the special couple. -- Camille J, Schererville, IN, 4/26/2009
• Angela did a terrific job of entertaining the employees at our corporate party. After her performance, they were all talking and laughing about things she said and did during her performance, and they were still talking about it when I walked into the office Monday morning. They were telling those employees that couldn't attend the party that they missed a great time, particularly because of Angela. The owner of our company was not only happy about the fact that the employees enjoyed themselves, but he was very pleased that such a comedic talent performed at our party. -- Mary S, Cedar Lake, IN, 9/24/2011
• Everyone at the party loved Angela Riccio. Many asked how I found her. I said at Gigmasters online. I choose her out of all the ones that I looked at because I liked her mini video clips the best. Anyone one can put together a good resumeon paper, however, seeing someone put their skills to work is the true test. Angela Riccio was Wonderful! She's got lots of talent! Angela made my Father's Surprise 60th Birthday Party everything I could imagine for me and my entire family. Thanks so much Angela!!!! Tanks for the great memories! -- Katie L, Orland Park, IL, 10/1/2011
