- Dwayne was amazing! Extremely professional, delivered exactly the show we had in mind, only funnier!! -- Kerri R, Swanton, OH, 1/21/2012
- Dwayne brought laughter and fun to our function in a professional way. His performance was of high quality and extremely entertaining. Dwayne had a unique ability to bring real life situations and connect with the audience in the way of humor. As the coordinator of the event, I had many attendees come up to me after the show with nothing but compliments on the entertainer we had hired. I would highly recommend Dwayne to a family member, friend, or co-worker. -- Michelle M, Akron, OH, 12/9/2011
- Nice change from our typical speaker. It's not the most rowdy of groups but he worked the crowd well and had even the most reserved laughing. Great job. -- Unique D, Angola, IN, 9/14/2011
- Dwayne was everything that we had hoped he would be!
He catered the show to our needs and had everyone rolling on the floor. Ours was a charity event and Dwayne came through for us like a true professional. Everyone loved the show and enjoyed Dwaynes company after the show. My advice is to book him now! Very soon you will have to compete with the likes of David Letterman and Conan O'brien for Mr. Gills services! -- Anthony T, Sandusky, OH, 8/4/2009
- I was very impressed with Dwayne's professionalism leading up to the event as well as the night of. He is very funny and so personable. He mixes just the right amount of his personality and life experience, with off the wall funny stuff. Dwayne personalized the program to pertain to events that we were all familiar with. He really made us all feel like we were just having a group conversation and it was really fun and funny. We ended up with a smaller crowd than originally anticipated and he handled it "like a trooper"....
I would definitely recommend him if you want to have a good time.
I am sure he will be around making people laugh for a long time. -- Monique D, Grand Rapids, MI, 7/13/2009
- From the time I first found Dwayne on Gigmaster all the way through his performance, it was an easy process. Gigmasters streamlined the process. Dwayne was always quick to follow up after arrangements were made. When it came time for the performance, Dwayne was early to the site, checked in and did a quick "background interview" to help out with his show. Once he took the stage the crowd was belly laughing the whole time. Dwayne was a good find. -- Tom C, San Antonio, TX, 11/10/2010
- I realize all the ratings are high but I received nothing but great comments about Mr. Gill's performance at our conference. We had never provided a live performance for an evening event, but will definitely do it again based upon the great time that we all had laughing at the comedy of Mr. Gill. -- Kim O, Tustin, MI, 9/30/2010
- Overall great show. Dwayne was very funny and approipate for our show and the audience loved him. I recommend this funny cop to anyone who wants a funny man. Love to have him next year. Thanks Dwayne! -- Nolan P, Findlay, OH, 3/20/2010
- Dwayne is naturally comfortable on a mic and in front of a crowd. He works well with everyone around him and has a real knack for understanding his audience. We will definitely be working with him again. -- Lindsay H, Detroit, MI, 5/2/2009
