• John is funny and had everyone's attention for the first 30 minutes then after that people in the bar area started talking and it was distracting for John to complete his show and for those in the audience trying to pay attention to him. In retrospect we as a company should have closed the bar for his show and reopened it when he finished. Free bar for 3 hours the last hour during John's show I believe was a mistake on our part. If you read this John I apologize for that. So for those of you planning a party you might want to take this as good advice and close your bar during the show and reopen it when completed. Those who paid attention enjoyed it very much! -- Patti S, Newport, KY, 12/3/2010
• John was fantastic! We booked him for our annual Senior Day celebration. He was here early, knew exactly what to say, and had the audience engaged the entire time! I would highly recommend him for any event. -- Blair E, Dover, OH, 5/24/2011
• John did an awesome job. He entertained a small corporate group and had us laughing the entire time. He even incorporated some employee nicknames into his routine, had audience participation and just good clean comedy. I would definetly recommend John and would consider booking him again. -- Melissa E, Pittsburgh, PA, 9/21/2010
