Testimonials
Amazing!!!!!!!!! Our group is faith based so we wanted clean, but we never expected someone to be sooooooooooooo funny!! Patrick is so quiet when you meet him and when he gets on the stage he is not only a phenomenal comedian, he was a excellant MC. We still cannot believe our good fortune in finding funny, clean, creative, and affordable. We thank you Patrick for a evening to remember!!! Giving Hope to the Homeless!!! -Gail Monestere, American Family Housing 25th Anniversary, Meadowlark Country Club, Huntington Beach, CA
We've heard nothing but great things about your presentation yesterday. The South Orange County Community College District holds a staff development day for the classified employees of our 3 campuses every year. It's a challenge to put something together that all the employees like. In the past our guest speakers have usually focused on some team building aspect or self improvement type of presentation. Usually not very inspiring. When I was tasked to find a speaker I wanted to make sure that I would not get complaints. Everyone enjoyed your comedy presentation – it was funny, relaxing, uplifting and just a time of real enjoyment. You set the tone for the rest of the day. Everyone went home asking for the same thing next year! Thank you again and I wish you the best. Hedy Renfro –

The show was fabulous! The jokes, stories, interaction with the group, you really made it about us! We had sooo many compliments and people coming to tell us how they enjoyed your performance, and how nice it was to have comedy from a comedian that didn't have foul language thru the show. Needless to say you were great! I wish you nothing but continued success with your comedy routine. Thank you again! -- Cheryl V, IADCCT Convention, Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, NV
In the Proverbs, King Solomon said, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine...". You made our hearts exceedingly merry with your highly entertaining and squeaky clean comedy performance when you were with us. After the program, we heard numerous comments from the audience, including such things as:
"I can't remember the last time I had such a good belly laugh."
"I laughed till I cried."
"My jaws are tired from laughing so much."
Not only are you a wonderfully funny comedian, you exhibited complete poise and every aspect of your show was done with out-and-out professionalism. It is obvious that you are adept at dealing with unforeseen circumstances. Even though we had some problems with our sound and lighting, you didn't let it bother you but just went on with the show, keeping us laughing all the way through.
May God bless you bountifully as you continue to use your talents to entertain in a wholesome manner.
Yours in Christ, Ron Butler, Mainstream Pastor, Canyon Lake Community Church
Patrick Hanifin is the best comedian in Southern California! Will Morton, Owner and CEO of Million Laughs
Patrick was not only funny but very professional. We stayed in contact all the way up to the show. I have had some bad experiences in the past hiring comedians but I was beyond pleased with Patrick's overall show! Our paying guests were at the point of tears with most of his jokes. It's very hard to find a funny "clean comedian" these days but look no further. You sure kept our concert series going with ease! Hire this man and you will have no worries! Thanks again...! -- Ray W, Ciao Summer Concert Series, Riverside, CA
Patrick was absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard, he is extremely funny, and worth way more than he charges. My guests just raved about him, and thanks to Patrick, I'm known as throwing the best parties. I can't wait to hire him to come back again! -- Krystal D, Birthday Party, Lancaster, CA
Very funny and great guy. It's been a long time since I got cheek cramps from laughing so hard!! -- Rick C, Graduation Party, Commerce, CA
PATRICK HANIFISMS
IKEA - Everything that you buy in IKEA says, "Some assembly required". I bought a throw rug there. When I got home and opened up the box, it was a needle and some yarn.
News - I heard on the news today that our government is listening in on our phone conversations. Personally, I think that's a good idea. My girlfriend called me up today to break up. I go, "Oh, is that because I don't want to get involved with you and Al-Qaida?"
Exercise - I'm a member at 24 Hour Fitness. That's a great gym! I got a membership there for 99 dollars a year. It works out to just under 50 bucks a visit.
Weight Watchers - I actually joined Weight Watchers. At first I didn't think that it would work... but in 6 weeks I've already lost 85 dollars!
Banks - I don't think they're doing very well. I asked them my balance and they said I was overdrawn. I said, "How can I be overdrawn? I just made a deposit 3 days ago." They said, "Yeah, but we needed that money!"
This is fun to do. You know how at night there's always someone at the bank at the ATM machine taking out their money and they're really nervous? Stand real close right behind them, then look over their shoulder, and go, "Hey, was that last digit a five or a six?"
California State Lottery - I keep hoping to win the California State Lottery. Wouldn't that be great?! They come over to your house, knock on your door, and then they hand you that giant IOU!
99 Cent Store - I love that store! That's the only store I know where you can actually buy the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ERIK ESTRADA.
The Gap - This is fun. Go into the Gap clothing store. When they go, "Can I help you?" Say, "Yes, you know those machines that take the plastic tags off the clothes?" "Uh huh" "Where can you get one of those?"

- Patrick's performance was GREAT, just what we wanted. The crowd was pleased and really enjoyed the entertainment! -- Lorayne L, Temecula, CA, 8/18/2007
- He was very accommodating. He called and checked in and kept us informed of what he was going to talk about. He asked questions about members of our board, so that he could incorporate them into the show. He poked fun at some of the people in the audience, and everyone enjoyed him. He was funny and kept us laughing. The day after the show, I had a lot of people coming up and thanking me for finding a great entertainer. I immediatly told them to check Gig Masters, the sight was really easy, and fun to talk to the entertainers and hard to narrow it down to just one! Thank you Gig Masters I will keep recommending you! -- Tammy S, Las Vegas, NV, 1/20/2009
