Description

*John Jackshaw shows that rare potential of a comic who understands the possibilities of translating reality into solid material and laughs. -Steve B. Young-political editor of National Lampoon **Credits: LAUGH FACTORY-Hollywood(Showcase)*The Comedy Store-Hollywood*BRANSON COMEDY FESTIVAL*LAFF SPOT-Houston*ADDISON IMPROV-ADDISON/DALLAS*THE COMEDY SHOWCASE-Houston *His slanted view of the world has audiences coming back again and again I guarantee you that John will move your audience in ways that will remind you of days gone by when the comedian came out and simply had his way with the room. -Rod Mitchell-Adventures in Media, Inc. *More extensive references+audio & video files are available at his web site. *John Jackshaw is one very funny stand-up comedian, with a twist. He is one, of only two touring blind comics in the country. Whether it is a deranged serial hypnotist, Noah in jail, airline antagonistics, his unique slant on the news of the day, or outrageous ramblings about being blind, John finds humor in all of it, while conveying an underlying message of motivation by meeting life head-on, with a punch-line. With a charismatic stage presence, and original clean material, John is fast making a name for himself as a top-notch prime time television quality comedian. He can be edgy enough for comedy clubs, while adhering to his own clean style that makes him perfect for television, radio, corporate, and fund raising events. John's commentary, on the adventures and obstacles of life, proves that laughter does strike twice in the same place.

Feedback

  • John was very accomodating to our needs. His show was excellent and our attendees were laughing all evening. His show was professionally done and all attendees said they would like to hear him perform again. He is a comedian of the highest caliber and I would highly reccommend him to perform for other groups -- Frank M, Houston, TX, 12/9/2008
  • John was a trooper! After getting stuck in traffic, not being able to reach me by phone, then smacking his face on a concrete pole...he came in and did a great job and made the crowd laugh. It was a good clean show and he was a very nice guy. -- Michelle P, Lake Jackson, TX, 12/12/2008
  • John was very clean in his material which of course was a must for a church group. He seemed to get better as he went along. I would reccomend John for any venue who wished to have a comedy show with a clean appeal. Philip Duncan Woodsedge Community Church Singles Leadership Committee -- Philip D, The Woodlands, TX, 12/14/2008
