Description

Clean comedian Rik Roberts puts as much emphasis on being funny as he does making you look good for hiring him. He gets to the punch line quickly. And he takes his time to get to know your group as the show unfolds. In addition to being a professional comedian for the past 15 years, Rik is one of the nation's most sought after Barney Fife Impersonator. He can provide a "double impact" by appearing as the Deputy and as a headlining comedian!

The material he presents has the audience reflecting in their own experiences. Parenting, family, hunting and country life are just part of Rik's routine. When he grabs the guitar, prepare to relive your past through his original comedy songs.

Rik performs anywhere folks prefer CLEAN comedy. From churches and fundraisers to corporate events and a few choice comedy clubs … he enjoys the good-natured fun we all draw from every day experiences.

Rik splits his time between Nashville, TN and Austin, TX (and EVERYWHERE else around the country). Northerners need not worry about whether his act will connect with their audiences. He's performed in 42 states, Canada, the Caribbean and ... your town?

Feedback

  • Rik was EXCELLENT!! Usually our Christmas party is kind of HO HUM. But this year, with Barney and Rik it was a complete success. Barney added humor and nostalgia. When Rik came on, the party started. He was funny, professional and really got the crowd going. His comedy was clean and FUNNY!! I will definately recommend Rik to everyone looking for a comedian to enhance their party. Thank you to Rik for a wonderful Christmas Party!! -- Patricia R, Houston, TX, 12/6/2008
  • Rik was a great all-around performer: his Barney Fife impersonation helped get the crowd warmed up, and his comedy performance was funny, witty, and kept the crowd laughing. We got tremendous positive feedback from all who attended our event. We'll hire him again for sure. Thanks! Christa Black MOPS of WHAG -- Christa B, San Antonio, TX, 5/4/2008
  • Rik was gracious, accomodating and did exactly what he said he would. It was a tough weekend because of Hurricane Ike but he made it all work. This was a birthday party for my wife and the "audience" was mixed....including a number of small (2 and under) children. He worked them all into the routine and had fun. Our guests liked him a lot and I received lots of positive feedback on his performance both as Barney and his "stand up" comedy. I'm glad I found him and would certainly recommend him to others. -- Kenneth G, Austin, TX, 9/13/2008
  • Rik was great. Everyone had a great time. His Barney Fife impersonation was great too. We would definitely have him back if we have another meeting. -- Leah T, Houston, TX, 3/24/2008
  • We hired Rik for a company service award banquet. We had a much smaller crowd than expected, but he handled it very well. Barney was a big hit! He worked the crowd into his act, and he kept everyone in stitches! A very refreshing, funny performance! I received many good reports from the attendees that evening and the next day. I highly recommend Rik. -- Sue M, Lake Charles, LA, 6/25/2008
