Stan's shows can be anywhere from PG to PG-13. His jokes cover a lifetime of experience, from being married over 40 years to family, aging, sex, politics and business.

• I just wanted to say Thank You again for coming to our company function. We enjoyed having you. It was the first time we have ever done anything like that so it was a privilege to have you! I know we had a tough crowd but I have received several compliments this morning for hiring you. Thank you again for making this function one we can remember. Look forward to seeing ya’ll again in the future! -- Brandy F, Sand Springs, OK, 7/21/2011
• I couldn't have chosen a more perfect entertainer for my husband's 30th birthday. Stan was fantastic! He had my guests (45 guests: age 21-70) rolling in their seats! My husband said it was best gift I'd ever given him....I am so happy I hired Stan :) I asked Stan if he could "gig" my husband on getting old and his profession as a "bovine repro tech". Not only did Stan write new personalized jokes, he also wrote a short song and even drew a cartoon of my husband! The personal touch was priceless and hilarious!! (Something not every comedian can do...true talent.) Stan, I can't say thank you enough for everything...you made the night unforgetable!! -- Tyla B, Stillwater, OK, 2/11/2012
