I highly recommend him. --Ford Demming, Coordinator, Green Valley, AZ table tennis club dinner party Awesome entertainment! John was great! It was a funny show with lots of audience interactions! The ventriloquism was outstanding; and John even threw in some magic performed by his characters too. Great job! --Aaron Gillan, Mentalist Your audience will love John Nolander! Ours did. John shows up early and stays until the last patron wanting a photograph takes the snap shot. He is a crowd favorite and I can't imagine anybody not being pleased with his performances. --Randy Jenkins, Producer, Marana & Vail Laughs Bark.com 5 Star Review: John's one of the easiest performers I've had the privilege to work with. A few days ago I had that privilege again. He still gets a great response from his audience. The surprise magic appearance of Crash the Buzzard had the kids squealing with delight. John knows how to bring his characters - and his audiences' imaginations - to life. --Rod Robison, Mentalist ABOUT JOHN & UNIQUELY SPEAKING COMEDY We fulfill the needs of organizations that need clean, hilarious entertainment for their event.
