Not your typical Standup Comedian. Formerly a designer for ESPN, John holds nothing back, and relentlessly shares his unique perspective of the world with audiences all over the country.

John is an Emmy-Award winner who has been seen on American Idol, Maury Povich, Salt, Cupid, Mother May I, and The Roast of John Powers!

When not on stage, John plays guitar on the sidewalk, and enjoys short walks on the beach. If you like being alive, and laughing at stuff, this guy is for you!

John Powers has performed at:
Comix, EastVille, Caroline's, Stand-Up NY, Laugh Lounge, Laugh Factory, Orlando Improv Comic Strip Live, Gotham Comedy Club, NY Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club

John was terrible. He arrived early which was great but managed to down three drinks before his performance. He lasted a total of 12 minutes before we asked him to leave. He let the F bomb fly 5 minutes into his unfunny act after being told this was a mixed audience of teens and adults. I would not recommend him for any Christmas party or Corporate event...not funny at all. I paid him the full amount agreed upon just to make him stop.

John Powers’s Response:

This party was a collection of the most obnoxious people in town. Not only was there no introduction what-so-ever, but I went up immediately after dinner and a bunch of announcements nobody was paying attention to. The comments above say that I was drinking, but I don't drink alcohol. I had one pepsi. My act is funny, but not to a backwoods town that has never been to another town. After 30 minutes of crowdwork and 5 minutes of material, it was obvious that nobody there wanted to hear comedy. The numbers above are not an accurate representation of last night's performance.
