Community Event•Reviewed on September 12, 2008•From Bismarck, ND
Our decision to hire Phil Van Tee to perform before audiences in Bismarck (ND)'s beautiful turn-of-the-(last)-century Belle Mehus Auditorium was one of the best decisions we've made all year. He was an absolute pro, a pleasure to work with, extremely easy to coordinate stage activities through, and showed true entertainment leadership in helping us through one completely unforeseeable situation. This man is funny, funny, funny, and the crowd loved him. Hire him if you can. He will make your event an absolute success!

Phil did a great job entertaining for our corporate holiday party. Everyone was utterly amazed by his magic tricks and his stand-up routine was very funny and tasteful for our event. Phil was on-time, extremely professional and very accomodating. We would definitely book Phil Van Tee again!

Good clean family fun. Phils 'down home' style is sure to set your guests at ease. Refreshing change from the foul mouth comedians so prevalent these days. Thumbs up for Phil, we need more like him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 8, 2007•From Pico Rivera, CA
Phil did a great job!!!! He was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable from the outset. He was very easy to contact by phone or email and always got back to me. Phil's comedy and magic was very well suited for the large group of adults and kids at my wife's birthday party. His act allowed for her and others to participate and that was a big hit!!!! After his general performance, he spent quite some time performing table top magic tricks which kept many people amazed and amused. I was very happy with Phil's performance and would recommend him for any party. Phil made a very special evening even more special...thanks Phil!!! Pete R.

Phil is a pleasure to work with. He is very warm and responsive to our requests. His humor is great, purely down-home and rated E for everyone! We loved the magic tricks, too, especially the audience participation part! He has us "amazed and mystified" and laughing! Thank you Phil, for a great time!

I was so very pleased with Phil Van Tee...he was not only a wonderful comedian but a wonderful person...he took the time to find out about the purpose behind my event..as it was a tribute to my late husband. Phil took the time to talk to me personally and showed so much compassion...and would i recommend him? you bet I would...the distance he drove just to perform at my event was more that I could have asked for...there aren't enough words to say thank you...Mr. Van Tee made my event very special and one that we will always be greatful to him for...He help me start a new chapter in my life in which I could face tomorrow with a smile...Thank very much for everything.
Sincerely,
Jennie Depue

Wedding•Reviewed on June 3, 2006•From Templeton, CA
Phil Van Tee is a wonderful person and a fantastic performer. He made all of us laugh -- and this covered a wide age group (the youngest being 4 yrs. and the oldest 80 yrs.).
Phil's talent, kindness, integrity, and professionalism just can't be beat.
Many of the guests at our wedding (where Phil performed) plan to hire him for their upcoming events. He will be our first choice for future events too!
We HIGHLY recommend Phil to all.
Thank you, Phil, for bringing laughter to our world.

Awards Night Party•Reviewed on February 3, 2006•From Spearfish, SD
From the moment I booked Phil for our event I felt as if I had found a new personal friend. His talent speaks for itself if you
listen to his audio clips you will see what a truly talented gentle man he is. What you won't be able to tell from the clips is how personable and friendly he is. We had a group of about 60 physicians along with their spouses and children in attendance. Phil not only entertained the full audience with his range and style of jokes and musical quips but about an hour after the show, I found him poolside with the 17 year old son of one of my physicians. The teenager had gotten out his guitar and Phil was playing his banjo and they had a crowd of children gathered around. It warmed my heart to be able to find someone as personable as Phil to attend our conference and to watch the rapport he had with not only the adults but the youngsters as well. They say laughter is good for your soul- If that is true- the Phil Van Tee is good for your soul!! I highly recommend this entertainer!

How honored we were to have talent of this magnitude in our little Comedy Club. The audience warmed very quickly to the outstanding show. Phil is a genius at improvising with our guests. It seemed like he had planned every aspect of the show just for us. I would recommend him for any audience. We are committed to having different acts through the last of this year, but, we will be pleading to have him back, as soon as possible, in the New Year.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 16, 2005•From Hawthorne, CA
I thought Mr. Van Tee did an absolutely excellent job. He was everything we could have hoped for and more. The guests are still talking about his perfomance today.
He was very professional and yet very down home friendly and personable. He managed to work the crowd very well and included them which made everyone feel very special.
I would definitely hire him again without hesitation. He was very easy to work with.
I am hoping to be able to take friends to see him very soon. Thanks again - - - I love your site and we all love Phil Van Tee!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 13, 2005•From Los Osos, CA
This event was a Rotary-sponsored fundraiser for Habitat For Humanity, and the first time we've tried anything close to a comedy venue in our community. Phil was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, his routine had everyone in hysterics. And for the true soul of wit, forget brevity; In this day and age if a comedian can make people laugh without vulgarity, I'd call them wittier by far, and Phil pulls it off beautifully. He even found little ways to personalize his act to our little town... brilliant! 10 out of 10.

Church Service•Reviewed on June 16, 2006•From Fort Lauderdale, FL
I was a little skeptical hiring a comedian over the internet, but after some e-mail communication and a couple of phone conversations, I was satistified with hiring Phil Van Tee. Phil is truly a professional and accomodating in every way. I know from experience that speaking in a church requires that a person be sensitive to topics of conversation. Phil was great! He engaged the men at our event and kept them laughing throughout his set. On a personal level, I was able to spend time with Phil and as a man, he cares about people and has a heartfelt concern about his performances and he takes his profession very seriously. Phil also performed on Saturday morning for a group of kids from a local foster shelter. He was personable, interactive and put on a great show for the kids.
If you are looking for a comic with whom you will truly get what you pay for and you won't have to be concerned with his material being offensive in any way.......Hire Phil Van Tee!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 25, 2007•From Manhattan Beach, CA
Phil entertained 40 guests in our garden for about 90 minutes during cocktails before a black tie birthday dinner. In conversations before the event, Phil listened attentively to all my concerns, instructions, wants and needs. That he truly respected them was demonstrated on the night as he moved between chatting groups showing an elegant sensitivity to the different conversations, moving on or stopping to give his routine as the group's energy allowed. People watched him with absolutely rivetted, sometimes mouth-hanging-open, attention, followed by gails of laughter. Feedback after was, "We LOVED him". I recommend Phil Van Tee without reservation.

Convention•Reviewed on April 27, 2007•From Ontario, CA
Our group of water professionals really appreciated Phils' variety of material and the pre banquet small group table magic was particularly liked. The stage show was clean and really well done and timing was good. Great guy on the banjo too with stories we all could relate to. I would have him back anytime we had the need.

Phil was fantastic. He couldnt be missed entering the party being 6'8 and all. He was professional and tailored his jokes according to the crowds response. Everyone at the party taking about how great he was for weeks. I have even heard some friends repeating his jokes. I highly recommend Phil.
