Community EventReviewed on November 12, 2014From Baltimore, MD

One of the best indicators that someone really enjoyed themselves at a comedy show, is days later you hear people trying to retell the jokes. James left that impression on everyone that night. He made getting old sound really cool and funny.

EventReviewed on June 8, 2013From Norfolk, VA

We were a group of retired Naval Aviators. James is a nice guy and has talent as a comedian yet I thought that he could have been better prepared for the uniqueness of our group. I had sent James briefing information on our group and what we did as Naval Aviators yet at times during his act, he came across as really not fully understanding who we were. That said, I believe that had he been with a younger group that were more of a general audience he would have been more at ease and would do a great job. James did a good job.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on September 3, 2012From Baltimore, MD

The presentation was great. It was appropriate for the audience which included senior citizens. Mr. Lawson was interactive with the audience. It is also worthwhile to note that he called to confirm the time and arrived early. Great experience!!

Retirement PartyReviewed on April 2, 2012From Roanoke, VA

James was absolutely wonderful and FUNNY! He used the information I gave him on my dad and incorporated it into his act. The retirement party was a huge success!! Everyone is still talking about how funny he was! CLEAN can be just as funny. He is a great Christian Comedian. I WILL DEFINTELY use him again!

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 31, 2011From Washington, DC

Mr. Lawson is a "Professional" in every sense of the word. He communicated throughout the process, keeping patient and relaxed that he'd be on time and not cancel at the last minute. He is a very mature person, he was very cognizant of the audience of young and old and did not swear. His price was fair and reasonable as was his performance time Overall I'd say he was a 10+ in every sense of the word and I don't give out 10's lightly. I hope to invite him back next year.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 12, 2011From Charlottesville, VA

James did a great job and was very flexible. Not only did he have the challenge of not having a "captive" audience since people were still mingling and there weren't enough seats, but he also brought another comedian to open for him who was equally as talented. In spite of the noise challenges and the length of time he was tasked with filling, he successfully and consistently got great laughs for our crowd. We had a great time!

Family ReunionReviewed on August 16, 2011From Alexandria, VA

I would like to begin by saying James Lawson is a hilarious individual who can identify with any audience. Our family reunion had people in attendance ranging in age from 2 to 97 and he entertained everyone thoroughly. Each topic was clean, funny, and delivered with perfection. He was also very professional in appearance and patient in the coordination of this event. His performance at our dinner banquet truly set the tone for a wonderful evening and many compliments. I would truly recommend James Lawson for any event as my family enjoyed themselves tremendously. Candace Wiggins

James Lawson is just plain funny! I requested a clean comedy performance and that was excatly what I received. All ages were present and James had them all laughing! James addressed all concerns promptly and honestly and arrived in a very prompt manner, well groomed for the occasion. Thanks James for helping to make my birthday party filled with pleasant memories. Janice Bowser

My family and I really enjoyed Mr. Lawson's performance. He is really talented. He was able to put on an enjoyable show that even my 9 and 11 year old sons enjoyed. He was the highlight of the evening and my guest are still raving about his performance. For my next big event I plan on reaching out to Mr. Lawson and I would recommend him to anyone who enjoys good clean comedy that the whole entire family can relate to and enjoy!

I think Mr. Lawson is an excellent performer. I have gotten feed back from the rest of the audience. We would most definitely hire him to do another event. Randy Radford
