Review by Taylor R.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 8, 2024•From Mokena, IL

Jay was great to work with. He was timely, professional, and was able to manage a loud crowd. We booked him for my a 30th surprise party. He was able to work with content of the guest of honor as well as engage others throughout the crowd. He had a variety of jokes that touched on each age group. I highly recommend Jay for any comedy events you are looking to book!

:

Thanks for the kind words Taylor - hope to see you & Anthony again sometime !

Corporate Function•Reviewed on June 5, 2015•From Oshkosh, WI

Jay came to our venue for our sales meeting and presented for an hour. It was light, fun, and informal. Our group participated and added their humor, which he reacted to well. Thank you Jay for adding humor and laughter to our dinner; it was enjoyed by all.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 16, 2015•From Madison, WI

Jay had to keep the material at a PG 13 and did a great job. I laughed continually, but the family members on both my wife and my side are somewhat stoic and it was difficult to get a laugh from them. The party stayed upbeat and he tried his best, but in the end he felt disappointed that the group did not help in participation. He is a great guy.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 13, 2010•From Terre Haute, IN

This was a corporate event and it was expected to remain a clean comedy show. However, it didn't remain clean. There were a lot of racial remarks and inappropriate jokes. I would recommend Jay to a young open-minded audience but not for a professional corporate event.

:

I have a corporate background, so I'm familiar with what's politically correct...unfortunately you can never tell when a particular joke or two will offend someone. I made sure to ask Melinda if certain words were ok to use....and none were used that she didn't approve...so I'm sorry that some jokes were misconstrued as inappropriate.

Prom•Reviewed on April 26, 2016•From Wabash, IN

We were VERY unhappy. We asked for no bad language and appropriate content for students ages 15-18 and were not provided with that at all. I told him several times that this was a christian conservative community and that there were children present. His performance was totally inappropriate. He discussed sex (in many forms), STDs, bars, hangovers, and being drunk. He was informed several times that this was a school event but his content was NOT appropriate for the age of his audience. He told me before he left that he knew I wasn't happy, but he thought it went well. The students were very upset with his show.

:

I drove 6 hours round-trip, from Chicago to Indiana, on my 46th birthday, for a 1 am show, and this is my thanks. For someone who was very unhappy with my performance, Angie seemed to be laughing the hardest. Per request, I didn't curse or use foul language at all. Just saying the words "hangover" or "sex " without being descriptive in any way- does not make it inappropriate. The topics discussed were not only suitable for this group, but can also be found on TV at all hours. I even asked her before the show if there were any ground rules and received her approval on one joke. Angie should be ashamed and embarrassed of herself for being a miserable human being.
