February 3, 2026We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Jacob Parnell at our church's Volunteer Appreciation Night, and he was fantastic! His set was genuinely funny, very relatable, and family-friendly—something our entire audience could enjoy together. For about 25 minutes, he had the room laughing nonstop while also connecting with real-life moments that resonated with everyone. He brought great energy, professionalism, and heart to the evening, making our volunteers feel celebrated and cared for. We’re so grateful for his contribution to such a special night and would highly recommend him to any church or organization looking for clean, engaging, and most importantly, funny comedian.

November 12, 2025Our church hosted an event for our Men’s Ministry and we wanted to close out the year with an event that had food, laughter and a word of encouragement. Jacob absolutely delivered on bringing the laughter! It was clean, topical and well received. Would definitely recommend him for all types of venues and organizations!

September 9, 2025Part Preacher, Part Comic: All Hilarious.
Went out to this show to watch an old buddy of mine from High School do some Stand-Up and this gentleman was on the bill as well.
Very consistent, confident and family friendly (which is so hard to find in local comedy). We liked his set better than my friend's (which I told him in secret after the show).
If you need a host or a headliner, he is your man. BOOK HIM. 5/5!!!

March 7, 2025Jacob was a good guy. He and his daughter were very kind and punctual. He was willing to adapt with our time schedule. He was hired on for a church event and I enjoyed his set. Thank You Jacob for being with us on this day. God Bless You!

February 21, 2025I booked Jacob for two sold out comedy shows at Pepperdine University. The audience loved him. His comedy is very relatable and clean. I'd hire him back for another event. I highly recommend him!
