Great laughs and excellent professional speaker!

I have had the pleasure of working with Adam Kessler on two separate events. First, as a speaker providing professional development for a conference. Adam also worked with my service club to organize a comedy benefit show. He both performed, as well as coordinated the recruitment of other talent for the show. Both events were great successes! In fact, my service club is planning on making the comedy benefit show an annual event. Adam is a funny, dynamic comedian. His clean comedy is refreshing.

Hilarity Ensues

I was a bit hesitant setting up a comedian however this dude rocked it!
He was on time communicated his arrival to the area and then when he showed up to the even.
He even provided an opening act after we had adjusted our duration so it would just be Adam.
This was a welcomed surprise as we were originally wanting a longer act.
Hire Adam and HILARITY WILL CERTAINLY ENSUE!!!

Adam was GREAT for Company Event

Adam was great during our company event. I told him that I wanted a clean comedy show But you could tote the line a little bit... now it's a little bit nervous giving him a little leeway but he executed this perfectly. None of the jokes were over the top or offensive.
But I really appreciate it was his comedy style where he takes relevant information and then interacts with the crowd through his effect of storytelling and one liners.
If you need a comedian for your corporate event or for a family reunion or anywhere where you need to have a clean comedy show with no further Adams or guy. We will be booking Adam in the future!

Good clean routine, very personable and entertaining.

Adam, You are a funny guy but some our residents are just to old to understand a lot of your content. The giraffe was way over there head. A younger crowd would appreciate you more. Comments about building planes during WWII was a very important part of some of our residents lives, the fact that these housewives were hired by the military during war efforts made them just as much a veteran as their husbands that were serving. Not a good joke point. The pope was great but some of the others were out of their realm. Stories and jokes about families and tricks they play on each other when they had nothing would of been more in their scope of things. One guy told me that is cousin tied to cows tails together and they pulled so hard to get apart that one pulled the others tail right off. Just a thought for your next show. Thank you again.

What to Expect

FUNNY stand-up comedy! Great for any corporate event, high school reunion, Christmas party, church, fundraiser, birthday party, etc.

About

Adam Kessler started performing stand-up comedy when he was 5 years old (back in 1981) in the living room for his mom. He would watch comedians on TV and then come out & recite the jokes during commercials. He has since developed a style all of his own. Adam places being a comedian above almost everything else, he's always loved telling jokes and making people laugh. He's headlined shows and worked as an opening act for some of his favorite touring comedians. Adam Kessler is a one of a kind stand-up comic who writes jokes every day and loves everything about the world of stand-up comedy. He watches a lot of stand-up comedy and can recite a joke he heard back in 1981 as if he heard it this morning. He has performed all over Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, New York and Canada. Adam Kessler thinks that the world needs more laughter and he never gets tired of hearing, reading, or watching people tell jokes. The next time you see him you should tell him a joke or ask him to tell you one. Being a comedian has always been Adam Kessler's dream and he thinks living your dream is pretty important too.

Adam has appeared at comedy clubs, corporate events, and casinos. Clean Routines on: marriage and relationships, TV, movies, the Olympics, and more. Adams previous clients include: Costco, ReMax, Comcast, Kiwanis, Windermere, 97 Rock Radio, Senske Lawn Care, Nez Perce Tribe, Cascade Natural Gas, and many more!

Leave 'em laughing and wanting more! End your meeting or event on a high note. Clean, intelligent comedy without being offensive. Adam has been the featured entertainment for more than 200 events.

Reviews:

"Adam is real, and uses real life to bring people together for hilarious fun across industries. He can pick up nuances of a group last minute and incorporate that into his act. He is charming, down to earth and original. He is easy to work with and is very flexible with last minute complications. I highly recommend him for your small or large group gathering to lighten the mood and keep your audience engaged." -Alice Ray-Graham, President of the Oregon Collector Association

"Adam, Thanks for entertaining at our WA State Beta Sigma Phi convention. We enjoyed the clean comedy routine. We also appreciate that you hung around and joined in our skits after your show. Look forward to seeing you again!" -Debbie

"For what it's worth I would definitely back Adam Kessler as one of the funniest men you have never heard of." -Adam Lamberd from 97 Rock

"Clever, funny, original, entertaining, and CLEAN humor to boot! Would highly recommend for a family affair, mixed crowd, or any group setting -- we certainly enjoyed him!" -Michelle Juette, AAHAM Yakima Meeting

"Thank you Adam!!!!!! GREAT SHOW!!!" -Jack Didley's Comedy Club

"We brought Adam in to liven things up at a benefit concert. He was hilarious! Everyone had a great time. This was no easy task, since the crowd had adults and kids in attendance, but Adam even had the youngsters whooping it up! He also helped raise money for the cause." - Jason Ball

"Thank you for the show, it was great" -Ginie Meeks

"Adam, Everyone in our yacht club thought you were absolutely wonderful. Had a great time with your show, and your wide range of humor. You kept everyone engaged, and drew constant laughs from our audience. We loved your routine and would highly recommend you for any type of venue. Thanks for making everyone laugh and adding to the weekend fun during our cruise." - Nick Jonson

"Quality content. I think you have a next level talent. Keep it up." - Comedian Keith Richards

"We had a great time."- Andrew P. Union Gospel Mission

"Great Show, We have a more conservative crowd and we were very pleased with the clean but still funny show. We would definitely welcome Adam back in the future." - Dave Jonason

One last note from Adam...
If you provide me some background on your group I will write some jokes specifically for you to help make the show unique for your company. I've done comedy everywhere - comedy clubs, bars, boat docks, homeless shelters, in home birthday parties, camp sites, banquets, high school auditoriums, retirement homes, etc. Please go read the reviews on my website, watch my videos, check out my jokes and funny promo posters. Don't just hire a comedian because he or she is cheaper or has been on TV. Really look at who you're hiring and what people are saying about them and their show. Thank you for your time and thank you for thinking of hiring a comedian for your event!
