A CAN’T MISS

A few years ago, I was planning a visit to NYC and googled things to do besides Broadway. I came across an advertisement for a show at The Duplex entitled Mama I Want to Sing a Show Tune, a One ‘Mo Show. I thought, OMG that’s my life! I had a great time, and have been a fan ever since. Imagine my excitement when I discovered Adam had a podcast. I’m a faithful listener who anticipates every episode. Adam’s interviewing skills are unmatched. Keep it up the great work!!

He's fabulous!

"Best party ever!!!" That's all we heard from the 230 people who attended our event. How on earth do you find entertainment that's hysterically funny, fresh, charming and warm, and make it appeal to a sophisticated audience that ranges from 30 somethings up to 80 plus year olds (we were concerned that a few of the older audience might - quite literally - die laughing).? We can now say with complete assurance that the best way to do that is to hire Adam Sank!
In addition to being a stellar performer, Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with. We described the diversity and nature of our audience, and he was off and running. We asked if he could lead a fundraising "brick" sale immediately following his act - we had heard from others that he was a highly skilled fundraiser at events. He gave us helpful input on how to structure the sale, and was so successful that we far and away exceeded our goals.
We all fell in love with Adam. Many asked for his contact information for their pet organizations, other asked if they could "fix him up", and we all wanted him as our best, and most entertaining, friend. You can't do better!

Brilliantly Funny

Adam Sank is an amazingly funny guy. He not only won over the audience with his well-crafted, often self-deprecating jokes, but also attracted bystanders who never intended to stay but slowly slipped in to hear him. Adam is easy on the eyes and has a charming personality. He’s also brilliant and sharp. That’s reflected in the quality of his performance. He did his research, including local references into his jokes. With laser-fast wit, he jumped on those unexpected opportunities to crack a joke. He does a great job gauging audience reaction. He quickly moved the direction of his routine to keep the audience engaged, but without losing his humorous edge. And on a college campus, that’s tough to do—but he did it spectacularly.

Crowd drawing, HILARIOUS comedian!

Adam was brought to my attention by a mutual friend. I owned a lounge in Little Rock, called Star Bar. The mention of Adam swinging by to share with us his "Break up Comedy Tour", brought the crowd in larger than it normally would have been. After the first show, and after the patrons called their friends to get to Star Bar to see his second show, I had a full house! Adam is a crowd pleaser! He appeared to know my crowd and they all reacted to him as if they knew and loved him! He is Hilarious and is a natural born entertainer! Thank you Adam for making our night!!!
