A.J. Hapenny

I’ve known Aj for many years and I was So happy when he said he would officiate my wedding! He was quick to respond, flexible with dates and times, and professional in his delivery.
I’ve also seen much of his stand up and can attest that if you hire him for an evening, you will not be disappointed! Highly recommend!!

We booked A.J for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made during the whole wedding planning process! This wasn’t your ordinary gig. First off, we hired A.J to be an MC at our wedding reception and our families are Russian and Cape Verdean, which might be intimidating to anyone, but A.J didn’t even flinch when I told him about the crazy cultural mixture! He was punctual, helpful, he ran the event 100% smoothly as an MC, he helped with the music as much as he could (we didn’t have a DJ because it was a really small wedding), he was hilarious but appropriate with kids being there, and he hyped up the whole event the entire time. I couldn’t be happier or more appreciative of all of his work!! If anyone was to ask me, I would say Book Him! And let me tell you this guy is hilarious! So comedy clubs book him!!! Just overall a great person and entertainer. Thank you for making our wedding so amazing :)

I thought they were super funny and I'm glad they were able to do in Spanish as well since half of our audience were Hispanic. They were also very responsive and accommodating to our needs.

Thank you AJ and Miguel.

My husband and I spent quite a while searching for an officiant to fit our very unique and offbeat wedding in a car museum. We wanted a ceremony that was personal and sentimental, but also full of laughter and fun. Before I even walked down the aisle, I could hear my guests roaring with laughter - it really set the tone for a fun filled celebration. AJ hit all the marks perfectly.

Thank you, AJ!!

It was great to have AJ emcee my husbands 50th birthday party - it took the pressure off of me as the hostess. He kept the party flowing and the guests engaged. Jessalyn told some funny jokes and helped make sure we got the guests taking fun pics in the photo booth. So glad we hired them!

AJ and the Paperback Comedy team came to a fundraiser we were hosting in NJ. Each comic provided a constant flow of laughter and there was something for every for of humor to enjoy. I found myself along with colleagues, family and friends were in tears from laughing so much. We would love to bring them back in the future!

Outstanding Performer! Great Guy! Very professional! Set up his equipment! Without a doubt will have you in stitches! We would highly recommend this gentleman and his expertise no matter what the venue! They pulled it off without a hitch and had the room in tears they were laughing so hard! Extremely accessible and very responsive! Very high "5"!!! Would give a 10 if possible!! It was a great time! Thank you so much!!

We booked AJ for our wedding and he was amazing! He walked us through the process and helped us with our vows. He took the time to personalize the ceremony which was a huge hit! We are so glad we made the decision to work with him.

A.J. roasted a retiree from my company and was flexible, funny and brought a second comedian Ed Waugh.

What an outstanding job your team did tonight. You kept everyone in stiches throughout the evening. We will definitely be booking you guys again next year~ And a HUGE Thank you for making our fundraising event so successful!!

I though AJ, Ed Waugh, and Drew Dunn did a fantastic job. They stayed working my “PG-13” requirement as this was a corporate event and were still able to be funny.

Great guy! Lots of laughs throughout the night! Will hire him again and again.

A.J. Hapenny came to hour home with Ed Waugh and Justin P. Drew to celebrate with us my husband Birthday. They all created a wonderful atmosphere. It felt like we had a comedy club at home. They were really funny. Great Job. Thank you D.K

We had a blast during the show. It was well liked by adults and kids of all ages. They did a card trick games for the kids too.

I hired AJ Hapenny for my husbands surprise birthday party. He was professional and promptly responded to my many questions. His group arrived on time and gave us a great show with plenty of laughter. I would higher him again without hesitation.

They were very fun to work with and everyone had a blast! Will definitely use them again if an occasion arises. Also feel like I made some new friends!

Excellent Comedian! AJ can observe, relate and conform to any audience type. He is well respected and adored by his fellow comedians! As a professional he is very good at making certain all aspects of the event are well thought out and achieved, flawlessly. Goes above and beyond! Highly recommended!

I have been lucky to have worked with Mr. Hapenny on several occasions. First and foremost, he is a class act. Mr. Hapenny behaves in a very professional manner with whatever event he performs. Regardless if it's a fund raiser, a birthday party, or a farewell extravaganza, he carries himself accordingly, always gracious to his hosts and benefactors. Second, his performance. Mr. Hapenny has mastered the art of winning over an audience. He is genuine and dynamic onstage, and he has no qualms sharing the stage with others. His stage persona and routine is constantly evolving and developing, allowing him to reach out to the crowd and connect with his audience. No question about it, AJ Hapenny is the right comic to call.

A.J has an attention to detail that is truly amazing he is a pleasure to work with and I'm excited to hire him again. I would recommend his service as a comic and producer to anyone who asks!
