This event was SPECTACULAR! Angie came dressed as a quirky character, a bit disheveled and executed the best comedy roast I have every attended in an initmate setting of 30 executives. Everything went off without a hitch. I woke this morning to an overwhelming amound of text messages, thanking me for a perfectly executed evening. This event was by far the best we ever had.

May 19, 2024Absolutely Hilarious
Angela Riccio is one of the funniest comedians I have seen. I hired Angela for a fundraiser in Cedar Lake, IN. She kept in contact before the show and she asked about the town and the people so she could make it more personal and to help her interact with the audience. She arrived early for the event and was well prepared.She walks through the audience and interacts with them. Everyone loved her. People were laughing so hard they had tears running down their face. The time just flew. People came up to me after the show and told me how great she was.
You will not go wrong if you hire Angela. I HIGHLY recommend her. She is one of the best. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

May 7, 2024Angie Riccio...Superlative Performance!
There are moments in one's life when you cross paths with a person who is able to make a uniquely positive difference in the lives of others and that is Angie Riccio! We had just developed a new community center for our church and we asked Angie to perform for a special evening with 80 guests for cocktails/appetizers and her engaging comedy show. From our very first conversation months ahead of the event to the final minutes of our evening together, Angie simply hit it out of the park in every way! She is personable, professional, and especially clever with her humor. She had every person in the room in stitches...everybody loved her! She makes a particularly conscientious effort ahead of time to learn unique dynamics of your audience and personalizes your event to meet your needs. She was exactly what we needed to provide positive momentum and energy for our new community center. Her humor reaches across all ages, personalities, and dynamics especially well...our event happened 2 weeks ago and guests are still talking about their deep satisfaction and enjoyment with Angie. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and hope that our paths cross again in some way. You don't want to miss this opportunity to have Angie add comedic richness and warmth to your event.

May 22, 2025Round two was a hit!!
Angela returned to entertain our fundraiser for a second year in a row. She had everyone in stitches again!! Ours is an annual event, but she was able to change things up, add new material, and make the experience personal by engaging with every attendee. She is a delight to work with. We recommend her for any event, even in a church, like ours.

Angela did a great job ! We had a 45th Anniversary for a Seniors club . Most of the guests were crying from laughing so hard . Just a few thought the sex and marriage part was too risqué . But you can never please everyone . I thought Angie was hysterical ! Wish I could post a photo so you could see everyone cracking up ! Great job , Angie !
