We requested something clean for our senior audience. Billy was asked specifically to keep his performance clean, and he did use some offensive language/stories. A few of our guests were uncomfortable. His comedy was good, I think we were just the wrong audience for the majority of his performance.

I did not use offensive language or content. The client did not mention anything negative to me after the show. This review comes as a complete surprise as I specialize in clean and funny comedy shows tailored to older crowds.

Billy Ray was great. I had seen him previously and was impressed how he could just walk through a room so effortlessly and have fun with the audience. His show was great, and covered a range of ages. Laughed from beginning to end. He was very personable and we enjoyed dining and getting to know him.

Billy Ray Bauer preformed a private birthday party at bar for us. He was very down to earth & such a pleasure to work with. The crowd absolutely loved him! We had a blast with him. If you are looking for a comedian for your event, you can't go wrong with Mr. Bauer.

I booked Billy Ray for a private birthday for my wife and guests. I thoroughly enjoyed his routine as did my guests. Very professional, charismatic guy. I highly recommend him. He spent some time with my guests before and after his show. We will remember this for years to come. Thanks Billy, I appreciate it!

Straight up....Billy Ray Bauer (BRB) is a legend!
A group of 'young professionals' had BRB perform some of his comedy and BRB didn't disappoint. He knew the crowd, rocked some amazing jokes and had an encore performance that has kept us laughing ever since.
Don't play russian (chat) roulette with your comedians...choose BRB!

I gotta say Billy Ray did a fantastic job honing his routine for our senior community! It's not easy to be SOOO funny while keeping it clean at the same time. Fantastic, absolutely the best comedian I've ever seen live, and I've seen a lot!
