Grave Digger provided entertainment at our parent's 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Guests absolutely loved his comedy and he tailored it for the crowd. Loved, Loved, Loved him!

May 30, 2016L&A Perry Scholarship Fund Luncheon
I was VERY disappointed in the Grave Digger's performance. No statements were related to the event and the request to make jokes related to the challenges of being a father. Inappropriate content was introduced for the audience; and the comedian has been informed that children would be present. Also, Grave Digger continued well past the time allowed: 10 minutes were requested. After 20 minutes, the performer had to be given a signal to stop and then continued past the signal.

What to expect
I put on shows tuned to the audience I performed for. I can go from a church podium to a corporate event to a all out adult club. I can do clean,gospel,and adult comedy. Mixed crowd or all white,black . I do not pick on audience members . My show is 30% based on comparison of the races and how funny we all are. I have always been asked back after all performances I have ever done.
