October 2, 2026Senior Living Engagement
I hired Ed to perform at an appreciation event for our residents in a senior living community and it was not what I expected. Ed brought along a special guest, Harry, who took over most of the show and was not appropriate for our audience. We were looking forward to hearing more of Ed's performance; he did a game show with prunes which the residents did enjoy. If we had just Ed, this review may have been different.

Funny and engaging, Ed is a down to earth comedian who really connects with his audience. Mixing jokes and stories, he has a natural connection with people. A great evening of comedy with friends.

I saw Ed at the Laugh Factory, and he had the whole room laughing from start to finish. His delivery is effortless, and his jokes feel like stories you’d hear from a hilarious friend at a bar except way sharper and perfectly timed. He has a great mix of observational humor and personal stories, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys being on stage. Something I was surprised by was how naturally he interacted with the crowd. A lot of comics I’ve seen try too hard with audience work, but Ed makes it feel completely organic, like he’s just having a conversation. His bits about life in Chicago and getting older had everyone cracking up. My wife and I were talking about it for a week. I recommend you go see him if you have a chance.

I’ve been to about six shows now that Ed has been featured in. He’s incredibly talented, funny and always puts on a great show. If you’re looking for comedy you can relate to, he’s your guy! You won’t be disappointed.
