What does Damon Sumner do? Simply: He puts smiles on people's faces.
It brings him great joy to find a common thread amongst a group of people, in one room, and find a unique way to bring them all together.
Damon takes the mundane and irrelevant thoughts of everyday life and brings those thoughts, that everyone thinks, to the stage! He is not afraid to talk about the issues folks are whispering about at the water cooler or venting about, over some wine with their spouse.
Damon creates an atmosphere for everyone to feel welcome, safe and relaxed. His comedy reaches all ages and people of all backgrounds. What does Damon Sumner do? He puts smiles on people's faces.

August 28, 2018We had a GREAT experience with Damon. I was looking for some entertainment for my wife's 40 year-old surprise birthday party. From the beginning he communicated well and responded to messages quickly. On the day of the event he showed up on time. He led out on some improv with our group....similar to "Whose line is it anyway?" Everyone had a blast. It was a great way to get our group of 30-50 year-olds involved and entertained. I would definitely book him again.

I am quite disappointed with this rating. I had to cancel the event, 6 weeks prior to the gig, due to an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. I clearly communicated this; as well as, I recommended four fantastic comedians who would do a great job for Iris, that i personally know. I’m confident I was professional and clear with information during our time of communication.

February 2, 2018Damon was my very first booking through Gigsalad and he did not disappoint! Let's start with the details that all of you want to know: 1. He was professional through the entire booking. 2. He showed up on time for the performance and was ready to go upon arrival. 3. HE IS HILARIOUS!
That would be the end of this review, but I think there are some more details we could share. We booked Damon for a 10th anniversary dinner reception. He took the time to review our website, get to know us and wrote a whole show about us and relationships! His delivery was on point, the comedy was perfect for the crowd. It was everything we requested and so much more! We couldn't have been more pleased with the performance!
If this is not enough to convince you to click: BOOK... we've had MULTIPLE people from our event request Damon's contact info. We've shared and look forward to booking him again! Hope to see you soon, Damon and thanks again for everything!

Damon has always loved comedy, even before he knew stand-up was his passion. He has been influenced by some of the greats, such as: Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart and Bill Burr.
Damon Sumner continues to learn from these icons and desires to deliver great material in his voice, one stage at a time.
