We 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.

Damon 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!
