Dante Powell

I’ve seen Dante in a small bar show, a festival tent, and opening for a national touring comic with multiple books and HBO specials, and he’s always funny. I’ve also been watching his standup for many years, and while the material has changed with his life, his voice and delivery have only grown stronger.

Dante headlined a don’t tell comedy show for me in 2023. He is an incredible performer, hilarious comic. He’s what you’d call a comics comic. He captivates the audience. Of course, I am having him come back to headline another show for me and hopefully more in the future.

I hired Dante to organize a comedy show at my restaurant and entertainment venue. He knew the right comedians to contact and quoted me a reasonable all-inclusive price to organize the event and pay the talent. Dante created social media content, marketed, and promoted the show ahead of time and really took a personal interest in its success. The show was a sellout and everyone in attendance had a great time. The host he selected did a great job. His second act was hilarious. Dante, himself, was the headliner and had the crowd laughing and engaged. His style of comedy would have been appropriate for any venue, nothing demeaning to the crowd or more risqué than PG-13 but still really funny. He was easy to work with, did not make any promises he did not keep, and followed thorough with everything on his end. Without a doubt, I would hire him again to put on another show at anyplace I was managing or just hire him as a comedian by himself because he's a funny guy.

Saw Dante at a local show in Baton Rouge. While the other comics were very funny, Dante blew them away. Very sharp witty joke delivered with great timing. On point up to topics. Will see him anytime he is near our city. Plus his comedy release CD was great and in a good rotation on my Playlist.

I've booked Dante for 5 different shows (so far) and he is outstanding in all areas. He's professional, great communication, punctual, and most importantly, he's funny as hell and so quick witted. Book him, book him, book him.
