Clean act and engaged audience

Jim kept his act clean (not all "clean acts" seem to do that) and engaged the audience, which always goes over well. Very respectful and patient with guests following his show. I think he was worth his fee...I don't feel that has always been the case with comedians I've hired in the past.

Hired as: Christian Comedian

Jim McCue good naturedly takes you on, one at a time with his whip-like wise cracks”– Las Vegas Tribune

“McCue’s performance was Monty Python-esque” -The Boston Herald

“McCue’s wit and timing are akin to those of one-liner king Henny Youngman – Montreal Gazette

“It was great to see [Jim] do a set…. hilarious!” – Marybeth Fox, CBS Primetime Casting

“The front line in a combat situation refers to where the action is. Anyone sitting near the stage during Jim McCue’s comedy show will feel like they are on the front line by the time the jokes stop flying in their direction.” – Stars and Stripes (Independent U.S. Military news from Iraq)
