Superb talent, family-friendly and professional!

Kenneth organized AND performed a fabulous show for us out here in rural upstate NY. He was just great to work with - an excellent communicator, worked actively with us to plan and promote the event, and organized the other performers for us. But the best part was his performance. SIDE-SPLITTING HILARIOUS!! Family friendly and custom-tailored for our community. I couldn't recommend him more highly!!

A great time!

Kenneth and his team did a great job assuring that our corporate event would be fun and entertaining. Despite a power outage and being without AC in July, he and his team delivered a fun performance. Most of all, it was impressive how thoughtful Kenneth was in preparing for the show. He made sure that he understood our population and customized the content to fit accordingly!

Great performance!

Kenneth is a truly great comedian--sharp wit, plays the room, and has a calm, warm, endearing smile. I'm looking forward to seeing him perform again!

Elks Club Comedy Night

Would highly recommend Kenneth. He not only put on a great performance but helped guide us through setting up our first Comedy Night at the club by answering questions, providing advice, and making us feel at ease. Kenneth does his research and even included our organization in some of his material.

McGraw House, Senior Independent Living

Kenneth was a lot of fun and surprised us with bringing a comedienne with him. Our residents' age group is 62 years and older. Although he is much younger, I think he connected quite well with our group. He did the show "family-friendly" as I requested. We look forward to another performance after the winter holidays, something to chase the wither blues away.
