October 21, 2019Best ever!
I had a big birthday party with 5 different acts. Linda's act was so spot on and personal that it just shook
the house down. She is a pure professional and the audience loved getting involved and she stayed around after and got her picture taken with each table....
Book her far enough in advance ....she is that good!

April 23, 2023Linda brought Joan Rivers back for one night!
Linda was absolutely amazing - everything we could have wanted and more! She did Joan Rivers proud. She took personal information and incorporated it into her extremely entertaining set and had the crowd in stitches. She was kind enough to stay with us for pictures and to share some anecdotes from her amazing life. Thanks again, we will cherish the memories from this evening forever!

October 5, 2014Great Show!
We got many compliments on Linda's performance. A lot of guests had to take a double take when meeting Linda on the red carpet. They thought they were seeing Joan Rivers. Linda's show was hilarious, contemporary and tailored to our audience. Thanks to Linda for making our party a great success.

Testimonials
Your Nissan commercials as Joan Rivers are wonderful. You did a great job!! Kirk Donovan, Kirk Donovan Enterprises
– Kirk Donovan
Linda Axelrod as Joan Rivers was the highlight of our conference’s comedy night. Over 2000 of my people were rolling in the aisles non-stop for 50 minutes. She looked exactly like Joan, sounded exactly like Joan and her mannerisms, timing and phrasing of the jokes was flawless. The material was also extremely current and we were pleasantly surprised by the tailoring of numerous segments of the routine to our group and the kind of work they do. Linda obviously did her homework on my group of health care professionals which included physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and sleep technologists. Those tailored jokes were also excellent and when her show ended 2000+ people were on their feet, asking for more. Bob Miglino – Meeting Planner Annual FOCUS Medical Conference

“Linda is a FABULOUS Joan Rivers”. She filmed several skits for our company and not only was Linda comfortable with the scripts but added some hilarious ad-libs. Some of our viewers thought we got the real Joan Rivers. Genuine entertainer. Linda is the best Joan EVER. I would definitely work with Linda again!”
