Overview

​Timothy is passionate about sharing laughter with all ages. He is available for church events, youth camps, corporate meetings, family reunions, clogging emcee, calf roping announcer as well as chili cook-offs. Being an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran, Timothy is also a great choice as an inspirational speaker!

Smashing success!!

If you have not had the pleasure of seeing Timothy Banister perform you are missing out!! Not only is he a great clean comedian, he is a truly amazing family man! Everyone who got the chance to speak with Tim said the same thing, "he's just like a part of the family". We will definitely bring him back again!!

Awesome Entertainer

Tim was wonderful! It was all clean and respectful, and he drew the children in the audience into his realm, with jokes they could relate to. He personalized some of his jokes to our pastor and elders. He made even our stodgiest deacon chuckle and everyone else slap their knees and laugh out loud. I think I even heard a few guffaws! It was all clean and respectful. We all felt like he was one of church family. He was a great culmination to a busy week of activities, and we would love to have him back again!

Amazing Comedian!

Timothy was super easy to work with and very accommodating to all my needs in terms of content/time! His jokes were super funny and he did a great job of involving the entire audience throughout his set. Would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to everyone out there!

Just what our event needed!

Tim was great. If you want someone who is relatable, humble, and really funny, then he is your guy. I attended an event that he was a part of a few months back and was excited to have him share his comedy at our event. He connected really well with our group, which can be a challenge. (We don't call Lutherans the frozen chosen for nothing!) The length of his bit was perfect and fit the event perfectly. His comedy is clean, relatable, and funny. He hung out beforehand and had dinner with us, and chatted with folks afterward to follow up with those that he roped up into his jokes. A true class act.
