Comedy Show, Stand-Up Comedian
We had Vik perform for our son's High School Grad party. Vik was great to work with. He was on time as promised and captivated the audience's attention very easily and engaged them in funny satirical humor, he even customized a few jokes specific to my Son. Our friends thoroughly enjoyed the show.
