We hired Team Us to perform at a 50th birthday party. They came highly recommended from a very well known comedy troupe in California. Vik was so attentive and accommodating in both planning and the night of. Both him and Tyler were hilarious but more importantly they understood our crowd. Everyone loved them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great laugh. Not only did each do a set they also customized a roast for the birthday boy, which was above and beyond what anyone could ask for. Thank you so much guys for making our event memorable!

Thank you Sona, your husband has a fantastic sense of humor!
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.

Response from Vik Pandya:
Thanks Billy, you guys put on an awesome event I was happy to help out!
Thank you Vik, Tyler Fowler, and Paul Farahvar for an awesome event!
Vik was very communicative and professional through the entire process. He gave advice about the show's length the number of comedians, and other details which made the show go off without a hitch. He also curated two other very funny comedians which were both great and provided our team with a much needed fun "night out". All comedian's stayed with the parameters given and did a great job interacting with and building off of us as the crowd.
Would definitely make the same decision to hire Vik again!

Thanks Priscilla, such a fun group!
We hired Vik to come talk to a room of high school students about his life as a stand-up comedian. He was terrific -- he came and shared a few bits, then explained the process of writing jokes and building a set. Where he really shined was interacting with our students -- he answered many questions with wit and specificity. Added bonus -- he can work clean, though I have no doubt he's hilarious if he's free of the restrictions of public school censorship. Highly recommend him for any event -- he is a professional, and he can adapt his routine for any audience.
