He told me that he wasn't R rated which was good to know for our audience. He wasn't G rated either which kept the jokes lively but not raunchy." Valerie F "John was terrific. Really engaging and hysterical. Couldn’t have been happier." Gary N "We had John entertain a group of 120 technology folks at a Catholic conference. Knowing the demographics and topics that may cause unease, John did a fantastic job of being extremely funny while cautiously testing the boundaries to see what type of comedy would be embraced vs head tilting."

John was great about responding to all messages, showed up early, and put on a great show. We had 2 shows in 1 night, and both sold out. This was for our clubhouse in our subdivision. Everyone had a great time.

As a young distillery embarking on some outside events in rural Leesville SC, we brought John McClellan out for a live comedy show. He did not disappoint! Our guests enjoyed his wit, his storytelling and his sense of humor. Being new to hosting live comedy, he coached us to ensure it was a successful event. We will definitely have him back. Thank you John!

John was a pleasure to work with even though we were only able to do the preliminary work to set up the event. He responded to my inquiries and returned phone calls quickly. I would definitely reconsider hiring him for personal events.
