I hired Vik for my husband's 40th birthday party, and he absolutely crushed it! From start to finish, he had everyone laughing nonstop. His roasting of my husband was spot-on – playful, clever, and just the right balance of humor without going overboard. What really stood out was how quick Vik was to read the crowd. He made on the spot jokes about Bosnians and their humor, and it had everyone in stitches! He truly knew how to connect with the audience and keep the energy high throughout the night. Everyone kept telling me how much they enjoyed the entertainment, and my husband couldn’t stop talking about how fun it was. Vik truly made the party unforgettable. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a comedian to liven up any event!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Vik for our event, and he exceeded all expectations! From the start, communication was fantastic—prompt, professional, and easy to work with. On the day of the event, Vik read the crowd perfectly, delivering humor that had everyone laughing from start to finish. His ability to adjust to the audience’s vibe and engage with them made the performance even more special. If you’re looking for a comedian who can bring energy, fun, and tons of laughter, Vik is the one to book!
