John
Jackshaw shows that rare potential of a comic who understands the possibilities
of translating reality into solid material and laughs.
Steve B. Young-political editor of National Lampoon
His slanted view of the world
has audiences coming back again and again I guarantee you that John Jackshaw
will move your audience in ways that will remind you of days gone by when
the comedian came out and simply ‘had his way’ with the room.

John was a trooper! After getting stuck in traffic, he came in and did a great job and made the crowd laugh. It was a good clean show.

Mr. John Jackshaw,
My Unit has asked me to reiterate how much they enjoyed your performance on 1 October 2009 for the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, “He was great and captured the attention of the crowd. My staff appreciated him. He did a great job.”
Area Manager for Houston Central Field Office Arnold Gamez.
“I would schedule him for an event in the future. I think he is courageous.”
Catherine Guillory
The feedback from our counselors was overwhelming with positive laughter. To keep us entertained for an hour was truly a professional act. Your insight in everyday living and being able to laugh about our wonderful life made us shake our heads with agreement. We will give your website to our other DARS regions with the “2-thumbs Up” for great entertainment.

True to John Jackshaw’s convoluted form, "My Blind Spot; What I Hear Is Funnier than What You See" is his first published volume, while being the second in a book series. John’s favorite position is the juxtaposition, and MY BLIND SPOT (MBS) is that sweet spot of outrageous humor, juxtapositioned somewhere between Garrison Keillor, Dave Berry, and Detroit.
“My Blind Spot” is a logical progression from John Jackshaw’s illogical broadcasting career, which ultimately transmitted him to success on the live standup comedy stage. Standup demands a flurry of punch lines, rapid-fire laughs confined to a finite measure of time. MBS is Mr. Jackshaw’s vehicle (there’s the Detroit connection.) that drives you beyond the punch, with true story telling and opinion liberated from time constraints and translated from stage to page. He makes the journey as much fun as getting to the destination.

acknowledgement:
John,
I want to thank you for the great comedy act you presented to my SBB graduation class. Everyone I have talked to said they enjoyed the comedy. They felt your comedy was just right for a mixed audience. I liked that you included the graduates and other people in your presentation.
Thanks again for making this function enjoyable and memorable.

We were fortunate that John was available to perform for our annual office Christmas Party at Gaido's in Galveston. He was perfect for our ophthalmology clinic of about 30 people, primarily female. He balances his topical humor with just the right amount of edgy and narrative humor to make for a perfect show. He even brings in some of his blind jokes and experiences which was perfect for our group. Highly recommended for a change of pace from the usual comedian. . Thanks for coming, Allan H. Fradkin, MD, The Eye Clinic of Texas.
John,
It was a pleasure meeting you. We all enjoyed your show very much, and I appreciate your magnificent effort and hard work at a difficult profession.

John was very accommodating to our needs. His show was excellent and our attendees were laughing all evening. His show was professionally done and all attendees said they would like to hear him perform again. He is a comedian of the highest caliber and I would highly recommend him to perform for other groups.
