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.  I appreciated that you came early and got to know the group for the “presentation.”  By coming early I never had time to worry if you were going to make it and we were able to figure out where things should be without interrupting anything. 

Thanks again for making this function enjoyable and memorable.

Mr. John Jackshaw,
My Unit has asked me to reiterated how much they enjoyed your performance on 1 October 2009 for the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, Houston Region.
 
“He was great and captured the attention of the crowd. My staff appreciated him. He did a great job. I was very pleased”.
Thanks, Area Manager for Houston Central Field Office Arnold G.

“I would schedule him for an event in the future. I think he is courageous.”  Catherine G.

The feedback from our counselors was overwhelming with positive laughter.  They know how difficult it is just trying to tell one or two jokes in a row, but 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 DRS regions with the “2-thumbs Up” for great entertainment.

I hired John Jackshaw for a birthday party and he performed excellently. He was able to reach everyone in the audience with his humor, which was a mixed crowd of adults & children. He presented himself with utmost professionalism and everyone enjoyed the show. Thank you John!

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.

John was a trooper! After getting stuck in traffic, not being able to reach me by phone, he came in and did a great job and made the crowd laugh. It was a good clean show and he was a very nice guy.

John was very clean in his material which of course was a must for a church group. I would recommend John for any venue that wished to have a comedy show with a clean appeal.

I've spent most of my career dealing with so many facets of comedy including owning a number of comedy clubs, booking the likes of Leno, Seinfeld, Murphy, and Romano. John Jackshaw shows that rare potential of a comic who understands the possibilities of translating reality into solid material and laughs. John's insight reaches far beyond his blindness, disarming all preconceptions of a disability, while instantly connecting and creating a comfort level with his audience in which his blindness is overshadowed by his sharp wit. As an award-winning TV writer and resident political editor of National Lampoon, it's difficult to ignore John's willingness to risk originality, while still having a real understanding of comedic construction. Ironically, booking John Jackshaw is no risk at all. So...book the guy!

John, Thank you for a great show and headlining our Singles event at SOLO LIVE. I appreciate so much your clean, witty comedy and the presentation was great. I would highly recommend you in the future at any comedy event. I appreciate your consideration of entertaining delivery and am grateful for the time you spent with us. Thanks again.

Sandra Womack, Director Solo Live

In 30 years I have never met a man like John Jackshaw. I am an entertainment publicist and television producer. I travel extensively and have represented numerous actors, comedians and entertainers. John has a special and deep perception of a world he cannot see. He is a natural, with a keen sense of understanding of the human spirit, knowing that which moves us and brings us to laughter. He also knows how to bring a tear, as his audiences regularly discover as they laugh until they cry. His slanted view of the world has audiences coming back again and again I guarantee you that John 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 Jackshaw is what we in the comedy biz call a natural. After easily transitioning from radio to the comedy stage, John quickly found himself a paid professional booked at Houston's Laff Spot Comedy Club (where he shows up often). John can be found working clubs, coffeehouses, corporate events and other venues, all over Houston and beyond. John is a prolific writer, coming up with new, hilarious material every time we work together. Though visually impaired, John's observations will leave you in stitches. Do yourself a favor, book John or catch his show while he's still affordable; this comic is definitely on the way up!

John Jackshaw performed a comedy routine for the annual Phi Sigma Alpha convention banquet. We greatly enjoyed his performance and were especially impressed that his was indeed a "clean" comedy routine. I highly recommend john. He was truly professional, easy to work with and very funny.
