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!

Drew Carey opened for Chuck.)
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.
