Adam came to Affinity and made our residents roar with laughter! We appreciate his clean comedy with hilarious tie ins to the community. The next day residents kept coming to us to tell us how wonderful they thought he was. Adam is wonderful and we will be calling him again in the future! :)

I have had the pleasure of working with Adam Kessler on two separate events. First, as a speaker providing professional development for a conference. Adam also worked with my service club to organize a comedy benefit show. He both performed, as well as coordinated the recruitment of other talent for the show. Both events were great successes! In fact, my service club is planning on making the comedy benefit show an annual event. Adam is a funny, dynamic comedian. His clean comedy is refreshing.

Mr. Kessler was so funny!!! He was professional and communicated very clearly every step of the way. Our crowd LOVED his clean comedy show. He even gave out his joke books at the end of the show, they loved that too.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting Adam for a comedy night at Sage Brewing Co, and it was a resounding success! The energy in the room was electric, with the audience fully engaged and laughing throughout the entire set.
Adam delivered a stellar performance, seamlessly blending observational humor with audience interaction, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our guests left with smiles on their faces, and we received fantastic feedback about the event.
Hosting live comedy nights is a great way to bring the community together, and we couldn’t have asked for a better comedian to kick things off. We look forward to more events like this in the future and can't wait to welcome Adam back!

Adam performed for our company last Thursday and he did a phenomenal job. Leading up to the performance, he was very proactive and made the process of working with him very easy. On the day of the performance, he arrived early and was easy to work with during set up. His performance was great and encompassed everything we asked of him. He was able to personalize the show for our group and most importantly, he was extremely funny. His self-deprecating style of humor and his ability to interact with his audience and make jokes off the cuff just added to an already great show.

Had a Luau and Adam was the entertainment for the night. We had such a good time cutting up. Laughed so hard. I love how it was crowd lead. Was so cool!!
Comedy Show
Adam and his team were fun, light-hearted, and easy to work with. They brought all of their own sound equipment and even returned our taproom to its regular layout after the end of the show.
Comedian
Adam did a great job entertaining at our company Christmas party. He was so nice and professional throughout the whole experience. He made us all laugh a lot and was a great sport when a few inconsiderate people talked a bit during his act. We definitely recommend. Thanks, Adam!

Had very good clean jokes!! Everyone enjoyed it!!

Adam was attentive, communicated well, and made my job easy! My three-hour casino night of about 350 people ran smoothly because of Adam and his crew. I would hire Adam again and would recommend him to everyone for a fun casino night.

Adam was awesome. He headlined our comedy night and his routine was wonderful. I highly recommend him for a comedy night or a corporate event. Anyone looking for a comic Adam is your guy!!
Comedian
Adam was prompt in his replies when confirming dates. He should up early as to ensure he would be there in time since he was coming from out of town. One lady said “he tickled my funny bone” I highly recommend his act!
Comedy Show
Adam contacted me immediately upon submitting my request to gigland as did several other performers. While his fee was significantly higher than others, I felt there just had to be a reason there were so many amazing reviews compared to the other comedians on the site so I kept sending correspondences to challenge his commitment. I love details and since this was our first ever company event I didn’t want to take any chances.
Adam commuted from out of state on the day of the event and arrived exactly as he proposed he would.
Since no one in the company knew he was going to perform, he was able to mingle with the team and their spouses before hand to gather material and it was also obvious that he spent some time on our website getting to know a little of what we did as an organization because it was in his material.
The event was perfect.
Not only did Adam keep the room laughing, which in itself is hard because of our diverse group of team members, but he also hosted our awards ceremony on the fly, and did so extremely professionally.
100% recommend Adam to host your event.
Pay the fee, it’s worth knowing you’re getting a real professional so that you can sit back and enjoy the evening with your work family.
Thanks again Adam and we look forward to seeing you at next years 2nd annual company event.

What an awesome comedian and person
Stand-Up Comedian
I've been fortunate to attend one of Adam's shows on multiple occasions. Simply put, he's FUNNY! And his material is always fresh and relatable. He has also assisted one of the non-profit organizations I am involved in to coordinate an annual Comedy Benefit Show with multiple comedians. This was our 4th year (had to take a couple of year break due to the pandemic) and the most successful to date. I encourage anyone who is looking to hire a comedian, or a group of comedians, for an an event to consider Adam.

Adam was very easy to work with and, most importantly, very funny! Our residents loved his performance, which was our grand finale to National Assisted Living Week 2022. It has been a couple days, and I still have residents coming up to tell me how much they loved it. I highly recommend him!
Comedy Show
Adam put together an amazing trio of comedians who did three great stand up acts and improv for our group of about 60 women. Adam and his friends had a great ability to “play along” with our boisterous group making the night a lot of fun!

Adam was great!! Good jokes, great with the crowd and definitely recommend him for any gathering!!

Who doesn’t want a little fun after these past few years with COVID-19? I encourage you to break the norm with a corporate annual meeting and hire Adam Kissler. Adam provided clean jokes everyone could relate to and it made for a great event.

I was a bit hesitant setting up a comedian however this dude rocked it!
He was on time communicated his arrival to the area and then when he showed up to the even.
He even provided an opening act after we had adjusted our duration so it would just be Adam.
This was a welcomed surprise as we were originally wanting a longer act.
Hire Adam and HILARITY WILL CERTAINLY ENSUE!!!

Emcee
Adam was great during our company event. I told him that I wanted a clean comedy show But you could tote the line a little bit... now it's a little bit nervous giving him a little leeway but he executed this perfectly. None of the jokes were over the top or offensive.
But I really appreciate it was his comedy style where he takes relevant information and then interacts with the crowd through his effect of storytelling and one liners.
If you need a comedian for your corporate event or for a family reunion or anywhere where you need to have a clean comedy show with no further Adams or guy. We will be booking Adam in the future!
Corporate Comedian
Seen Adam @ Columbia Crest Winery and he kept us laughing the whole time. Would definitely go see him again !
Comedy Show
The residents really enjoyed Adams show. Good, clean fun!
Stand-Up Comedian
Adam, You are a funny guy but some our residents are just to old to understand a lot of your content. The giraffe was way over there head. A younger crowd would appreciate you more. Comments about building planes during WWII was a very important part of some of our residents lives, the fact that these housewives were hired by the military during war efforts made them just as much a veteran as their husbands that were serving. Not a good joke point. The pope was great but some of the others were out of their realm. Stories and jokes about families and tricks they play on each other when they had nothing would of been more in their scope of things. One guy told me that is cousin tied to cows tails together and they pulled so hard to get apart that one pulled the others tail right off. Just a thought for your next show. Thank you again.

Adam performed for our Holiday Party this year. He was funny and kept the crowds attention. It was one of our best Holiday Party's yet.

He watches a lot of stand-up comedy and can recite a joke he heard back in 1981 as if he heard it this morning. He has performed all over was the United States and Canada. Adam Kessler thinks that the world needs more laughter and he never gets tired of hearing, reading, or watching people tell jokes.

Reviews:
"Adam is real, and uses real life to bring people together for hilarious fun across industries. He can pick up nuances of a group last minute and incorporate that into his act. He is charming, down to earth and original. He is easy to work with and is very flexible with last minute complications. I highly recommend him for your small or large group gathering to lighten the mood and keep your audience engaged." -Alice Ray-Graham, President of the Oregon Collector Association

"Thank you Adam!!!!!! GREAT SHOW!!!" -Jack Didley's Comedy Club
"We brought Adam in to liven things up at a benefit concert. He was hilarious! Everyone had a great time. This was no easy task, since the crowd had adults and kids in attendance, but Adam even had the youngsters whooping it up! He also helped raise money for the cause." - Jason Ball
"Thank you for the show, it was great" -Ginie Meeks
"Adam, Everyone in our yacht club thought you were absolutely wonderful. Had a great time with your show, and your wide range of humor.

One last note from Adam...
If you provide me some background on your group I will write some jokes specifically for you to help make the show unique for your company. I've done comedy everywhere - comedy clubs, bars, boat docks, homeless shelters, in home birthday parties, camp sites, banquets, high school auditoriums, retirement homes, etc. Please go read the reviews on my website, watch my videos, check out my jokes and funny promo posters. Don't just hire a comedian because he or she is cheaper or has been on TV. Really look at who you're hiring and what people are saying about them and their show. Thank you for your time and thank you for thinking of hiring a comedian for your event!
