Dear Rosie and Kevin,
Thanks so much for this review. It was an honor to officiate your wedding. I wish you much happiness throughout your marriage.
Sincerely.
Pat
Pat did a great job especially since I had to ask him to hold back for a little while. Some if the fire fighters had went out on a house fire. He was very accommodating. Tough crowd to please after that, but he pushed on. So glad we hired him and I recommend him. Great guy
Comedian
Pat was early to the event. He was very nice person and had a very funny skit. I would recommend him anytime.
Comedian
It was a pleasure to work with Pat! He is very professional and welcomed information to customize his act to fit the audience of a Quality Compliance & Regulatory group. His attention to detail, willingness to tailor his humor (especially toward the boss) and improvise brought levity and laughter to a serious group. All at a reasonable rate too.

Pat was a true professional. I appreciate his attention to detail and willingness to tailor the act specifically for my mom on her 60th birthday.

Pat was hired as a Corporate Comedian for our Holiday Party. He was very personable and really did his research to get to our company and the area where we are from. Very funny and well done! Definitely recommend him if you are looking for a comedian for your next event!

Pat was so on top of things and helped make our wedding day a success! He took care of the license and made the ceremony so beautiful! I couldn’t thank you enough pat!
Wedding Officiant
Everyone enjoyed his performance and we would definitely have him entertain our group again.
Stand-Up Comedian
Pat went above and beyond to know our crowd. Unfortunately our guests were too busy catching up after not seeing each other for 2 years that they couldn’t pay attention. Those who engaged with Pat had a great time!

First and foremost I wanted to say how beyond grateful My husband and I are to have found such an incredible Person to officiate our Wedding. Pat was extremely efficient from the moment we hired him. He reached out to me immediately and began to get to know who my husband and I were, not only individually but as a couple as well. Pat was very proactive as the months got closer, and always communicated with me. The thing I appreciated the most was his ability to officiate our ceremony in bilingual which he did beautifully! Pat was just so amazing to work with! He was beyond punctual on the Day of the wedding which meant alot to me. My family all loved him! The Ceremony was based on my Story with my Husband and Pat included our children which was very important to my husband and I. Words can't simply explain how blessed I was to have the honor of having Pat as our Wedding Officiant for we have found the right one! Thank you Pat for being you and for making our Wedding Day as Special as I could have imagined!

Oh, Jackeline, I've been laid up with a bad back, and this is the first time I've seen your lovely review. I cannot express my gratitude afor your generosity toward me. Thanks so much, and may God bless you & Christian and all your children throughout many years of happy marriage.
Sincerely,
Pat
p.s. I think we are now connected on Facebook, so I look forward to seeing updates on your family, and maybe you can come out to see me perform stand-up. ;-)
Pat arrived exactly on time and was greeted enthusiastically by twelve guests including my daughter who was not aware that this was going to happen ( it was her 60th birthday party). Pat's presentation were tastefully performed according to our agreements through several earlier conversations. He was quick enough to help us enjoy my dog's deciding to howl like a little wolf during his 'act', finally kicking the instigating toy away. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a pleasant connection and memorable event. Thanks Pat!
Stand-Up Comedian
Very professional. Class act. Pleasure to work with.

Pat did a great job officiating our wedding! The ceremony he composed was thoughtful, light-hearted, and unique. We received many comments from our guests on how nice it was. If you're looking for some levity at your event with someone who carries themselves with some gravitas, Pat's your man.
Thanks again!

Nick, thanks so much to you and Christina for your lovely review. I wish you much happiness throughout your married life.
All my best,

I hired Pat back in 2020 to join the B.Komplete Team as our in-house Comedian. Pat has always shown dedication and commitment to delivering funny and professional comedy shows for our corporate clients. Pat always does his research, and comes up with great custom jokes. Pat also aims to please and will do dress rehearsals and practice runs before each show. The great part is, we are doing all of the comedy shows virtually. This way, more employees can attend the shows. Pat is a wonderful comedian!

Response from Pat Rocchi:
Thanks so much, Beryl. It is my honor that you trust me with entertaining your clients. I promise to continue living up to that trust... and of course that happens because of your professional input and guidance to me.
Not everyday does a comedian get asked to officiate a wedding. With a little bit of hesitance and bewilderedness Pat set the stage and agreed. With humor and the upmost respect Pat delivered the most entertainingly hilarious event while keeping the amazing and sentimental touches that every wedding should have. Pat did an outstanding job and has still left my guests crying and laughing with joy. Pat was amazing to work with and onboard with every detail. Pat didn’t let us down in anyway. We continued on with an amazing experience and very special day.

Pat was very communicative over this app and text to coordinate his role as Emcee for our wedding. We had an unstructured ceremony and reception and Pat did the best he could to keep things rolling smoothly. Thanks for your help Pat.

Response from Pat Rocchi:
Thank you, Dianne. It was an honor to be part of your special day. I'm glad I could serve you.
Wayne's Closet Inc., is a Charity with Other Services that benefits Veterans, ALL First Responders & Their Families. Pat Rocchi (Rocky) entertained us all with his super funny comedy at our fundraiser held in Williamstown, N.J. on Friday, March 19, 2021. He did a fantastic job at making everyone laugh & had everyone's attention down to the last second of his performance. He also donated one of his books he has written for our raffle and personally autographed the book for the winner. He is reliable, professional, personable, & made sure he was satisfying to the persons booking him to all ages of our audience! It was a great pleasure & one in a life time opportunity to have met him & have him for our event. I highly recommend him & we will be booking him again in the near future. You should buy his book I am. Thank you from all of us at WAYNE'S CLOSET INC., PAT ROCCHI.

Pat performed a virtual comedy show for our charity. I cannot even express what an amazing success this was. I was nervous to host a virtual comedy show at first as I have never attended one. All apprehension was lost once Pat got on the zoom. I think everyone on the zoom call forgot they were in their own living rooms. Pat really transported us all to the comedy club. Aside from the show being hilarious, Pat was such a joy to work with prior to our event. He scheduled several calls with myself and other board members to get to know us and the audience better. He then tailored his set to the audience (which was very hard since we had such a wide range of registrants). He even took it upon himself to advertise our fundraiser on his own social channels so that our organization could raise more money. Hire Pat - you won't be disappointed!

Pat was hilarious and very professional all through out. I highly recommend him .

I wanted to do something different for my client. They had been having zoom happy hour meetings which had become a little tiresome. Enter comedian Pat Rocchi. I had seen his act in the comedy clubs and thought he was hysterical. So, I reached out and to my surprise I was able to book Pat for my clients zoom happy hour. It went great! Pat even took the time to learn about the company and the people on the call. He made it part of his act. I was thrilled and even better, so was my client. I would highly recommend comedian Pat Rocchi for you next zoom meeting, event or conference.

He is smart, articulate, seemingly cranky, but best of all, screamingly funny.
