I was a disappointed in Allen's performance on July 1st 2016. It was my son's graduation party. He talked about Hollween and Valentine's Day which was totally irrelevent. It almost seemed like he was off and couldn't remember what he was talking about. It was nice meeting Allen and to learn about him. But, as far as the $400.00 worth of entertainment-I will never do that again! I really paid too much for a comedian that hardly got any laughs. If there was a way to get a refund I would-but, this was my loss-everyone takes a risk.
Response from Allen D.Edge, "The Edge of Sanity":
I am a little confused. Brenda indicated that she was satisfied to my face. That is why I encouraged her to submit a review. I hung around for about an hour afterward and her brother and other relatives came over to tell me how much they enjoyed my act, especially because it was totally clean.
It sounds as if Brenda wanted more of a tribute/roast to her son and was therefore disappointed when I didn't spend much time on him.
Also, many of the people there were friends and relatives who were there to enjoy talking and being with each other. 45mins. of Stand-Up comedy may not have been the best fit for this type of event. I regret Brenda's disappointment, but like I said I received positive responses from people in her party.
