We had a GREAT experience with Damon. I was looking for some entertainment for my wife's 40 year-old surprise birthday party. From the beginning he communicated well and responded to messages quickly. On the day of the event he showed up on time. He led out on some improv with our group....similar to "Whose line is it anyway?" Everyone had a blast. It was a great way to get our group of 30-50 year-olds involved and entertained. I would definitely book him again.
Response from Damon Sumner:
Chris! I appreciate your partnership. The event was a ton of fun! Hope you wife enjoyed it and thanks for letting me come and do some improv!
Damon Sumner cancelled his performance several weeks prior to the event.
Response from Damon Sumner:
I am quite disappointed with this rating. I had to cancel the event, 6 weeks prior to the gig, due to an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. I clearly communicated this; as well as, I recommended four fantastic comedians who would do a great job for Iris, that i personally know. I’m confident I was professional and clear with information during our time of communication.
Damon was quick to respond to our questions, talked to us prior to our event to find out what we expected and he arrived on time. Great entertainment!
Damon and his team of comedians were very funny and professional. Our audience enjoyed clean comedy and a fun night out! We look forward to working with Damon again soon.
Response from Damon Sumner:
Jennifer, thanks so much for having us! We had a ton of fun, even after the debacle of getting there. :)
Would love to get back and bring more laughs!!
Damon was my very first booking through Gigsalad and he did not disappoint! Let's start with the details that all of you want to know: 1. He was professional through the entire booking. 2. He showed up on time for the performance and was ready to go upon arrival. 3. HE IS HILARIOUS!
That would be the end of this review, but I think there are some more details we could share. We booked Damon for a 10th anniversary dinner reception. He took the time to review our website, get to know us and wrote a whole show about us and relationships! His delivery was on point, the comedy was perfect for the crowd. It was everything we requested and so much more! We couldn't have been more pleased with the performance!
If this is not enough to convince you to click: BOOK... we've had MULTIPLE people from our event request Damon's contact info. We've shared and look forward to booking him again! Hope to see you soon, Damon and thanks again for everything!
Damon provided solid comedic entertainment during an Employee Appreciation and Family Day Event. I really enjoyed the subject matter he covered which provided laughter for all age groups in attendance. If you're looking for a clean act with a slight edge, I highly recommend Damon for your next event. Looking forward to booking him again in the future.

Had very funny jokes and made you laugh with personal experiences.
Response from Damon Sumner:
Thanks for the opportunity to perform. Had a blast at the Jingle and Mingle!
This was the first time I had ever booked a comedian. I was in charge of my company Christmas party and wanted something different. I found Damon on a search for Christian/clean comedian. We exchanged many emails over the course of the booking. He was very responsive to all of my questions and was very flexible the night of the event. His humor brought many laughs and compliments execs and mechanics alike. The topics were relevant to all ages. "One of the best Christmas parties we've had" Thank you, Damon!
Response from Damon Sumner:
Thanks so much Karen! I had a blast. It was an honor to help bring some laughs to the good people of Genesis! Great work you all are doing!
Was a tough crowd but Damon did his best to get them going. Had a few laughter and the set was good. Enjoyed it especially when he talked about the couple who were married for 43 years.
Response from Damon Sumner:
Thanks for the great time!
Damon is an excellent communicator! He is interested in making sure that every event has a personal touch! He is in the details of every booking, and you will absolutely love his comedic genius!
Damon was hilarious! We had him come do a mix of improve and stand up at our church's friend day event, and he was perfect! He was prompt, as professional as you would expect a comedian to be, and FUNNY! We had a crowd of all ages and everyone loved it! I highly recommend Damon for ANY event!
Damon came to our home and performed for our annual Christmas Charity Event. I know that the basement of our home wasn't the typicial atmosphere for a comedy set but Damon jumped right in and entertained our guests with ease. He had everyone in tears laughing so hard. We'd strongly recommend booking him. I hope he doesn't forget about us when he blows all the way up :)
