Eugene T. Barnes

Eugene was terrific! He made contact with every table at our event. Kept everyone entertained for nearly one hour.

Eugene was awesome. A true pleasure to work with.
He was extremely funny and did an amazing job

He was just perfect. Able to match the comedic styles of both kids (8 years or so) and adults (30-45 years).His jokes were clean with some subtile adult humor. Very very professional and ensures everyone had a great time! He went over and above by having an open Mike with kids at the end.

Hired Eugene for a corporate function. He was Amazing!! He was engaging and interactive. He had everyone laughing from beginning to end. The event was virtual and I didn't think it was possible but he did a fantastic job, I'd definitely recommend him!!

Excellent show. Really funny and I love the Baby Daddy joke.

Eugene was awesome! He showed up earlier than requested and came well prepared for the scene. I wasn’t able to give too many details prior to the shoot date so he didn’t find out about what the scene was until he got there. And yet he still was very professional and made any adjustments needed for the shots!! He was a natural! It was a pleasure working with you, Eugene! Thank you for being apart of my vision! Can’t wait to show you the final product!

Eugene came and did 20 minutes of comedy at my 60th birthday party. After the cocktail hour Eugene engaged the audience and interacted with almost every table He connected the dots from multiple areas of my life and everybody was in stitches with laughter. That was the intention—to have everyone start the evening with laughter and joy and memories. After dinner he helped entertain the crowd by reminding them of the steps to the wobble and other dances. Throughout the whole evening he kept the flow going so that the program ran very smoothly right down to the cutting of the cake. Just an overall joy to have him there. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to throw a party again without Eugene or somebody just like him to start it off with a bit of uproarious honest belly laughing!

Eugene was great and a lot of fun.Will definitely have him again. Thank You.

Eugene is HILARIOUS. He kills it every time I see him perform. He knows how to keep the energy going and smiles on everyone's faces. The best part about Eugene is that he's professional, thoughtful, and kind off stage, and that makes working with him so easy.

Hi Eugene,

What a wonderful at my baby shower! You are hysterical! I can't tell you how many people approached me to tell me they haven't laughed so hard and had such a good time in a long time. Thank you so much!! FYI do not roast the host, LOL. I would love to recommend your company to anyone who needs a catering service in the future. Please feel free to add my endorsement to any promotional materials you have in the future.

Thanks again!!!

Eugene helped my sisters fiancé plan such a special proposal! He was early to set up, brought his own music and props, and played the role amazingly! Could not have asked for a nicer, more well prepared actor! We communicated for days beforehand and he ensured everything would go perfectly! It was the extra time and effort that Eugene put in that made the day so spectacular! Thank you Eugene for making this such an amazing event! Would highly recommend for any acting or comedian needs!!

It was so fun working with Eugene. He listened carefully to what we needed and did a great job with improvisation we required. Will hire again!

Poor preparation. Mispronounced well known names.
Did not read the script before the event.

Eugene was great!!! He was cool in keeping the vibe alive he blended with the crowd and made the teenagers join dances. I will surely hire him again or recommend him. Thank you!!!

Eugene Barnes was so funny! My friends and family wanted his info for future parties. Not only was he funny but he was very kind. He was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him.

Eugene is a very funny and talented Comedian who I've been honored to book for several events including my Wedding in September 2017 that had 150+ guests. He was very engaging with the crowd and attendees from the wedding still mention the wonderful job he did. I can't say it enough how funny he has been every time I've booked him and he has always been professional regardless of what type of event. I definitely plan to book him for future events

My first introduction to Eugene T. Barnes was on a TV show I produce called the Tnos comedy show. We booked Eugene for a six minute time slot and he killed it. So I approached him about me producing a 50 minute comedy special with him that will be released the winter of 2018 "Comedy with class". When I tell you people were crying tears falling down their faces it was magic Eugene T. Barnes is a comedic genius!!!

Eugene is a super funny guy with great positive energy. He is down to earth and has great jokes. I've seen him do great with comedy club audiences and at family shows with kids in the audience. He has great clean material and is a good guy.

I feel bad when I have to write a review like this but I need to let others know about my horrible experience. I hired Eugene and he contacted me the day before the party to learn about my husband. I told him it was his 50th Birthday. I mentioned personal things like “he is a doctor”, “he is super funny”, “he likes to prank people”, etc. I gave him lots of details for him to have enough material to work with and prepare himself for the party. I did mentioned though that my husband is short and I asked him not make any jokes about height bc my step son that is only 13 years old would be at the party and he has been very depressed bc he found out he is also going to be short and will have to give up some sports. With that said, the first thing Eugene says after introducing himself was “Happy Birthday Drew! I was talking to your wife on the phone and she said to me (Drew is very very short!)” People did not laugh. I was embarrassed bc it was like I was pointing out my husband’s imperfections to a stranger and this stranger was telling this in front of all of our friends and family. By the way, I love my husband being short or not! I only mentioned that to Eugene so he wouldn’t make jokes about it. I couldn’t believe that was happening! My husband looked at me disappointed. Then, he kept going on and on humiliating me that was hosting the party saying I went for the doctor’s money. He managed to call not only me but other doctor’s wives that were present gold diggers. He didn’t have a plan or some subjects for his jokes. He just picked on people and I’ve never felt so embarrassed in my whole entire life. I couldn’t sleep on that night. I cried in disbelief. Next day I received texts from some family members and one of them said: “You threw a great party. The food was amazing! The only downside was the comedian that was literally a jerk.” My husband did express to Eugene our disappointement as he was leaving the party. We still tipped him after what he did. He texted me on the next day apologizing and saying he didn’t mean to upset anyone. It was just more than that! He didn’t listen to my requests. I specifically asked him no jokes about height! I feel bad to leave this review bc I know people struggle in life and try to do side jobs to make ends meet but I can’t let other people have the same experience. This will be a horrible memory now in our lives instead of something fun. I guess you get what you pay for!

Energetic and definitely funny. Left without saying goodbye, missed on the tip.

I am thrilled to have booked Eugene for our office holiday party! I could tell from his videos that he had a great performance energy but at our event I was so impressed with how natural and comfortable he was with handling our diverse crowd and amazed with his off the cuff wit. In addition, he was so professional and flexible with our last minute booking and tech limitations. He is still the talk of the office and I'd recommend him for any event that required a host or a laugh. Thanks again, Eugene!

Eugene is top notch.
He read my script and me like a book.
He's just the greatness.

Eugene was very engaged with the audience. He included almost everyone in his performance. My guest loved him. I enjoyed him a lot myself.

Very funny,everyone was talking about the event the next day, nice job, definitely going to pass the word on
Love to have them back again,

Eugene was an absolute hit at our wedding. Even though our wedding was a small one with about 66 people, Eugene was able to get everyone engaged, got the crowd going and never allowed any lulls. He worked very well with the DJ we hired. Our review speaks for itself because by the end of the night all our guests raved about him. I would be happy to refer Eugene for anyone's wedding because he is an outstanding professional who listens to your requests because he wants to make your day special. He made everyone laugh and got people out of their seats. I can't give enough praise and I am very happy we made the decision to have Eugene MC our wedding. Thank you Eugene!

We had MR Barnes perform at our co-Ed baby shower . Very funny!! He didn't let any distractions phase him including crying babies and went with the flow - true professional. I would definitely hire him again.

Eugene Barnes
Perform at my All white 50th party.
He dI'd a GREAT!!! job. He engaged the crowd and had everyone laughing the whole half hour. VERY funny without foul language and degrading anyone. I would have him come do another event ANY TIME. GREAT JOB. 5 out 5 stars.

I just hired Eugene T. Barnes for my fiancés birthday party. It was a small gathering and Eugene came to entertain the group with a comedy routine. I spoke with him a few weeks before the party to give him some info about the birthday boy and he really incorporated everything and made it more personal. He did such a great job! I would totally recommend hiring Eugene for any party you may have!

funny dude

Up to this very moment I am being told by my wedding guest how awesome Eugene was. He is such a natural at what he does! He knew the right time to have high energy, Read the audience very well, and carried himself like her knew the bride and groom very well by his comments. He told the perfect amount of jokes, and most importantly he keep the night flowing. Prior to the wedding day Eugene made himself available to meet via Google hangout since the bride lived in Canada. He answered all our questions and did his homework thoroughly. Thanks Eugene, you helped make our wedding unforgettable!

Booked Eugene to warm up employees before an event. With little information he really got the audience involved, asking everyone questions, including people, and most importantly, making everyone laugh. He was a natural at reading the crowd's vibes and reacting to them, like kept going with jokes that people were enjoying. Everyone loved it. He did a fantastic job. Highly recommended.

Eugene T Barnes is fast becoming a NY/NJ icon. With his classic blazer and entertaining anecdotes about life around town, he will have you rolling on the floor in hysterics. His ability to laugh at himself and the world, without being mean or judgemental is a much needed quality in this day and age. He is true to himself and his followers. A comedian of the first class.

I follow Eugene T Barnes on Instagram and Facebook just to make it out for his shows!! This guy is a comical genius... from his stage presence to look to his stories and jokes, always has me rolling!! He is someone I know will make it far and love bringing friends to!!

Eugene is a phenomenal both as a performer and writer. He is witty and plays well with others in off the cuff spots. He makes every day life hilarious and brings a smile to your face.

Eugene is one of the funniest comedians I have seen/ heard! And I really appreciate that his humor is clean! He is an awesome comedian! Can't wait to see him again!

Super hilarious, animated, and comical!!!!
