Response from Frank Vignola:
Thank you John. You have a wonderful family and you are truly a class act. Good luck at the tables this week, and remember, in Heaven the Rat Pack is always in Residency!
Best Always,
Frank
Frank was very good about reaching out and finding out info about my husband to roast him for his 50th bday party. Unfortunately the restaurant we were in was very loud with people and music, and Frank didn't have a mic so it was difficult for him. He had to raise his voice and go table to table. He made the best of it and was still able to work the crowd and they participated as well. Thanks Frank for all you did!
Frank was a huge hit with my crowd. Frank really took the time to get to know his audience through phone calls and email communication prior to the event. I would describe my crowd as conservative and Frank understood my concerns and ran his material by me to make sure there would not be any negative reactions for the performance. He was professional and even took a heartfelt moment to be serious about our company's mission and commended the hard work of our dedicated staff. He was both a joker and a show stealer. I would highly recommend him!
Response from Frank Vignola:
Thanks Darcy. I was honored to be part of your event. Not all corporate functions are as warm and heartfelt as was yours and I look forward to working with you all again!
If you want a great presence on stage and a performer, Frank is your man. Adapted with the audience and created a fantastic experience.
Response from Frank Vignola:

I organized a surprise 49th b party for my brother and I decided to add a comedian, I saw Frank on a Gig Salad and I saw some video of his stand up, was perfect funny and talented.
Frank was amazing, extremely funny, professional and very accommodating .
I 💯 will have Frank again for my next party.
Response from Frank Vignola:
Thanks Simona. Everybody couldn't have been more gracious and fun!
Frank was super on time, very prepared for a night of storytelling at our annual Halloween hunted house party in the upper east side.
He had a different tales to tell and the headless horseman was one of those.
Kids were engaged and so the adults.
Totally recommend him and will call him again.

Response from Frank Vignola:
Thanks Nicole! I had a great time, you have a lovely family and everybody couldn't have been nicer.
I hired Frank recently to do a Statement Arts fundraiser and on multiple occasions have asked him to perform for the Psychology of Humor class I teach at St. John's University as well as a variety of other gigs over the past few years. Frank is an ultra-talented writer and a superb performer. Combined with his other skills like crowd-work, his diverse range of material, and ability to connect with any audience, makes him the complete comedian, a great headliner capable of handling any gig. "Clean" gigs, church shows, corporate gigs, benefit shows, etc., whatever the situation, he brings his "A" game. I will without a doubt hire him again in the future and I give him 5 stars and my highest recommendation.
Response from Frank Vignola:
Thanks Wilson. Statement Arts is a worthy cause and working with you is always a blast!
I've used Frank for many situations through the years. Besides being one of the best comic minds around and a wonderful write/performer, he is versatile no matter the situation. I've used him to entertain/teach novices in standup, public speaking for corporate entertainment events. No matter what the room or the situation, Frank has the talent and experience to serve the audience. Whatever you goal is (motivational speaker, standup, corporate entertainment, etc.) you will have peace of mind knowing you choose Frank for the gig.
Response from Frank Vignola:
Thank you Chris! Your shows and workshops are both top notch and always a pleasure to participate in.
