I am a ventriloquist, puppeteer, storyteller and balloon artist. I do shows for all ages. I perform for libraries, elementary schools, picnics, business banquets, grand openings, birthday parties, corporate shows and special deliveries. I do 7-8 minute Singing Telegrams within a 25 mile radius of Knoxville for a personal visit. Other shows available 1000 miles radius of Knoxville, TN. There are some events that I do not book long distances simply because the market value is not practical to do so, unless I happen to be in the area with larger events already booked. Contact me for free quotes.
We hired for a singing telegram, but he added much more than just one song. It was a small skit with song and had everybody laughing. We will definitely hire him again for our next party!

I love to see people have a good time and the special person to be honored have a great day as well. Ron Lighty
Ron did a wonderful job entertaining for my Dad’s 75th birthday. Unfortunately, the rest of the family could not be there due to the current social distancing recommendations so Ron’s show on their front lawn made for a very special & safe surprise! We are so grateful to Ron and his crew - they put on a wonderful show that will be remembered for years to come.
Response from JasonCompany:
I enjoy helping and being a blessing and encouragement to others.
Ron was extremely helpful, professional and fun. He pulled together a really great show for my Dad’s 75th birthday and it was a big hit. Ron really works hard to incorporate personal details into his show & he adapted the whole event so my older parents could safely enjoy a show during this time of social distancing. My family is very grateful to him.
Response from JasonCompany:
I really enjoy making events special for people.
It’s a blessing for me as well.
The perfect mother's day gift when we live out of state. You made her very happy. Her bible study group was also very entertained. We are waiting to see the video but got a picture of the flowers. They are fantastic. The perfect gift for someone who has everything and needs to feel a little love. Thank you again!
Response from JasonCompany:
My pleasure. Ron Lighty
Ron and Jason put on a wonderful show for my granddaughter's third birthday celebration. Well worth doing for a birthday party that will long be remembered.
Response from JasonCompany:
That 3year old girl was so sweet
When I wanted to do something extra special for Mothers Day for my mom in such a small town, I had no idea I would be lucky enough to find such a wonderful, fun, light-hearted, and quirky opportunity!
My mom’s been going through a lot this year, and lo and behold I found the perfect opportunity to make her smile again. Not only did she get serenaded by a professional ventriloquist, but also received a beautiful bouquet of balloon flowers in her favorite colors. When she called me in thanks it was the happiest I’ve heard from her in a long time!
The booking was incredibly easy thanks to the personal one-on-one call I received the morning after I reached out that I was interested made things incredibly simple. I was asked to provide specific details such as my mom’s favorite colors and types of music, what her name was, etc, and then got a very detailed idea of how to prepare for the surprise and what I was paying for.
They couldn’t have made it easier to book if they tried! I highly recommend this as a fantastic way to give them not just a gift but a memorable experience they won’t soon forget! Now my only problem is coming up with something next year to match this one and I’m not sure if I can! 10 stars out of 5 if I could. A wonderful, pleasant, memorable experience and a lot of fun.
Response from JasonCompany:
Glad it was a hit. I made some balloon twisted flowers for their sons girlfriend as well.
Photos from this event
This event was amazing. Worth every dime to see my grandmother smile like that. I have been telling all of my friends about this business. The gentleman was very nice and great to work with. Book him, you won’t regret it.
The show was great. Ron was on time and friendly and professional. Will hire him again.
Response from JasonCompany:
Thanks
Ron/Jason were very professional and accommodating to my schedule. Every effort was made to ensure that the event was personalized for everyone's enjoyment. Great job!
Response from JasonCompany:
It was fun. Ron and Jason
Great to work with and Awesome performance.
Response from JasonCompany:
Glad it was a success
Ron Lighty was at our library's Summer Reading Program and did a great job entertaining children and adults alike. The kids really liked the ventriloquist puppets and the build a wall relay.
Mr. Lighty went out of his way to make my husband's 50th Birthday Party a success! He called and talked to me so that he knew about my husband's interests to really personalize it. Mr. Lighty and Jason were so funny. He showed up at a restaurant and entertained everyone at my table who were of all ages.
Response from JasonCompany:
It is so much fun watching the reaction of the surprise not only of the face of the birthday person, but the joy and excitement of loved ones and friends who enjoyed
The moment. Ron and Jason
Mr Lighty DID bring the fun to our senior adult group at First Baptist Cleveland! He had us laugh until we cried with his good-clean humor. He had a gospel message at the end, which we always appreciate. He was enjoyed by all!!
Response from JasonCompany:
Praise the Lord Corinthians 10:31
Mr. Lighty came to our Summer Reading Program. Even though he was here to entertain the children, he entertained the adults too. Great Fun! Lots of laughs! Fun for everyone!
Response from JasonCompany:
Thanks, I am sure there will be many many pictures on the Libraries Facebook and in the newspaper. Ron Lighty
Ron came into our hair salon with one of his puppets to sing to one of our stylists for his birthday. It was a hoot, and he was a pleasure to do business with!
Response from JasonCompany:
Thanks
Great show. Very talented. Residents at nursing and rehab facility really enjoyed the show and appreciated that it was Christian based.
Response from JasonCompany:
Good to hear
We booked Ron for our son's6th birthday party. Just a small event....we all had a wonderful time. The kids really enjoyed the show. Ron gets the kids involved by having them participate with the puppets. Lol, he even got my brother up there and had us all laughing to tears!!! If you ever want to do something unique for anh kind of a party to get people laughing, I highly recommend Jason Company
Mr. Lighty and his puppets were a unique addition to our parents 50th anniversary party. Everyone enjoyed his clean brand of fun and humor. He included the guests of honor in his program which made it even more special.
I moved to Texas and I wanted to do something really special for my bestfriend's 24th birthday. This definitely caught her off guard! Ron was very accommodating. I got the idea about three days before her birthday and he worked with me to give my best friend a birthday greeting she never expected! I would definitely recommend him!
Response from JasonCompany:
It is always a joy to witness the surprise and excitement on the faces of all people present.
I live outside of Philadelphia, Pa and wanted to do something unique for my best friend's 40 th Birthday who lives in Knoxville, Pa. I found Jasoncompany online and gladly accepted! My friend was completely caught off guard when she answered the door! I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a truly unique way to say Happy Birthday to someone.
Our church family enjoyed the wonderful, Christ-centered program delivered by Mr. Ron Lighty with Jason & Company. His wife is precious too!
Response from JasonCompany:
To God be the glory and praise be to Jesus.
Ron provided a very entertaining program for our Summer Library Program. I think the adults enjoyed Jason as much as the children did! Very good program!
We booked "Ron Lighty" for our 2014 Summer Reading Program at The Graysville Public Library in Graysville Alabama in June of this year. What a pleasure he was. He brought along his little friend "Jimmy Basswood" and he was so funny. Looking out into the audience and seeing all the little boys & girls laughing was priceless. We wanted someone who could entertain the kids and Ron Lighty did just that. He is so enjoyable to just sit back and listen to. All the kids wanted a picture of themselves with Jimmy Basswood. Ron Lighty is also a great Balloon Artist. I made sure I filed all his Info. from this year because we want to have him back next year. I am so glad I ran up on his website. It's nice you can watch his Videos before even calling him. What you see on his website is what you get the day of your event. Thanks Again Ron for coming to Graysville Alabama.... Hope to see you next year. ....
We had Ron Lighty from JasonCompany to do our entertainment for our church. He is a ventriloquism
and did balloons. You will not find any nicer person.
His entertainment is clean and very funny. Thank you!
Ron, made a giant balloon pig that was one of the surprises I gave my wife on our 31st wedding anniversary. She likes pigs. When I turned the corner with it, you should have seen the look on her face. Complete puzzlement with complete joy! It is standing in our living room now. Ron says they last about as long as flowers. Ron was super kind enough to remind me and bring it to me at my place of employment. Excellent gift for anyone!
JasonCompany did an incredible job wishing my mom Happy Birthday! He was such a pleasure to work with and gave Mom a very unexpected and warmly welcomed surprise (she told me she wanted to burst with joy after JasonCompany's surprise visit to her high school classroom).
JasonCompany was very easy to get a hold of. He responded immediately to my emails and phone calls, and was very accommodating to our tight timeline and our logistically complicated situation... that went off without a hitch!
I highly recommend his services!!!
