Had a birthday party with roughly 40 people.
Jerrold made the event!
He was crazy funny, involved everyone, had us in tears from laughing so hard.
There was a lot of love in the room.
Next we want to take him with us on a guys' trip.
Jerrold is a warm, wonderful human being with a top, top shelf comic's eye.
Any event will be better, much better, with Jerrold a part of it.
Wish I could him a sixth star.
Jerrold was hysterical. He had our crowd laughing so much. I would definitely hire him again.
Jerrold was fantastic he showed up as we agree and did exactly what I asked him. The guests were really surprise when I actually introduce Jerrold as a comedian not someone I went to school with. Jerrold made it very entertaining and personable.
I would highly recommend Jerrold for an event.

Response from Jerrold Benford:
Thank you guys! Had a great time and hope to perform for you guys again!
In December JB was at the Joe Yuskaitis fundraiser for a motorcyclist in NJ who had just gone through a horrific life altering accident. Jerrold was the headliner of a very formidable 3 mab crew and he blew up the room. He work an older gentleman and his wife on and off only to find out at the end of his routine it was the DAMN MAYOR!!! I HOPE to see Jerrold again in the very near future. Edgy, classy and hysterical!!!
Mr. Benford was Amazing.
He had then entire party in stitches. He made the party one that my family will be talking about for the rest of their lives .
My mother's favorite thing to do is laugh and he gave her exactly what I hoped for.
He went above and beyond and surpassed all expectations.
Iam glad we had opportunity before he is too big for private parties.
My family is still laughing and wondering about the cat
I used Jerrold to headline my Monthly Comedy show in Nov 2015. He had the crowd engaged during his entire set and is extremely likable! Great guy and a comedians comedian! Highly reccomend Jerrold for any type of show
All I can say is " fantastic "....
We had about 55 people , ranging in age from 10 years old to 75..
He kept the comedy PG 13 and was hilarious ...
We definitely had the ability to go rated R , but he kept it clean for the kids ...
Was awesome ...
It also didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes ..
Response from Jerrold Benford:
Thank you! I had a great time and you have an incredible family! Best wishes!
I have booked Jerrold Benford as both Feature and Headliner in several shows and the man has killed each time. He is a true professional on and off the stage. I can confidently affirm that this comic possesses the mad skills to take any comedy event to the next level.
I got to laugh my butt off watching jerold benford at a fundraiser for our local animal shelter in august. He brought me and the entire audience to tears with his jokes. He has incredibly high energy! He is very animated and fabulous. You will feel like you have known him for ever . He jokes about the things in your life that will make you say..how did he know that? Go go go to a jerold show u will be so happy you did!
I have hired Jerrold on a number of occasions to perform at my comedy shows and I regard him as one of the funniest comics I have met so far. He's great with the audience (the crowds love him) and he's extremely reliable when it comes to performance & arrival time. I never think twice about hiring him and I would highly recommend him to anyone else looking to hire a comic for an event.
Thank you so much for all the fun you bring to my shows Jerrold!
Then go see Jerrold. I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform several times and each and every time I know that I am going to laugh. His energy on stage + friendly personality + funny material = a good time! What are you waiting for? Go see him. This guy's going places.
I am a club manager,and Promoter, for Catch A Rising Star Comedy Clubs. Probably the biggest, and most recognized name in stand up comedy for over 40 years. I met Jerrold about a year ago and saw him perform and was amazed. I managed a club years ago in NY and recently returned to the business. When I saw Jerrold perform, it made me remember why I loved this business, and the reason I returned after many years. He's not only very talented as a comic but his attitude and personality make it a pleasure to work with him and host him at any of our clubs. Jerrold is real, and honest. His take on everyday life is not only funny but very real and true. This man is a talented comic, and can entertain audiences of a wide variety. He connects with the audience and knows how to make them have a good time.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jerrold perform at a local charity event in Westfield. It was a packed house and by the time his show was over, my stomach hurt from laughing! He has dynamic energy on stage and is outrageously funny! Hit up one of his shows, you won't be disappointed!
I've had the pleasure of working with Jerrold multiple times. He's is relatable no matter who you are or what your age is and he is hysterical. He's someone ur definitely going to want to see perform. He has a very original material that you will remember and talk about.
Mr. Benford was exactly what our meeting needed, laughter and a sense of welcome. enjoyable all around performance.would recommend this comic to any venue. Sent me into an asthma attack mild on but was worth it.

With me, you don't know what to expect! What I will say is expect the unexpected. I am intelligent when need be and a goofball the rest of the time. I'm animated and high-energy. I will give you my all and guarantee you enjoy my performance.
I started stand-up in January of 2006 and loved it ever since. I've performed in every possible scenario of this field, lol. From stadiums to basements with literally 6 people, I've adapted to all the challenges of performing and relating to various crowds. I've performed at Rascals, Carolines on Broadway, Stand Up NY, The Stand, Broadway Comedy Club, Eastville Comedy Club and a ton of others up and down the east coast. I love private events - birthdays and anniversaries where I get to make of/with the guests of honor.
All I need is a mic and sound system
