I've seen Longhorn perform several times the last couple years in Quincy, IL. The last show was January 12, 2023 and it was great as always. He never disappoints!!
I’ve performed with Longhorn multiple times. He always rocks the house any time he performs. He is absolutely someone you want to book for a comedy show!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Kind Sir!!! You are an awesome comic yourself.
Longhorn did a great show for our fundraiser event, but it was so much more than just his comedy. Yes, he was funny and the audience loved his humor and jokes, but it was also his heart for our Veterans that captured our crowd. The event was a comedy night fundraiser to support Veterans Community Project-STL. I completely surprised him when I was given some home made baked goods to auction off, well Longhorn knew exactly what to do and helped auction off the items to raise even more money. We felt he did such a great job, we are having him again for our next event. Thank you Longhorn!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you! Looking forward to next year!!!
I met Longhorn at a bar in Nashville. It was hosting a comedy open mic and we got to chatting at the bar. I asked if he was going up and he said no, he was just checking out some local talent. But at the end of the night he jumped up and 5 minutes and they were, by far, the best 5 minutes of the night. He encouraged all the other comedians, he made us all laugh and he brought an energy into the room that hadn't been there before. I would absolutely see him perform again if I had the chance.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you my Canadian Buddy! Keep writing those great songs!
Funny as hell not many out there willing to make fun of everyone even themselves but he does and I love it!!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Love this and Thank You!!! I hope to make you laugh again soon.
The fact Longhorn The Comedian takes time to take all veterans really hit my heart. I had a blast at his Cape Girardeau show at Laughing Gas and would for sure go see him again
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Greatly for this Review!!!
One of the funniest comedians we’ve ever seen! Love him!!!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You for this Amazing Review!!!
We seen him in February in Union, MO. He did an amazing job and kept us laughing from start to finish. Would love to see him back as the headliner!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you very much!!! I look forward to coming back.
I have seen Longhorn a couple of times. Always a amazing show. He will have your stomach hurting by about half way thru the show from laughing. Very professional on stage and keeps you wanting more at the same time. If you haven’t seen his show yet, you truly are missing out on a wonderful show.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Kind Sir!
We’ve had the sincere pleasure of having Longhorn (Vernon Davis) as a guest on our radio show, as well as performing at an event we put on and I can honestly say that you won’t find a more professional, caring and positive performer for your event!
We spent 25 minutes with him during that interview, which was originally scheduled for just 10, (a link to the archive on our podcast follows, in case you want to listen)! He was that interesting and funny! [link to interview: https://spreaker.page.link/YToCR5G9frJXCfvZ8]
In February of 2022, he happened to stop in as a friend of one of the comics we had performing that night and we’d asked him if he’d go on for a short set and also talk about his charity, (see below). He did so and had the audience in absolute stitches for ten minutes before mentioning his charity! (I felt bad for the comic that had to follow him! Thankfully she was a friend of his and equally skilled!)
Beyond the stage, Longhorn has a charity that helps our returning vets cope with things like PTSD and depression — an honorable cause by a vet himself, who comes from a family with generations of veterans.
If you want a comic who will have your audience in stitches and who performs admirably in his life outside of the club, (which always reflects positively on the club/venue), you can’t go wrong with Longhorn! Highly recommended by Bill & Jim in the Morning and MIssouri Possum Radio!
We’re looking forward to having him headline an upcoming event for us!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
I am touched and without words. Thank you!
He appeared at the Be the Light Foundation comedy night fundraiser. He respected the event and at the same was hilarious! I would hire him again!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Kind Sir!!! Thank you for having me!
Great comedian, even greater event host, and even better human being!!! This was the third Longhorn The Comedian show I’ve got to go to and can’t wait to see him again!!!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Kind Sir!!!
Loved his humor and stories, and I love that he made my husband, a retired ARMY vet, feel appreciated and important ❤
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You!
I received a heartfelt Thank you from “Longhorn”. I was so moved by this simple act! What an amazing man! It was my pleasure to meet and talk him. Also a very funny man with his take on life.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir. It was my Honor and Privilege to Thank You For Your Service!!!
U really enjoyed the show, it was well put together and had a positive message. I would definitely go see his act again.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Kindly!!!
Love what he does for veterans. He has a unique stand up that was very entertaining. I've seen him twice.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!
Hi saw Longhorn in mid 2020 and had never seen him before. I found him extremely funny and witty combining excellent comedy and genuine worldly insights. He found time to honor all military vets in a unique way and made the entire night very enjoyable. Thanks for the laughs!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!
I have seen him several times now! Longhorn always gives everything he has and he is one of the nicest comedian's i have met
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!!!
In the middle of a pandemic and Longhorn puts on his American Flag mask and performs LIVE for a charity event! Also took the time to personally thank veterans at the event during the show! The crowd was spread through the outdoor venue social distancing as Longhorn slung jokes throughout the night! We had a great time!!! Can’t even express how much Longhorn put this event over the top!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!
Longhorn made people smile and laugh with his real-life humor last night! He combined humor with a message of hope and kindness for others which was refreshing. It was an honor to have him join us to raise money to help homeless veterans and we would definitely have him back! Thank you Longhorn for making a difference!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
My Honor and Privilege to be of service
I saw Longhorn in Kansas City in June 2020. During the COVID situation. He is absolutely the BEST medicine for what ails us.
He is not just hahaha funny. He is snort, cry, and dribble tears down the leg hilarious. I thought my husband was going to have a heart attack from laughing so hard.
Not only is he a fantastic comedian but he also has a heart of gold glitter. He supports many Veteran causes and has his own to boot. Ask him how YOU can help him thank a Vet.
His shows are medicine for your soul.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you, I am near tears.
He was super friendly, exceptionally funny, would love to have him do other events in future.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Ms. Kay! Looking forward to the next time.
Longhorn is by far the real truth. Absolutely unbelievable. He did an amazing job making the Whole Crowd laugh. He was hilarious!!!! Very professional!!! He’s a Must see and we will be using him again. Thanks, Vernon Longhorn, for making my mom’s Birthday party a success.
Saw Longhorn at a benefit comedy show. He was excellent! I’ve actually seen him twice and would go back again and again. Great humor and a big heart. Can’t go wrong with a show that includes Longhorn!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Kindly!!!
Saw him preform in Jefferson City at our Chiefs Association dinner, does a Great show! Haven’t laughed that much in a long time! Definitely will see again. The date is not correct, as I don’t remember the exact day.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!!!
I watched Longhorn perform when he came to Boonville,IN. He was hilarious on stage and was a incredibly nice guy! He was so nice and professional to the host and venue!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Kindly!!!!
One of the beat openers, I have ever seen. You also have to love to commitment to veterans.
Longhorn did an amazing job handling a rowdy crowd. He was funny through the whole set. My wife and I were crying with laughter. Laughter doesn’t know color. Jokes hit home for even this civilian. Looking forward to see him on more shows.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank Sir! I really appreciate this!
Saw part of show in Taylor Springs, IL. Loved it, laughed the whole time!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you!
Saw his performance in 2018. Very good show & kept the audience engaged! Very funny show. Enjoyed the entire evening. Would pay to see him again.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you for the kind words.
Words cannot express how much the Student veterans of ST. Bonaventure University appreciate Mr. Longhorn Davis. Longhorn volunteered his time to headline our Veterans fundraiser that raised over $6000 to help send veterans attending college to a Welness Pilgrimage in Assisi Italy. Mr. Davis recognized vietnam veterans and brought them up on stage recognizing them with a token of his appreciation. He also gifted two disabled veterans with a American Flag lap blanket. Longhorn was able to keep the laughter in the audience even when the recognition to our veterans became emotional. We will be inviting Mr. Davis to not only perform again next year but to be our honored guest speaker for our universities veterans day ceremony.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Top!
Longhorn performed at a veteran event and brought the house down with veteran humor and current events. Kept everyone involved and didn’t hold back. Can’t wait to see him again.
I have hired Longhorn for the past 8 years. I have hired him as a Comedian and as an Emcee. He has always shown up early and was ready to hit the stage when it was his time. He has always been very entertaining for the fans that come to see him.
Vernon is always great with the fans. I loves to go around the room before and after the show letting everyone get a picture with him or just say Hi.
I already have Vernon locked in for 2 different events again in 2019.
I have seen a tremendous amount of stage comedy in my 48 years of life and I have to say that longhorn is one of the top if not thee top opening acts I have ever seen.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir! That is a great compliment!
I’ve seen a lot of comedians over the years and a few famous ones also, and all I can say is Longhorn is by far the funniest I have seen. He will have you in tears laughing so hard by the end of his set.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!! I hope to return soon.
Take the time to enjoy an evening watching this man perform! Especially if you’re a veteran! It’s more than a comedy show.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!!! I hope to be back in you area again soon!
We booked longhorn the Comedian for our comedy shows at Jefferson City, Mo. A very good performer
Longhorn immediately had the place roaring with laughter. Not only is he funny, but he has a great heart that shines through in his dedication to our veterans & military.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Ma'am!
Don’t let the hat and boots fool you, this guy will make you laugh! He also does an outstanding job of recognizing our Veterans!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!
I love the show and how you changed up on the material!
Longhorn is an amazing comedian, with an amazing family background. He's well worth the time, money, and road trip to see. I try to get to his show anytime he is near me and works with my work schedule. I've seen him perform more times than I can count on my fingers and toes.
Jokes that a wide variety of people will like. Not mean-spirited, but still hilarious.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you very much!!!
Long horn has a Great show really great guy funny as hell
Longhorn, Vernon or Coach as I call him performed for my family and close friends at a very small function (invitation only) with very little notice. I called Coach out of the blue, after not seeing each other for many years and told him a young man we both knew was being laid to rest and I needed someone to liven up the crowd. His reply was "when coach? I need to prepare!'
That call took placed on a Friday morning. Sunday evening after a regular gig, Long Horn showed up. Not Vernon or Coach but Longhorn. He helped the crowd experience many emotions that night. We cried, we reminisced and we laughed, Oh did we laugh. Long Horn found the funny part of everything we were experiencing that day and made us realize life was short, grab the moment and seize the day.
Coach, thanks for helping myself and my family get through the worst day and the worst experience God could ever throw at us. Keep up the good work of making people laugh and helping fellow vets.
Your brother from a white mother
Coach Pope
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Coach. It was my honor and privilege.
Well done and supremely funny with a wide variety of witty and hilarious bits. Highest recommendation!
Very, very, funny comedian...of course but, also personable, caring, professional, compassionate and honorable. Fellow veteran. Will always be a fan. His style, both personally and professionally is one to be emulated.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you for your service and appreciation.
I went to see Longhorn, and laughed my beachside off! He was hilarious, and as a disabled Veteran I really appreciated his love of our country and our Vets. I can't wait to have the opportunity to see him again!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir! Thank You for Your Service! It was my honor and privilege to perform for you!
Upon my first visual perception, I was slightly thrown off. Being from the Midwest You Don't See proud black men wearing cowboy boots, and ten gallon hats. His hat was actually more like a three gallon but you get the point. One of the most refreshing things I saw was his ability to spontaneously involve anyone during real time into a comedic fall out of laughter. His comedy is not for a people of uneducated lack of understanding. This is a very proud man a veteran of the United States services, who blends inquisitivity with coherent, past and present situations. If I had to warn you about anything it would be that he is brutally honest about life, factual, but yet still human and understanding. You will laugh until you leave. Last but not least I wouldn't suggest you try heckling, or challenging anything he gives you without knowing a great deal more about the world we live in than he does!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Wow! I am indeed flattered and honored to receive such a great review! Greatly Appreciated!!!
I am a stand up comedian that has done shows with Longhorn on several different occasions. The man is a total professional to work with, and he knows how to deliver the goods on stage! Longhorn is versatile in the fact that he can get audiences laughing at comedy clubs, bars, or corporate events. If you hire Longhorn for your event, you will leave happy, and everyone will want to know how you found such a great comic!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!
Worked with him at this casino, and he rocked, as usual !
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Longhorn on many occasions and it has been an absolute pleasure to share the stage with him.
His ability to please any type of crowd, is a testament to the professional he is. Like he says, “Laughter Has No Color”. Watching him work makes us all step up our game and try and be better comedians ourselves.
Whether you are looking for a performer or someone to setup a show for you that caters to your specific needs. Longhorn is the total package to fit your needs.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!!
One of the finest comics I've ever seen. Always is able to connect with audiences and make that night an unforgettable experience.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!!
You will not be disappointed if you book Longhorn the Comedian.
I've featured for Longhorn twice. And each time, I was blown away. Side-splittingly funny, completely off the charts! I wish I could get as many applause breaks as this guy!
And not only is he a great comic - he's also a great human being. No ego whatsoever. A rare combination. I can't wait to work with him again.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!!
Saw Longhorn in Cape Girardeau MO a few years back. Smooth delivery, funny guy, a must see!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!! It ain't no fun without you guys laughing.
Longhorn is absolutely AMAZING! From my initial call to set-up the evening I knew I made the right choice in entertainment. Longhorn delivers the most unique caliber comedy which resonates from the big city to the heartland. Our company holiday party was one of the best ever with the addition of Longhorn's talents. I strongly suggest if you're going to organize a party for your company, you should start with booking this incredible entertainer. Your staff will consider you are rock star!
Thanks for everything Longhorn!!!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you kind Sir! I had a great time... Looking forward to seeing you again in 2016!
Hilarious guy
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!!
Longhorn was great! We enjoyed his set at the St. Louis Public Library for our entertainment concert series Contemporary Tuesday Nights. He is funny, sincere, and best of all, he is just being himself. I would highly recommend him for others to hire and would be glad to have him return as both an entertainer or as a host.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir, for the opportunity. Look forward to coming back.
I had the opportunity to perform with Longhorn and of all the comedians I've worked with, I was very impressed by his wit and his stage presence. Anyone that has an opportunity to book or watch him, should not let that opportunity pass them by.
Hands down one of the best comics I have ever had the opportunity to listen to and see in person.
I had the extreme privilege of performing with Longhorn at the KC Improv and he is an absolute riot! Very funny. Very professional. Book him often and watch your patrons line up around the block!
Longhorn was awesome. Really funny, couldn't stop laughing! Very generous to donate his time. You'll always be a favorite!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you very much. I hope to come back and do it again.
I saw Longhorn 9/13/14 in Carlyle Illinois. He was outrageously funny and Entertaining as well as educational.
Long Horn delivers a unique combination of laughs and education that everyone from all walks of life will enjoy....an absolutely uplifting show
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!!!
I have had the opportunity to ser Longhorn perform many times. Each time he has been extremely funny as well as pleasingly professional. His punchlines are precisely timed and his quick wit allows him to address up to the minute subject matter. My wife and I plan to catch one if his shows at least annually.
If you like laughing non-stop for 45 minutes book this man! He is a crowd pleaser to say the least. I've booked him to headline twice now and each time he delivered nothing but the best material in his own unique style. He has the uncanny ability to make you laugh while almost subliminally spreading positive messages about life in general and his No. 1 passion -- his love for veterans and his never-ending gratitude for their service. He is fresh, flexible and does whatever it takes to make your event a success. Book him!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir!
Hilarious, and one of the nicest guys in the business.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir! Hope to see you and your crew in October!
A group of friends and I saw Long Horn this past weekend at a local comedy club. He was hilarious! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. My cheeks still hurt!
I thought Longhorn was funny as hell! I loved his interaction with the audience as well as his patriotism. Can't wait to see him perform again!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Kindly Sir!!!
We hired Vernon to entertain us at our annual Christmas party. He traveled from Illinois on Saturday to our little town in Nebraska and gave us a spectacular show and then on to Missouri later that evening. (lots of traveling for 1 day) Vernon gets a quick grip on the audience and adapts extremely well. He worked within our small company budget and exceeded our expectations by miles!!! We highly recommend hiring him!!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You! It was my honor and privilege.
I booked Longhorn The Comedian as the headliner for our new comedy series in Quincy, IL -- LMAO Comedy Series, Presented by Y101, KICK-FM and Coors Light. If you are looking for a guy with character, professionalism and top-notch humor then book this man! I was new to booking talent for a comedy show and he made the process painless from start to finish. Very easy to work with and the crowd refused to let him leave! He has the uncanny ability to mix constant humor with a tremendous "feel good" message. The entire crowd stood in unison at the conclusion of his show. Book this man! You won't be sorry you did!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir...it was an honor and privilege to be a part of your comedy series and I look forward to coming back that way again.
We hired Vernon to entertain our agents at our annual holiday party. Vernon was very professional from the first point of contact. He worked within our budget and his performance exceeded our expectations! He understood and adapted to our audience and entertained everyone without offending our veteran agents.
We would highly recommend him!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you very much.
I came upon him on this very site and basically hired him based on his reviews and a couple videos I saw. He not only was very affordable for our budget..he even brought with him 3 other comics. He knew that hosting a comedy show was something new to our place; therefore took the reigns and helped us out big time. Basically the comedy club came to our small town. If booking a comedian is something you are seriously looking into; I highly recommend shooting him an email.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir....We greatly appreciated the opportunity and even more we enjoyed the crowd. You guys rock!!! Hope to see you again soon.
Excellent, Longhorn has been to Collver Family Winery in Barry at least 3 times. Plays to the crowd very well. Visits before and after the show with the audience. Recommended highly
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank You Sir!!! Always a pleasure!!!
I booked him and a couple of his fellow comedians and my crowd loved him! He will tailor his routine to your liking as to not offend your crowd and will not disappoint! Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!
I have know Longhorn for over a year and have worked with him for over nine mouths. He is a fabulous individual both on and off the stage. Very easy to work with, deals well with all types of audiences and the very bottom line is.......he's funny!!!! I would, NO.... I will give anyone the very highest recommendations to hire and work with "LongHorn - The Comedian".
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir.
We were looking for someone to headline our 1st Annual Fishing For Freedom Quincy, IL event in June 2011. I got on-line and found Longhorn The Comedian. Then noticed he only lived a couple hours away. Now to convince him to do our event and a price we could afford. So I picked up the phone and called his booking number. I didn't get someone else, I talked to Longhorn. I explained what our event was and before I got done, he interrupted me and said he would do it. He was great working with us to get to a price we could afford.
Though the whole process of booking him and getting him to our event, Longhorn was a true professional. You won't find a easier guy to work with. Every time I called him and told him of this change or that change, he would say "It's no problem". He made my job a lot easier.
Now he showed up at our event about 6 hours ahead of time to checkout the venue and see what we had for him. He was funny from the moment he showed up. Now it's 8pm and he takes the stage as our headliner in front of 500 Military Men & Women. It was great. He worked the crowd and did plenty to keep them entertained.
He was so good and easy to work with, we are going to use him for many years to come. He will be back headlining our 2012 Fishing For Freedom Quincy, IL event June 2nd, 2012 in Quincy, IL
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
It is an honor and a privilege to be apart of your great event. I am looking forward to being this year. God Bless You and Yours.
I was the emcee at a Night of Comedy that featured Longhorn. Having never worked with him, or his troop, I wasn't sure what to expect or the reaction of the crowd. However, Longhorn connected with the group and I saw more smiles than a group of kids playing with a puppy. By the end of the night my only concern was possible medical issues after seeing people laugh so hard. Everyone there felt like they had a new friend named, "Longhorn."
I did a my 1st comedy show a year ago with 4 acts. One of my acts bought an extra comedian. It was long horn. OMG he kilt it. Great comic, da crowd loved Long Horn and so did I. Hire him, you won't be disappointed. PROMISE!!!!!! Hightower from Madisonville
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir...Looking forward to coming back soon .
Long Horn was hired by GMD-Entertainment July 2011 to Headline a 3 city 3 show tour. He was hilarious and his timing was awesome. He quickly adapted to his new location and provided remarkable on the spot adjustment comedy. His show provided flexible entertainment for soldiers, airmen and their families in the cities of Stuttgart, Mannheim, and Heildelberg. His show was so great that we have booked him for another 6 shows in 2012. Thank you Long Horn.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you...it is an honor and a privilege to d my part.
Wow says it all, I have assisted a few organizations with fundraisers using Longhorn as the Host Commedian and charging him with setting up the nights entertainment. He comes through everytime and even better he makes sure he hits the mark when it comes to the expectations of the crowd. I have to say if you need to pull off a comedy event and keep the comedy in certain guidelines (yes you can have a comedy event rated PG13!) Longhorn can pull it off and have you laughing on the floor. My hats off to not only a Stand up Comic but a Stand up Guy. Look forward to seeing another show!
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you Sir...for booking me and believing in me.
I have seen Long horn in Saint Louis. I have seen him in Marion, Il. I have been lucky to have shared a stage on both occasions. Watching Long Horn work is a study in the American experience made funny. All from the faceted perspectives of an intellectual, a father, an everyman, a husband, a soldier and a cowboy. All rolled up in one and delivered in a great show. His delivery is flawless and his stage presence is larger than life. You can't go wrong seeing his show.
I happen to know Longhorn personally and can honestly say he is extremely funny on and off stage. He is a must see.
I've seen Longhorn perform and I was indeed impressed, His style is fantastic,,, He made me laugh. and thats a compliment. If he is ever in your area you must go see his show. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT HE IS A HANDSOME DEVIL... Looking forward to seeing him again soon,,,
I had the pleasure of seeing this guy perform at Fort Riley. He had us all laughing from the moment he stepped on stage. Down to earth guy with a great sense of realistic humor! Best wishes!!
We hired Longhorn for a Co. X-mas party for around 60 people. Great show, he quickly picked up and adapted to our audience and had everyone laughing. Because of Longhorn this turned out to be our best employee party ever.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you very much....I really appreciate you having me. God Bless You and Your Crew!!!
In a world where most of the acts are doing the same tired material, there stands alone Comedian Long Horn. When you see an African American comedian clad in a cowboy hat and boots it makes you stand up and take notice. He flawlessly spins personal stories and outrageous observation with the best of them and I could not stop laughing and thinking to myself "I never thought of that" throughout the whole of his set. If you are looking to see a unique one of a kind act Comedian Long Horn is an excellent choice. I will make room for you on the bandwagon.
the show in kansas city was great... better than the headliner...by far...cant wait to see again.. he was funny, good looking and so sweet to talk to...thanks!
This guy is hilarious! You gotta get him to tell the "Charcola" joke. He's all around funny. Not loud at all so u cn hear the punchlines each time! I go to see him every time he's in my area! Really funny guy!
Longhorn brings a fresh and unique look at comedy. He is able to tame any sort of crowd and keep the laughs comings. One of the comedians that I don’t mind watching time and time again. That and the added fact that he is always willing to sit and talk with the crowd on a personal basis after the show. If you have not seen Longhorn do yourself a favor and do it quick.

Longhorn was part of my radio station's annual event to benefit the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, and he was awesome. Longhorn was super easy to work with, a complete professional, very easy to get a hold of, and most of all, funny. If you need someone to light up the room with laughs, Longhorn is your guy. Plain and simple, this guy is knock down, stand up, knock you down again, funny. I could not have been happier, and neither could the crowd. They loved him. I would definitely hire Longhorn again and highly recommend you do the same... you won't be disappointed.

Thank You Again....for letting me be a part of something that is really near and dear to me. People. Look forward to working with you again.
It was an honor to have Longhorn headline a show for Comedy & Co. His positive message along with his original humor made the evening a perfect performance. Looking forward to working with Longhorn The Comedian in the future
I booked Longhorn for a small show in a rough bar. Longhorn was funny off stage and nothing but a comic genius on stage. This man was able to take a loud, rough, and tough crowd and turn them into what looked like a bunch of laughing children.
Longhorn The Comedian is one of the most all around porfessional comics I have worked with to date. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking him for future shows.
I have worked with Longhorn on a couple of different occasions. Each time he was a complete professional. From a booking stand point, he is a dream to work with. The audiences he performed in front of absolutely loved him. He is very diverse and appeals to all types of crowds. I have already booked him for future events.

Some comedians are only funny when they are on stage, indicating that their show is scripted. But Longhorn The Comedian is funny all the time, and was a joy to be around. He also knew when to be a professional and did what ever needed to be done to make the show a success. He took the time to interact with audience before and after the show. Longhorn made a strong fan base while visiting Germany, and we will be staying in contact with him to invite him to perform for us in the future.
Response from Vernon "Longhorn" Davis:
Thank you greatly....this means alot to me!!!
Several friends and I celebrated a birthday at the Looney Bin comedy club in Tulsa, Oklahoma..... Longhorn was so funny that my friends and I are still talking about the show. After the show he mingled with us and took plenty of pictures while still making us laugh. we can't wait for his return.
Loved the show Longhorn headlined in Greenwood, In. with Matt Collins and others.. He put on a hell of a show and u can tell he loves what he does.. Can't wait for him to make another appearance back in Indiana sometime..
Longhorn was the headliner at a comedy show put on by matt collins in matts hometown greenwood, IN. Being friends with Matt we went to the show. And let me tell you..I have never laughed so hard, I was laughing so hard at one point I had tears running down my cheeks. He even had my mother-in-law in tears! Can not wait to see him again!
Longhorn was a featured comic on our show to benefit Joplin, MO. A versatile comedian that can appeal to all races and ages. He is a solid host, and an even better headliner.
I contracted “Longhorn” to perform a show in Jefferson City, Missouri. Longhorn upon the first conversation put my mind at ease due to his ability to talk business without an ego. At the point in the conversation when it came to contracting and guarantees we made a gentleman’s agreement with a verbal handshake and the deal was done.
“Longhorn” performed to the allotted time and had to deal with a few crowed interruptions. “Longhorn” handled them as a comedian would but with professionalism. Working with “Longhorn” made my job as the show producer a very easy task. So easy I was able to sit in the audience and watch his outstanding performance.
I WILL book “Longhorn” once again for future performances as long as his schedule works it out.
Hey there, I have had the pleasure of enjoying many shows of "The Premiere Black Cowboy Longhorn" he is ahumble gentleman and have appreciated his dedication to the men & women that fight for our country. He is extremely funny on and off the stage. I definitely look forward to seeing him perform, he is in his "there" and you enjoy every minute of te journey he takes you on with his humor of experiences of his life. Keep up the hard work Longhorn, success is yours for th taking. I hope others will appreciate the gift of laughter you bring to any venue.
OMG! LongHorn The Comedian! Let's see? Ummmmm.......On a Business Level, He's Serious, Comical, Entertaining and Funny Comedian You will definitely Enjoy & Love !
On the Personal level, He's a Serious and down to earth individual.
I enjoyed his segment at the St Louis House of Comedy. I can't recall the exact date.
I met Longhorn while doing the 50 Comics Deep Competition sponsored by Nephew Tommy of The Steve Harvey Morning Show. He's a pro at What he does, the material isnt geared toward one particular demographic he's an everyman onstage. Ive been doining comedy for 10 years myself and I can say that he is a real comic and by that I mean he writes jokes,his set doesnt depend on working the crowd over or insulting people in the first row. Book him and you will book him again.
I had the good fortune to work with Long Horn the Comedian...To say that he is professional and funny and a very good story teller..is only the start and he really does like to encourage newbie comedians where ever he finds them. In the backwoods or urban areas,funny is just funny to him.
Thank you LH!

Longhorn is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. His material was great, and hysterical as well… and the way he dealt with the hecklers was sometimes even more funny than his material. I had big expectations going in to hear his stand-up—and I came out blown away! LOVED IT!
This guy is super professional. I have had the pleasure of working with him twice and both times resulted in a great show and wonderful memories. Longhorn is the man!
Longhorn The Comedian was amazing!! i'd only seen one other comedy show before and wasn't really expecting much,but he gave us the best show our town had ever seen! we can't wait to have him back for another!
2nd show, and was as excellent as the first. Wonderful story teller and interacts very well with the crowd. Been at our Winery, Collver Family Winery, twice. first time as the opening act he walked off to a standing ovation. Very entertaining and personable. We would definetlt book Longhorn again.
I've worked with for Longhorn several times since last December, I lost count. He is an example of Comedy done right. He has loads of original material, he has a great ability to read a crowd and makes adjustments on the fly with smooth transitions...it's always interesting to watch one of his sets, because you never really know what direction he is going to take things, but he always ends with a strong finish. He is a complete comedian. I have never seen him have a bad set.
He has a true love of comedy and it shows. He has made sacrifices, he works very hard at it everyday, logged a lot of miles getting his voice out there and sharing the love. As far as rating on the basis of stars...it's really not my place, but I would give him four, only because I know his best comedy is still on the horizon.
Not sure of the date, but it was earlier this year in 2010. Longhorn helped out at a charity event for Haiti relief. This was our first time seeing him do his act. Incredible, so fun and genuine. I had to befriend him on facebook after that!
Longhorn was amazing! Hilarious and was a comedian that you could relate to easily. I cannot wait to see him perform again! I would recommend anyone to see him!!!
I thought Longhorn was super funny. I was a lil afraid he wouldn't be funny when he came out in the COW BOY hat but he got game.Sorry I don't remember when it was but i seen him twice at The St Louis House Of Comedy.
Excellent entertainer, hsd the crowd totally involved. Over an hour of solid comedey. Longhorn is easy to listen to and has a great command of the show and stage. Would go see again. 5 stars. Kinda sounds like an Ebay feed back. Hes great and you dont want to miss him, before he goes big time
He brings a unique and witty perspective to his comedy. I think he is funny on many levels. Even after his performance, I recalled things he'd said and started laughing all over again!! I love this man.
VERY VERY FUNNY GUY............
Longhorn came in and did a full set on a night we lacked a headliner, and he killed it. He was fantastic. He hung out with everyone after the show and was the nicest guy you could meet. And his comedy was fantastic as well! I highly recommend him.

Hailed as one of the most unique acts in comedy. His act is billed as “The Longhorn Comedy Show,” is just as unique – a hilarious blend of jokes and observations from a “Country Boy’s” point of view. His material ranges from stuff about his kids, current events and past experiences. Longhorn offers a rousing night of entertainment performed with a Texas Flair.
Born Vernon E. Davis, II, in the small town of Heidenhaimer, Texas to a family of “crazy country people”, he quickly learned that the lessons of life are easier to learn if you add just a little humor. There is nothing “off-limits” to Longhorn’s comedic third eye. He takes the events of life as he sees them and then turns them around to show you how it appears to him and why it is funny. Seriously, nothing is sacred, he talks about kids, old people, midgets, past life experiences, current events, politics and whatever else he sees that needs to be humanized. True comedy is life as we all see it but it takes a comedian like Longhorn to turn it around and help you see the humor in it, there is something funny about everything, I do mean everything to include church (one of his favorite topics, his mother was an Evangelist).
Vernon "Longhorn" Davis is one of the most unique comedians that you will ever have grace your stage. He was born and raised in Central Texas and as a military brat travelled and lived all over the country. His comedy comes from his life experiences as a Husband, Father, Grandfather and 4th Generation Veteran (Army). Longhorn has created his own style of humor that he calls “Longhorn Comedy. Longhorn Comedy is a mix of blue collar, urban, mainstream comedy, and with a dash of great positive messaging all rolled into one.
Longhorn has been crisscrossing North America and Europe
(3 tours of Germany entertaining the U.S. Troops) delivering his own brand of “Longhorn Comedy” to in all sorts of venues: from bars, night clubs, and comedy clubs to colleges, military bases, corporate conventions, even churches. Longhorn is funny enough, flexible enough, and diverse enough to meet any and all of your comedy needs. As Longhorn's motto states “Laughter Has No Color”, and because of this philosophy Longhorn Comedy appeals to a very large mass of your clients.

There is not enough room here..my set is based upon my audience. I read the audience and give them what they want or what the person that is paying me tells me they want.
