We hired Team Us to perform at a 50th birthday party. They came highly recommended from a very well known comedy troupe in California. Vik was so attentive and accommodating in both planning and the night of. Both him and Tyler were hilarious but more importantly they understood our crowd. Everyone loved them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great laugh. Not only did each do a set they also customized a roast for the birthday boy, which was above and beyond what anyone could ask for. Thank you so much guys for making our event memorable!

Thank you Sona, your husband has a fantastic sense of humor!
We had Vik perform for our son's High School Grad party. Vik was great to work with. He was on time as promised and captivated the audience's attention very easily and engaged them in funny satirical humor, he even customized a few jokes specific to my Son. Our friends thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Thanks Mark, incredible party!
We worked with Vik 2 nights of our wedding. He had everyone crying laughing. Really good for our friends AND our parents (eg was PG-13 not R, but he said he could do any range) and was really good at creating a custom storyline based on info we submitted. Would highly recommend Vik for any standup / entertainer gigs he’s truly awesome!

We had an 18th birthday party for our son who is a Junior in College, so most of the participants were college students. Vik was funny in his delivery, he read the crowd well, and was very engaged. He hyped up our 18 year old and really gave an awesome show. He did not disappoint! Hiring Vik was the headliner for our event and he was the best!
We hired Vik for my husband's 60th birthday party in July. Scheduling and other logistics were easy to work out with Vik, which made the entire planning process easier.
The day of the party, Vik brought along another comic to be his opening act, and she was great too. During his show, Vik was engaging with the audience and since the guests were 16+, the jokes landed for the entire audience and there was plenty of laughter!
The best part was he asked about the overall composition of the guests so the show appeals to everyone and I knew then that I have made the correct decision to hire him.
Overall, we had a great experience and since he mentioned that he does comedy in other comedy clubs, we will look forward to seeing him in other cities!
The only regret is we didn’t take any pictures… we were busy laughing. Hopefully he will share if he has any😂

Thanks so much Steve! We had a blast and the party, can't wait to see you at a show soon!
Vik put on great show for myu daughter's bridal shower! Not your traditional event for a comedian, but he made it GREAT. We submitted him with some background info on her & stories from her & her fiance's friends and he workd in some great lines like a mini-roast that had all of us that know her cracking up. Many of the ladies said it was the best shower they'd ever been to, probably because they had never been to a shower with Vik on the mic! haha
He was professional, easy to work with & quick to respond. HIGHLY recommend hiring him for any type of event. THANK YOU VIK!

Vik was very accommodating, professional, and approachable. He had the whole group laughing. He did arrive a little late but it worked out in our favor as we were running late as well. Would definitely hire again.

Thanks so much Cassandra for being a gracious host! Apologies again for getting lost on the lakefront and being a couple min late!
Vik was great and even brought along another comedian. Everyone said he was hilarious and he even added a few minutes to his act with a roast for my husbands 50th birthday. He was a great communicator as well and always kept in touch. Very accommodating to my budget as well. Would recommend him highly!

Thank you so much Sumyyah! You put on such a stellar event, I'm glad I was able to add to it :)
Thank you Vik for the amazing show! My family and friends loved your performance. Love the fact that Vik stayed in communication with me the entire time up until the event date. In addtion, Vik responded back immediately to all my messages. Due to my first time hosting my birthday zoom event, Vik was very patience, understanding, and flexible. You have to book Vik for your next event! I most definitely will be booking Vik for future events. I give Vik Pandya a 10 instead of 5!!!! Thank you, Vik!!!👍Hugs from far away!!!

Vik is very quick on his feet! He read the "room" and made his joke age appropriate for our crowd. He made the best out of the whole zoom situation. We highly recommend Vik for any event that you have happening.

Response from Vik Pandya:
Thanks Billy, you guys put on an awesome event I was happy to help out!
Thank you Vik, Tyler Fowler, and Paul Farahvar for an awesome event!
Vik was very communicative and professional through the entire process. He gave advice about the show's length the number of comedians, and other details which made the show go off without a hitch. He also curated two other very funny comedians which were both great and provided our team with a much needed fun "night out". All comedian's stayed with the parameters given and did a great job interacting with and building off of us as the crowd.
Would definitely make the same decision to hire Vik again!

Response from Vik Pandya:
Thanks Priscilla, such a fun group!
We hired Vik to come talk to a room of high school students about his life as a stand-up comedian. He was terrific -- he came and shared a few bits, then explained the process of writing jokes and building a set. Where he really shined was interacting with our students -- he answered many questions with wit and specificity. Added bonus -- he can work clean, though I have no doubt he's hilarious if he's free of the restrictions of public school censorship. Highly recommend him for any event -- he is a professional, and he can adapt his routine for any audience.
