Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks for allowing to be apart of such a wonderful event Tony!

We wanted something different at our corporate holiday party this year. We have done DJ's, Casino's, Game's, etc, but never a Comedian. Wellington didn't disappoint! He called me and discussed all of our needs and what our expectations were for the evening event. We had about 120 guest with a large diversity and he had EVERYONE laughing! It's exactly what we needed. Hands down the best experience from the first point of contact.
Wellington did an absolutely amazing job for us. He was hilarious and connected with the entire crowd. He was also a super nice person to work with and delivered on everything we asked him to do. I highly recommend him!
Response from Wellington Juku:
It was a pleasure working with you all ! Its awesome what your doing for the community!
Thanks for the hospitality and kind words .
God Bless
Wellington is so hilarious! He is phenomenal at what he does!
We booked him for my mom’s 60th surprise birthday party, and he kept everyone - young and old - laughing and engaged the whole time. He worked both sides of the room brilliantly. The 100+ guests didn’t want it to end, and my mom absolutely loved his style, humor, and delivery. She’s still raving about his performance.
I absolutely loved how Wellington was able to incorporate details about her into his set to make it feel very personal. His comedy was clean, fun, and it was perfect for a diverse, multigenerational crowd. He made this event one that my mom and all the guests will not forget!
Wellington was very professional from beginning to end. Great communicator, punctual, prepared, and gracious. For anyone on the fence or unsure who to hire like I was, I highly recommend Wellington for your next event. You and all your guests will be very happy you did!
Thank you, Wellington! Great job!
Response from Wellington Juku:

We booked Wellington for a private birthday party at my home and he did not disappoint! He kept it clean and was hilarious! My guest all said they had a great time!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks Jeneen ! Thanks for the hospitality, allowing to celebrate with you and the delicious food 😊. You all were a pleasure work with. Happy Birthday again 🥳
While at an event a couple of months ago some of our donors asked me if we would be doing our Laugh for Hope Comedy fundraiser again this year. When I said yes they all said "please bring back Wellington he was really funny." When the people ask you listen. We brought Wellington back for a THIRD time and he did not disappoint. He was OUTSTANDING! He told jokes that all of our audience members could relate to and had them laughing throughout his act.
Great performance for our church anniversary celebration. Funny and clean for entire performance. Will hire again! Thanks Wellington
Wellington was simply amazing. He was full of energy, relatable and was simply enjoyable. Our Pastors and guests loved him and he catered to the crowd. Very original and kind. Our Pastor loved him and stated how much he truly enjoyed Wellington. Thank You so much!!!!
Wellington is charismatic and original, he touched on topics everyone could vibe with and he brought down the house with his clean comedy performance. We booked Wellington Juku for a non-profit fundraiser event. He was professional from start to finish. He asked questions to understand the event and greeted our guests after the show. His comedy is HOT!!!!! Without a doubt I would book Wellington again and again!!!!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks Brianna ! You were easy to work with and super accommodating. It was pleasure working with you all for an incredible cause ! I look forward to working with you again in the near future !.

Wellington was great to work with! This was our second year having Wellington at our annual comedy night for our non-profit. He is funny and really knows how to keep the crowd engaged and entertained! We will definitely be asking him back to our next event!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks for having me ! You all are doing a terrific service with the Heart For Africa foundation. It was a pleasure working with you and I'm glad that I could be of service !
We booked Wellington for our Young Adult Ministry's Friendsgiving Dinner Party and he exceeded all expectations! He fit the vibe of the night perfectly. It was our first time having a comedian at a church event, but we will definitely have him back in the near future.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks alot for having me and being a gracious host. The show was terrific. Looking forward to working with you all again in the near future. God Bless.
If you are contemplating booking Wellington, do yourself and your guest a favor and book now! I booked him for my husbands birthday and he was a big hit with our guests. My husband laughed all night and everyone is still talking about how much fun they had and how funny Wellington was. He also had an opener, Marian Ballard, who was very funny as well. Wellington was professional, respectful, and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much!
Response from Wellington Juku:
So glad you all had a great time Jessica. You were a terrific 5 star host, with a fantastic set up for comedy, and made us feel super welcomed.
It was a pleasure working with you ! I wish you and your Husband the best on your New Arrival .
Peace and Blessings

Wellington had the crowd rolling from beginning to end. Everyone was talking about how funny he was after the show. Highly recommend.
Response from Wellington Juku:
I appreciate that Andrew! Thanks for your hospitality and providing a comedy conducive atmosphere
No matter the size, age group, ethnic makeup , Wellington always has them completely and thoroughly entertained and laughing. Wellington is an ACE. I book him every chance I get.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks James ! Its always great to perform for people who are ready to laugh in a well set up and conducive environment for comedy entertainment.
We invited Wellington Juku to come and do a comedy show for an event that celebrates the volunteers at our church. Kareem 'Plug' Chapman and Ms. B. (two other Gig Salad comics) kicked off the night by having our guest in tears long before Wellington finished us off with pain filled laughter! All three comics made our volunteers feel loved and appreciated. Our entire church would recommend Wellington for any event that you need to have a good laugh. Make up an event just to have him, it will be worth it!
Wellington is a fantastic comic. Very Funny and total professional to work with.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks Amy !
Wellington is a very funny guy. I was very pleased to see my husband laughing and enjoying himself while Wellington was telling his jokes. Wellington definitely knows how to hold the crowds attention with laughter. I will definitely hire him again for our church.
Response from Wellington Juku:
I had a great time working with you all. You made it easy for me work with such a well put together and professional event. Thanks again for allowing me to be apart of an awesome Birthday Celebration!!
I am lucky enough to book and work with Wellington often. He’s always a solid performer who elevates the quality of every show regardless of his role or place in the line up. Not only is he a talented comic but also extremely professional and easy to work with. But what I appreciate about him the most is how he makes a point of sizing up the crowd ahead of time and adjusts his set list on the fly to make sure the audience has a great time and making sure I (as the Booker) looks like a genius for putting him on the show.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thank you so much Heather!!! I truly appreciate you for being a joy to work with , making it easy , and thanks for being an awesome professional.
The Gaslight show was fantastic!!
I have booked Wellington several times to close my Limerick Comedy showcase in Virginia-Highland, and every time he leaves the crowd in hysterics. His material is super-relatable, and both young and old people in the crowd crack up at him. I also have seen him perform in front of club crowds and corporate crowds, and he is as versatile as a comic can get. Can't recommend him highly enough, and if I ever need "a sure thing" on a show I call Wellington.
He had my parents cracking up. And was good at being put on the spot.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks for having me as a host for your awesome event . The kids routines were fantastic. God Bless!
What a great job. The crowd was laughing and enjoyed the comedy show.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks
Wellington was the MC at my daughter’s graduation and 18th birthday celebration and he was phenomenal!!!! We had people of all ages and he was able entertain them all. His jokes are clean and on point. He is very patient and professional. My guests Loved him and are still talking about him. Thank you, Wellington, for making my daughter’s graduation/18th birthday celebration a memorable one!!!!!
I've had Wellington on my show twice to perform for mixed genders, nationalities, and ages 32-65 - he never disappoints!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks for having me and always bringing out a pleasant audience Shelby !!
Wellington was phenomenal! He connected with all ages and made the evening one to remember. He helped to make our 10th Church Anniversary Funny Finale a great success. Aragon will talk about Wellington Juku (in a good way) for a long time.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thank you so much for allowing me to be apart of a very special occasion. Every one was super hospitable . God Bless !
We were So pleased with Wellington’s set at our school’s event. His comedy was very clean and hilarious and appealed to everyone in our diverse audience. He even offered to help clean up after the event! Wellington is a great comedian and a great guy!!!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thank you so much, Cheryl, for letting me be a part of such an awesome event for the kids and the adults in attendance. You were very hospitable and kind. I hope you have a fantastic weekend!!
Wellington performed at our comedy show this past Friday night, and it was absolutely amazing. He was very funny and professional, I will definitely use him again. Everyone who came to our comedy show enjoyed him and his team! Thank you, Mr. Wellington!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks a lot! Your people and organization were truly a pleasure to work with . You all made it easy for us to what we love doing . God Bless
The company that I work for just had a Christmas party that was quite unique. There were several things going on at once (eating, drinking, dancing, entertainment, drawing for prizes, karaoke) so it was busy, to say the least. I hired Wellington to host the event and he did not let me down at all. He was very flexible, positive and helpful the whole time. Unfortunately, I kept changing things up on him, but he handled it with so much grace and just went with it. And he even wore a santa suit while doing it!
Of course he was hilarious. The guests enjoyed him. It takes true talent to make people laugh of varying races and socio-economic backgrounds. The entire crowd was laughing!
Wellington was patient, and went with the flow. He was quick on his feet and fun to work with. It felt like he was a part of the family. He has my highest recommendation. I would book him again and again!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thank you soooooo much !!!! You made it easy for me to do a great job . I had so much fun working with you and your company. May you continue to have a blessed year in 2019 and beyond Kim !!!!
This dude performed at my monthly showcase, in front of a rowdy local crowd. He is a Professional. He Killed!! Wonderful presence, excellent material, amazing crowd work, And didn’t run the light. Please do yourself a favor and book him.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks a lot Joseph. You provide an awesome show for people in the city coming from all over. You go out your way to give them a diverse lineup , which is very commendable of you. God bless you. Thanks again .
We’ve booked Wellington for multiple events, most recently to headline Spirits Tavern in Dahlonega. Every time we have him on a show he steals it! Can’t recommend him enough.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Your awesome. Thanks for me allowing me to be apart of such a well organized and successful show! God Bless
Wellington is my go-to comic for the comedy shows I produce. He's always consistently funny and I ALWAYS have audience members asking about him after shows. All types of people love his stand up. Wellington is always professional and courteous on and off the stage. Highly recommend Wellington!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thank you very much! It’s always a pleasure to perform on such a well produced show with a fantastic audience and Host!
Wellington Juku was the right choice to book on the Stand Up at Studio 48 show in McDonough Ga. He really communicated with the audience and gave them a peak into his hilarious mind and life. And his preformance was well executed, there were no words wasted and he masterfully ended his set with a perfectly timed call back that showed his skill as a comedian was at the next level.
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks for allowing me to be apart of your sold out event Jarrett! It was a great show.
So professional, So funny and very well received from staff and the audience!! Clean comedian who shows up on time and delivers!
Response from Wellington Juku:
Event was great and the staff was fantastic. You did outstanding hosting the show. Thanks for letting me be apart of an awesome eveing.
One of the other comedians had to cancel at the last minute Juku stepped in and saved the day. He was only contracted to do a 30 minute piece. But he ended up hosting the event as well as doing a 45 minute piece. If you are in the needs for a very funny comedian who loves what he does, Juku is your COMEDIAN... Thanks Juku....
Response from Wellington Juku:
Thanks for having me out Jovonnie for such a special occasion. You all were super accommodating. I look forward to working with you guys again in the future.
With a passion for comedy that spans 20 years, I've found that comedians who've approached stand-up as an artform instead of a pastime are more impressive entertainers. Wellington Juku is no exception.
His comedic timing draws the audience into his world just long enough for his masterful impressions, artistically written material and hilarious perspectives to make you a lifelong fan. Each of his performances has been a one-man showcase featuring whatever the venue requires. A consumate-comedic professional for hire...hire him!
This guy came to my Center and gave the crowd huge laughter. He is too funny and I had crying eyes laughter. Cannot wait to have you come out again. Thanks again for accepting the invite.
I hired Wellington Juku to perform at my Fabulous at Fifty birthday event. He effectively delivered really good material that he had honed, as well as impressed the audience with on point, timely, witty, fluid injections of improvisation! Wellington Juku is a must have element to make your event POP! SUPER FUNNY GUY!
I hired Wellington to perform at my wife's 42nd surprise birthday party.He was very professional,early,and very funny. Everyone was extremely pleased with his performance. He adapted his comedy to the senior crowd " her parents who were present" my father in law commented that he hadn't laughed that hard in awhile. Book Wellington Juku you will be pleased.
Wellington is consistent with his shows. I have seen him a few times and he never disappoints me. I had the opportunity to have him at one of my events and he was definitely the crowds favorite. One thing I like about Wellington is that his comedy is able to reach any audience. You definitely want to book this comedian for your event.
Hired Wellington for my 40th birthday party, and he just destroyed it. I highly recommend him. He was professional on time and extremely funny. Would hire him again in a heart beat.
Wellington was our first headliner in Oct of 2014 and he performed countless times thereafter!! Not only is this guy hilarious, he is versatile, professional and always delivers good comedic entertainment. He was our "HOUSE" favorite. We even hired or recommended him for private parties at our venue. He never disappoints.
