“I have booked Mike James many times over the past 5 years for small private parties and large corporate events. He is prompt in his arrival to each venue. He dresses, acts and delivers a great show no matter how small or large the crowd. If it's comedy you're looking for I highly recommend Mike James for your event.”
“I'm the pastor at Circle of Peace, a small Christian church in the northwest valley. We've had Mike and his crew come to Circle more than once, and for good reason: They're great. Funny, fun, respectful, energetic.”
