"Since 2010, J & J Comedy has been a member of the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce and was asked to perform at our Annual Holiday Awards Dinner. This was our first comedy dinner show and we had a high level of professional expectations. It was no doubt that since our first meeting that they would provide a quality show and ensure that our expectations were met. Our staff enjoyed working with them and equally important was the positive comments we received from our attending Chamber members. We would recommend J & J Comedy to our membership for future events." Robert J. Peluso MBA,

"J & J Comedy has been a tremendous asset to the fundraising events that I have been running for the past 3 years. I have organized many events and J & J Comedy has provided the entertainment for all of them. I would not consider using anyone else. James DeBenedetto is my contact and he is always quick to respond to any requests I have and he gets the show together for me right away! I always get a follow up phone call the day after the show as well to make sure that everything went smoothly. J&J Comedy truly cares about making sure your event is a success. Their professionalism as well as their entertainment is unsurpassed. At each event I was in charge of I knew that the one thing I did not need to worry about was the entertainment. The comedians are on time, prepared and very courteous and respectful to work with. They have worked in many different venues and are always able to work with any obstacles and surprises that I have thrown at them. As far as the show – I have received rave reviews from everyone. Each comedian is as good or better than the last. I have had many different performers and I have never been disappointed in any of them. Their comedy is always appropriate for our audience as well. As I sit in the audience and look at my guests it is obvious that they are having a wonderful time laughing at the show. At the end of each show it is inevitable that people ask me where the comedians are from because they were so good! I have many friends who come to the shows over and over because they know they will have a great time. If you are planning any kind of event, J & J Comedy is the entertainment that will have your guests asking when the next event is!"

“The Matthew Jago School PTO has used J & J Comedy for our Comedy Night Fundraiser the past two years. From the time of booking to the event itself, James and his staff are a pleasure to work with and are more than accommodating. As for the lineup of comedians…beyond hysterical! For 90 minutes we were able to forget about the worries of the world and simply laugh! We truly did not want the evening to end! For an uplifting evening full of pure comedy, I highly recommend J & J Comedy for your next event. And now, we do several yearly shows with J & J Comedy for the Saint John Vianney Puma’s Boys Soccer & The Avenel Middle School PTO as well. Wherever I go that we need entertainment for a fundraiser, J & J Comedy is who I call!”

“It is one thing to book an event and just show up, but it is another thing to be in constant contact with the other party. I appreciate the no less then twenty emails and telephone calls from the first time that we met. I appreciate your professionalism and dedication to your profession. Your comics rocked the house and were the talk of the over three hundred attendees. The collective material was new, fresh and up to date. I, we could not have asked for anything more.”

"The event went very smooth and I have been receiving a ton of positive feedback from all that attended. All three guys were awesome, I can't tell you which one I liked best because they were all funny as hell. I am glad that we were referred to you guys by Giuseppe at Cranbury FOP. We will definitely be using you for our event next year and I will be referring your company to all the Mercer county police unions at our next county meeting. Thank you so much and if there is anything I can ever do for you please don't hesitate to call." Thomas Egan

“On behalf of the Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Academy HSA, I would like to thank you for coming out to our school and giving us a much enjoyed night of extreme laughter. Our parents work very hard to raise money for school. To be able to host an inexpensive night out for our parents and others in our community AND raise money was a complete pleasure. I just knew this would be a great way to raise money for our school. I personally appreciated your guidance in helping get our 1st Comedy Night together. As you assured me, it was not a difficult event for which to prepare. First impressions mean a lot…people are still talking about the night and repeating the jokes! We have given out your information to others inquiring AND we are talking about another show in the Spring!”
