Some feedback and praise
“Shaun was SUPER. Not only did he do a phenomenal job emceeing our corporate function but with his corporate background he completely understood our complicated business and what we needed from an emcee for the launch of our unique event. And after the event he took the initiative to stick around and discuss the logistics with our participants so he could make suggestions to make the event even better the next time we do it.”
– Kayvan Farzaneh
Senior Manager
VSC Consulting
“You were the most talked-about part of our group’s trip to NYC- everyone had such a wonderfully hilarious evening. We all appreciated your ability to interact with a very diverse audience, military officers and diplomats intermixed with New Yorkers and visiting tourists from all over, and still keep your material fresh, clever and relevant to everyone. People who’ve made a career out of slogging through mud while under fire aren’t going to be offended by dirty words, but they still marveled at your friendly and professional ability to rock the room without the use of foul language or vulgar content. I would recommend you to any group seeking entertainment.”

Wow! … OMG! …. hilarious!” That’s just a sample of what folks were saying about you as they left the theater. Thanks, Shaun, for a truly awesome show. We look forward to having you back in the very near future!

– Abby Russell

“Shaun writes the kind of smart comedy I like to use in my opening monologue.”
– Jay Leno
“Shaun Eli is a smart and witty comedy writer. He is a gifted monologist. He avoids the topics other comedians have burned out. His observations about our society’s insanity are fresh, entertaining and funny. He has a genuine gift to make us laugh.”
– Stephen Rosenfield
Director, The American Comedy Institute
Shaun has become a real asset to the Joey Reynolds Show. We enjoy him so much we’ve made him a quasi-regular. He’s smart, quick, flexible, enthusiastic, professional and is totally there. He also interfaces well with whatever microphone starved maniacs happen to be on the show with him.
– Myra Chanin
Producer
The Joey Reynolds Radio Show (WOR 710 AM in NYC and syndicated to hundreds of radio stations across the U.S.)
“Shaun had our attention from the start. Even our fittest divers were laughing so hard they could barely catch their breath. Shaun was so polished and professional, we still can’t believe he’d been performing for only four months. Our members, and their families, keep talking about the show he put on, and they want him back next year.”
– Dr. Soliman Shenouda
President
The Scuba Sports Club
“Shaun is stupendous! We spent a little over an hour on the phone to come up with some jokes for my company’s e-commerce site. I was amazed at how quickly he thought of funny things for us to put on our website to keep it interesting and draw attention to our novel products. His comedy was not just about the products themselves- he even came up with a joke to boast about the low price we are charging. Shaun’s price for his expertise? Very fair and reasonable. Need original comedy for your business? Hire Shaun.”

“…humor that is smart and wry and a little cerebral.”
– Scarsdale Inquirer
“From your first sentence you had us all hooked, starting with one-liners and building into a routine that made us think while we were laughing, an awesome combination! Come back, we want more!”
– Lesa Pascal
President of the African/Latin Heritage Club and Officer of Student Government Association
Concordia College-New York
“Shaun was a blast to have on. Even though we had some technical difficulties and couldn’t play clips from his performance, he took it in stride and was VERY entertaining.”
– Lou Ruggieri, host of “The Stress Factor” on WMSC radio (Meeker Broadcasting)
Thanks for making such a terrific resource available to anyone who wants it (and for free!). I’m due to perform my first ever stand up routine in a few weeks (at the age of fifty), so I’m voraciously reading anything and everything I can lay my hands on. I really enjoyed your FAQ page and found a lot of the info very helpful.
