We had so much fun and it was so nice to have him handle the hosting of the event. I have done it in years past so this year I was able to relax and have fun myself!!!

Thanks Jennifer. It was soooo much fun working with you! Here's to creating a wild game show with you next year! :)

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 29, 2018•From Chicago, IL
Brett was very professional and was great with our audience. My husband's 80th birthday party was a lot of fun due to Brett's ability to get everyone engaged and laughing. It was a wonderful evening!
:
It was my pleasure, Wendy. Watching his gushing childlike smile and yours throughout the night was worth every moment. Hope to see you soon! :)

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 15, 2019•From Davenport, IA
Brett helped to make our annual Christmas Party extremely successful. From first contact, he was always very prompt in making himself available by many different avenues, email, phone, text, etc. During the planning phase for the event, he was professional and effective both in his communications as well as in his in-person event contact with our company executives and employees. He did not disappoint in his promise to keep the show extremely family friend, yet still was able to make his routine funny even with those tight and most likely challenging parameters. It helped to calm my nerves trying to make our party successful with Brett on board.
:
Thanks Renee! Sooo much fun!

Private Party•Reviewed on January 29, 2019•From Joliet, IL
I was extremely grateful that he was able to accommodate our nonprofit budget. However, he showed up 30mins late and didn't stay for the full hour he agreed to. The price we paid was a lot for us and I made that very clear in our first conversation, so I was disappointed that he didn't fill his time frame.
:
Hi Rebecca, I’m so sorry you were disappointed. When my car broke down in the snow storm I called you immediately but sadly you weren’t there to pick up the call to tell them I’d be late, so I left you a voicemail. I rushed there as soon as possible. I’m also sorry you were confused about the time frame. I did actually do the full time and stayed extra to talk to the wonderful sweet staff and residents of the retirement home. Took questions after my show, told tales of Johnny Carson, and even took pictures with everyone. Again, I’m so sorry there was so much confusion and you were disappointed.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 16, 2021•From Naperville, IL
Brett did a fantastic job as our wedding officiant!!! We didn't want an overbearing religious ceremony,
nor did we want a boring nuptial empty of emotion. Then we found Brett Walkow on The Bash. He was so funny, bright, and put everyone at ease with laughter. He took the time to craft an individualized performance that made our ceremony fun loving and special. I highly recommend him!!!
:
You two were the best! And I can’t wait to try me some of that family BBQ soon!!!!! ??

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 21, 2019•From West Chicago, IL
Brett was such a fun element to add to my husband's surprise 40th birthday party! I wanted something different to break up the night from dinner to dancing and Brett delivered with a hilarious roast! Brett asked for some content before the night of the show on my husband so I sent him some things I find funny about him as did his friends and sister which he put together perfectly for lots of laughs! Our kids were also there and somehow Brett made it really funny and also PG-13 which we appreciated. I would highly recommend hiring Brett for an event! He's great to work with!

Brett was fantastic as our MC and Comedian. Everyone loved him! He kept in contact throughout the entire process, gave recommendations and feedback on ways to improve future events, which we greatly appreciated! He was exactly what our Benefit Auction needed! We cant wait to book him again.

AMAAAAZING!!! Brett was great to work with! He made recommendations for our event that clearly helped us to make improvements that paid off. We raised significantly more than previous years. In our Fund-A-Need alone Brett helped us increase revenue from $2,800 to over $28,000! He had great ideas and ramped up the crowd to keep everyone raising their paddles! He's fun, energetic, and has a heart for the work that nonprofits do. We can't wait to work with him again!

Brett and Elizabeth were great to work with! Brett was a comedian, game show host, and emcee at two company picnics this month. He listened to our needs and ideas as well as provided his own flare. Thanks!

He played a tough room and did a great job. He played off of the people that were present and included many different aspects of life.

Thanks Todd! :)

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 20, 2019•From Pewaukee, WI
Brett was fantastic! He was very easy to work with leading up to the event. Many guests at the event commented on his talent and how he elevated the event. One guest said "I'm glad to see you made an upgrade" in regards to our emcee/auctioneer. Brett was fun, professional, and explained our mission perfectly.
:
Thanks Heather. It was a pleasure. And I said it before and I'll say it again, YOU were amazing. What you put together was such a wonderful night. They are lucky to have you. See you soon :)

Brett was awesome for my husband's 40th! He made a hilarious roast that had our stomachs hurting from laughing so much! Will definitely book him again for any future parties.

Booking Brett was the best decision that we made for our 2019 gala. He clearly did his research and came to our event with a deep understanding of our mission and goals which lead to a significant increase in our paddle raise from last year. Brett's authenticity and excitement for helping our organization captured and kept our crowd's attention through the length of the program - which is no easy feat. My only hesitation in writing such a glowing review is that he will be harder to book in the future! Thank you Brett.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on February 27, 2019•From Rolling Meadows, IL
Brett entertained our adult BSA volunteers at a fundraiser we recently had. Brett’s material was hilarious and had everyone laughing with delight. His set was a real treat for our volunteers. Brett was completely appropriate for our group, but still very funny and a great all round entertainer. Leading up to the event Brett was easy to work with. He showed a real interest in understanding his audience ahead of time. He communicated consistently and arrived on time. He even stayed after his set to help with a silent auction we ran; adding a lot of positive energy. Everyone had a great time. We were very happy to have Brett provide the entertainment at our event.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on February 27, 2019•From Downers Grove, IL
Brett did a great job at our corporate event. He was very professional and of course very funny. He came in as a motivational speaker which was hilarious then introduced himself as a comedian. The group really enjoyed his humor. He also personalized it for us. It was a great way to end our long meeting.

Mary Ellen, it was my pleasure :). What a fun fun group you all are... makes my job easy :).

Restaurant Event•Reviewed on February 20, 2019•From Lena, IL
Brett is a class act! He was awesome at working the crowd and knowing how to keep them engaged. The hours and a half didn't seem long enough, we didn't want it to end! He is SUPER low maintenance and I feel like I made a friend!
:
YOU are awesome and you definitely made a new friend. We're gonna do soooo much ridiculous fun stuff together :)

Corporate Function•Reviewed on February 18, 2019•From Saint Charles, IL
I can't say enough great things about Brett. To start, our event was more of a corporate event and Brett was very qucik to respond to my posting and contact me. So from the start, I was very impressed.
This man is super professional, worked with us every step of the way to accommodate our needs, and, most importantly, hilarious. A lot of people who attended our event said they thought he was awesome and the stories he was telling were really funny and comical.
Brett is fantastic and if you're looking for a comedian who will liven up your event, he's just the guy you need!
:
Thanks Nate! It was a blast doing funny for you all! :)
