“The Pro humorist is a genius in the making! Not only does he offer well detailed, and deeply insightful information, he is able to deliver it in a clear, concise and practical way which I find is a rare ability and very useful! Clearly Pro humorist has been able to bridge the gap between the stage performance and the step-by-step ‘need-to-know’ guide on how to get there. Pro humourist wins my vote

“Hello Jason,
It was lovely to see you on Saturday too – and I was really impressed with your speech. I hope you found the event as useful as we all did…
Thanks for supporting the event and I look forward to seeing you again soon – as I said, do please let me know when you are next doing a speech”.

“Hi Jason,
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your speech for the Evaluation Workshop. From the title to the mini-comic stories to your satiric take on 21st century communication foibles were just fantastic. I have too much to say about you and that speech. But when I get the time, I’ll get back to you. In the mean time, the best thing I can say about that speech is that my mind is replaying it as if it were the trailer for the new Ben Stiller movie!!
I would pay to see you perform Jason.
- Samuel Daram, West Herts Speakers

“Dear Jason
I hope your return journey was easier than the journey from London.
I should like to thank you personally for a wonderful speech – you are an excellent speaker and I am sure you have a great speaking career ahead of you. Thank you so much for coming to our Division contest to help us to ensure fairness. You gave us an extra treat as normally the demonstration speech is secondary to the evaluations – but you presented a moving, humorous and thoroughly memorable speech as a special bonus on top of the four powerful and (I hope you agree) helpful and constructive evaluations.
It was a pleasure to meet you and I do hope our paths will cross again very soon.
Thank you”.
- Sandra Lawes
