John doesn't do innuendo! He delivered ballsy comedy in an audacious wrist-slapping style that kept the audience laughing throughout his set...

John Pendal headlined for us recently and had the audience in hysterics with his well rehearsed jokes. He has the great ability to play a wide range of rooms and we look forward to booking him again soon.
Cheers

John Pendal is not a run of the mill comic, but he has warmth and wit in spades, and draws the audience into his world with ease. Headliner next time, methinks!

John Pendall opened for us. What a great act. How anyone can craft filth in that way is beyond me the audience loved him. At one point he gave the audience a choice of filth or nice.. With Pam Ford screaming "go nice I’ve heard this before" the audience opted for filth.. John didn't disappoint. Great act..

I was compering that night - I learnt more about repacking than I ever wanted to....
Quality if you need filth

Did a nice and well received set for me recently.

To be fair, it isn't filth if you don't want it to be.
Just as in the youtube clips you'll find, John makes it very clear he gives the audience a choice and he can follow that with good judgement of what is acceptable
-- judged my audience perfectly and finished at exactly the right point, on a high.

With his very likeable persona on(and off)-stage, and Jack Russell-like eagerness, John Pendal makes filth into fun; he's grown in confidence every time I've seen him, which is not surprising as he's one of the most prolific newer acts I know.

John recently stepped up to close my night and didn't fail to deliver. He put in a great set that left the audience wanting more. I had very good feed back from both the audience and venue and will definitely be booking him again.

John's progression as an act on stage is a testament to his efforts off of it.

He is gigging tirelessly, he has clearly taken the time to write and craft his jokes and he makes the effort to tailor his material to suit whatever audience is in front of him.

He's got a great onstage persona and has a great knack of taking the audience to places they usually wouldn't go and keeping them laughing.

It's easy to shock and offend but it's not so easy to get an audience of teens and grannies, middle class liberals and stuffy conservatives all laughing along together at jokes about fisting.

He improves dramatically every time I see him and if he continues at the rate he is going then I'm sure he'll carry on doing so.
