QUOTES
"In our opening ceremonies we usually have about 250 people attending. At our opening ceremony this year we had over 700. When I randomly asked the guests why they chose to attend this time, virtually all said they came to see John Pendal’s comedy act. It was a big hit with the crowd and as a result we have asked John to perform again next year. His act was smart, timely and funny as hell! Great stuff!"
Rich Dockter, Director of Thunder in the Mountains, Denver, Colorado. 28/7/11
"John Pendal wasted little time, with humorous anecdotes and quips - some that were good-naturedly offensive, to say the least."
Mr Marcus. The Bay Area Reporter (San Francisco). 2/5/2009

"Overall some nice jokes and you were strangely likeable." - Tony Tinman
"A very nice and funny guy" - Jim Grant, Oi Oi Comedy
