A big FAN of Don’s!! Had the pleasure of his company on a flight from Seattle to Vegas a few years back. Been a fan ever since!
Yep, Don is a great guy. If you’re in Vegas, be sure to see his show!
Thanks for a great interview! Wanna come see me live? Mention Vegas Video and get in FREE to my Vegas show at The Clarion Hotel. (Does not include $5 service fee/tax.)
Keep on laughing, Don
Thanks for the offer, Don!
If you’re reading this, take Don up on his offer!!!
This interview with Don has turned out to be absolutely true. He has allowed new and veteran comedians to get on stage with some great audience. I’ve been lucky enough to open for Don, Kathleen Dunbar and other headliners in the short time the show has been open.
Thanks to Don for being true to his word and supporting the comedy community.
Yep, Don is the best, no question. I hope to get my first spot there this week. Hope I get a chance to work with you in the near future Jim!
