It is our pleasure to recommend Sam Ridley. As co-owners of Thief & Barrel Winery, we have had the privilege of working with Sam as one of our featured headlining comedians and have witnessed firsthand the remarkable talent, professionalism, and character he brings to every performance. Off the stage, Sam is humble, thoughtful, exceptionally well-mannered, and the kind of person who genuinely listens. On stage, however, he comes alive. His natural gift for storytelling, quick wit, and ability to turn everyday life into moments of laughter create an experience that resonates with audiences of all kinds. He has an uncanny ability to draw people in, make them feel part of the story, and leave them smiling long after the show has ended. Beyond his talent, Sam is simply a good human being. He is generous with his time, encourages fellow comedians, and celebrates the success of others. He shares his experiences openly, mentors without expectation, and represents himself with humility, integr ...ity, and professionalism. Sam has become a favorite with our guests and has built an outstanding reputation throughout the Antelope Valley and Southern California. We have every confidence that he would be an exceptional addition to any comedy lineup and an asset to any organization fortunate enough to work with him. Without hesitation, we offer Sam Ridley our highest recommendation. Sincerely, DiMaggio Washington and Barbara Moran Owners, Thief & Barrel Winery

I met Dan personally at Best Buy. His wit was quick and humorous. Learned he was a comedian I then saw his online performance. I completely enjoyed his talent. I can’t wait to see him do a live performance. Loved his show.

Jessica was very professional, friendly, and punctual. Her set was relatable to our audience, and she did her research on our city for our guests to relate to. She was our identified headliner and closing comedian for the evening and did amazing work. We definitely plan on using her services again in the near future.
