Jason’s energetic performance at day’s end was a welcome relief from the corporate reality. His quirky and personal style engaged the audience, while still being just a bit cheeky. Adolescent and Family Mental Health Association
Jason was engaged to farewell delegates at our recent conference. A difficult task, the last session before farewell drinks, but Jason won them over. Prior to his appearance he took time to contact me to determine the demographic of his audience and to discuss suitable content. His preparation paid off. He was a great success and several days later I am still receive positive comments. He is charming, funny and a great entertainer. Australian Library and Information Association
Jason was an excellent choice of MC for our event (UniSA Open Day). His style was perfect for our requirements, he was thoroughly entertaining and did and fine job of reconciling being fun and informative. He was very well prepared and researched – a true professional! University of South Australia
Jason’s lightning-quick wit, indelible charm and subtle ability to make his audiences think as well as laugh are just some of the reasons why we chose to have him perform at our corporate IT conference. I cannot recommend Jason highly enough and found him to be an affable and generous professional. Comunet Pty Ltd
We hired Jason Chong as a comedian for our corporate Christmas Show – it’s fair to say that he came highly recommended, but none of us had seen him live, so there is always some reservations … but he not only dispelled those reservations, he absolutely smashed them … I have to say that I can’t ever remember seeing a funnier comedian, in fact I heard people from our evening proclaiming him as ‘the funniest man in the world’ and I would have to agree!
