Press

““The comedy itself will probably be of particular interest to OSU alumni as he’s known for making jokes specific to the college or town that he’s performing,” Akin said. “Expect some jokes about OSU and Bedlam as well.””

— Chase Rheam, Stillwater News Press

““My name is Evan Wecksell. If you don’t like me, my name is Justin Bieber.” This comedian knew how to introduce himself, and on Friday, February 1, North Central College got a taste of his humor.”

— Anna Kopsky, The Chronicle

"Comedian Evan Wecksell stepped up to the microphone... with the routine that had the whole room laughing long after the final punch line was delivered."

— Kalli Unthank, The Navigator

“There are like ten different directions I would like to take my career and life. Too many to list.”

— Rafael Jovine, Vents Magazine

“Technically, it is the audience [that] makes the comedian funny, but the comedian has to be willing to put his communication, verbal or physical, out there.”

— Eliza Gale, Curve Wire

“Bon Jovi has helped me write universally. Don't get too specific so only a select few of the audience know what I'm talking about. Dave Attell helps me to 'just say it' and be blunt. I also enjoy the bizarreness of Tom Green and Sacha Baron Cohen.”

— AJ&DBS Interview, AJ&DBS Corporation

“The show began with heavy references to Lady Gaga's new music video, "You and I," shot in Nebraska, with bizarre scenes like her in a mermaid suit and her making out with herself. Wecksell said because of that video it was "mermaid country in Omaha."”

— Rosa Najera, UNO Gateway

“His comedy focused in on the more humorous aspects of college life. After singing a personal song about college shut-ins, he made a list of his top 10 things about Penn, such as the Penn Quidditch team. He had all the audience laughing after drawing comparisons between himself and his hero, Miley Cyrus.”

— Tony Xie, The Daily Pennsylvanian

“Campus Activities Magazine selected Wecksell as “Hot Comedian for 2009.” Last year he performed more than 100 shows, including stops at 50 colleges and a showcase selection for NACA's Mid-Atlantic Festival. ”

— Wendy Townley, UN-Omaha News Release

"Long Island, its people and its streets are so dear to my heart," Wecksell said. "After taking time off following [the] New York [City Marathon], it was time to get back on the horse and once again put in the miles and energy towards Fight For Kids."

— Jessica Ablamsky, The Great Neck News

“In 2009, he ran the ING New York City Marathon in 3:37 beating over 80 percent of the field.”

— Danny Pitt Stoller, Great Neck Record

“The comedian, who describes himself as more of a wise-cracker than a class clown, always had witty things to say growing up. He attributes much of his sense of humor to both his mother and father.”

— Len Mahonski, Williamsport Sun Gazzette

“Having an event that was truly fun and entertaining without having to leave the comfort of our house and having a couple of good laughs was refreshing. And those laughs were provided by none other than Greek alum, Evan Wecksell.”

— Brooke Murphey, The Odyssey Online (Michigan State)

"Another fan favorite was Wecksell's rendition of stories from www.fmylife.com. Students in attendance provided their own stories true to the spirit of the website..."

— Krystle Holleman, The Michigan Times

“My main influence is actually Jon Bon Jovi. That's how I started playing guitar, and the comedy thing didn't happen until a few years after. I kind of want to be a funny Bon Jovi.”

— Kathleen Quigley, Tan and Cardinal

“Your performance received rave reviews from everyone who attended! I still hear congratulations for bringing you to MSJ.”

— Campus Activities Board, College of Mount St. Joseph's

"I laughed so hard at his show, I was in tears!"

— Black Hills State University

"Evan is incredibly smart, charismatic and hysterical on stage. He is so easy to deal with, which is crucial in the comedy business... His comedy is original and he gets the job done."

— Jessica Kirson, Gotham Comedy Club

"Your show was awesome. You really need to come back for another."

— Rowan University

“Because he'd spent time with students, his jokes had more of an inside feel to them, rather than just poking fun at different WU groups.”

— Sara Andres, The Journal

"Wecksell has a twisted mind, and a good sense of melody. I admire both of those traits."

— Richard Hughes, Long Island Music Coalition

".... the Stephen Lynch of the Long Island music scene."

— Aural Fix Magazine

"I haven't laughed like that in months."

— SUNY Stony Brook

“Wecksell serenaded those in attendance with songs about cougars (not the animal), emo music, kids who are always on the internet and his personal hero, Miley Cyrus.”

— Chris Hoskavich, The Eagle Eye

"Evan Wecksell is a one-of-a-kind comedian and singer/songwriter. Every show is spontaneous and his visual expressions are something you don't want to miss. Very few performers can pull off what Evan does naturally - Pure entertainment!"

— Larry Oakes, NYSongwriters.com

"Thanks for coming out and doing the show for us tonight! It was awesome!"

— Missouri State University

"Everyone loved it. Perkins says thanks for writing a song about him, haha."

— Hampden-Sydney College

“I search for newer, younger comedians. I thought he was really funny, and we contacted his agency to book him.”

— Neil Gough, The Alestle

"Great performance!!! Love to have you back!"

— James Madison University

"His facial expressions are priceless!"

— UCLA Radio

"Definitely an awesome show. I laughed my a** off!"

— Bryant University

“Besides the comedy-music routine that most recently gained fame on America’s Got Talent, Wecksell is performing in College the Musical: A Musical About College, a full-length musical comedy he co-wrote with his wife and fellow performer Kelly Meyersfield.”

— Danny Pitt Stoller, Great Neck Record
