"We were so happy that Tim and John Branyan were able to do 2 shows for us on Saturday night. We would have had a lot of disappointed people if we hadn't added that 2nd show, because both houses were packed. John was a great addition... Awesome show!"
- Cindy Beals, Vincennes University, Vincennes, IN
"Tim played to a packed house of anxious fans, and it was fun watching the contorted faces as they laughed at every joke and every song. Tim is a favorite at Woodland, and we truly enjoy his sick humor. In times such as this, he is still able to make us laugh at ourselves. God has truly blessed his gift."
- Tina Yoder, Woodland the Community Church, Bradenton, FL
"The sold out crowd was worn out with laughter..."
- LuAnn Jones, FBC Maryville (IL)

- Jason Cooper, Miamisburg (OH) Assembly of God

- Ken Mitchell, Johnston Comm. College Performing Arts, Smithfield, NC
"I came across your 'Full Range of Motion' back in the summer of 2009, and my son bought me the DVD for my birthday. The next month, my 26-year-old daughter was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. She has two little girls (3 and 6). Four days after her 27th birthday, she had a double mastectomy. She is now undergoing chemotherapy and will soon start on Round 2 with a very aggressive trial medication. I want you to know that when the reality of the situation closes in on me, or when I need an escape for a little while, I will pop the DVD in and watch you. I know it must be hard to know if what you are doing is making a difference to anybody. I think we all feel that way from time to time. But please know that God is using you. Through your comedy, you have given me much-needed laughs during a time when I thought I couldn't laugh. I was blessed to be able to attend your show on Nov 6, and I can not tell you when I have laughed so much. It was such a wonderful show. Thank you again for allowing God to use you through your comedy. Ministry comes in many different forms. Yours is in your sense of humor. I will be praying a 'hedge of protection' around you and your whole family. :) "
- Sammie Parrish, North Carolina
"Make sure your seats are covered in plastic."
- Tim Harlow, Parkview Christian Church, Orland Park, IL
"If there was a Hall of Fame for comedians, Tim's bust would one day be in Canton. To be funny, you need a broad range of understanding about life. That's why I think Tim is a comedic genius. He understands both sides of his topic, and then he uses facial expressions, altered voices, guitar, song, body language, and even his microphone as a prop to convey humor. His skill at communicating with all age groups in one concert is unmatched."
- Mark Ellis, Rainbow Forest Baptist Church, Troutville, VA
"Tim came in and rocked 2 shows. He gave his all for 1300+ people, and they left with their jaws hurting. It is one of the few events where all age groups can enjoy cutting edge but clean comedy."
- Michael Moore, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Colonial Heights, VA
"Last night was a blast! The buzz around the base about Tim is electric."
- Chaplain Dan Warf, Luke Air Force Base, AZ
"I was in the hospital with an abnormal heart rhythm. The hospital had a comedy channel. I spent part of the night watching your comedy. I felt it was one of several things that helped me make through the night."
- N.J., Wisconsin
"... A great night... truly awesome... snorting, whooping, hollering, full on laughter. A comedy night with Tim Hawkins is a great stress reliever!"
- Cindy Hewitt, Cornerstone Baptist Church, Darlington, SC
"My daughter is in remission and on the road to recovery, and this was like a new start for her. Please tell Tim how much Friday in Indiana meant to her. She had so many things she wanted to say to him couldn't because she was afraid she would cry. I appreciate Tim so much because he has helped me cope with her illness and to beat this with laughter and not tears. Thank you for making my daughter so happy for the last 7 months during her difficult time, and for continuing to fill me with laughter in the difficult times ahead."
- C.T., Indiana
"For a small university to sell out 2 back-to-back shows speaks volumes for Tim's comedic ability. The energy on campus was refreshing!"
- Sarah Zimmerman, Philadelphia Biblical University
"If sweat is a measure of comedic genius, then Tim is the funniest guy ever."
- Shane Hill, The MetroCenter, Arlington, TX
"Tim needs to be cloned. He is a one-of-a-kind talent. He had 3500 people standing and begging for more. I have hired over 50 of the best comedians in the nation, and Tim is at the top of the list. Outrageous, appeals to all ages, and a class act... before, during, and after the show."
- Dr. Tim Coldiron, Promise Village Home for Children, Davisburg, MI
"My family has enjoyed hours of Tim's YouTube videos, but none of us were prepared for what we experienced in his live concert. We laughed, literally, until it hurt! One bit after another hit its perfect mark. His sense of comedic timing was impeccable, and he seemed to know the audience well. I can't recommend Tim more enthusiastically!"
- Chris Zaugg, Keynote ...a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ

"If a merry heart does good like a medicine, then Tim is an overdose."
- Gregory and Jackie Pope, Covenant Church, Douglas, GA

- Jen Linskens, Lifest, Appleton, WI
"Tim ain't much to look at, and I think his mamma dropped him on his head one too many times... but the guy has to be one of the funniest men on this planet. He had 6000 students and youth leaders begging for more by the end of our two day conference."
- Leighton Flowers, Baptist General Convention of Texas
"I have learned my lesson. The next time we bring Tim back, I will wear an adult diaper... Best comedian I have ever seen!"
- Matt Helmintoller, Calvary Chapel Melbourne (FL)

- Emi Gragnani, Chick-fil-A, Atlanta, GA
"Tim definitely brought it! Everyone was buzzing the next day..."
- Jenn Petersen, Collin Creek Community Church, Plano, TX

- Dr. Dennis Rainey, Host of FamilyLife Today
"...we had a thunderstorm watch and we had to go in a closet to be safe and my sister was very scared... my brother said 'just think of tim hawkins' and we all laughed about it and all this just happened 4 minutes ago... it was so funny."
- C.L, North Carolina
"Was at the show tonight. Wanted you to know that we brought a dear friend along with her husband and 18 year old son. The son has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. They have been going through a very rough patch with medication changes that leave him either aggressive and defiant or a zombie. They were not sure how he would do at the show, and they were concerned that they might have to leave partway through. I want you to know this: I have not seen that family laugh so hard in a LONG time. Even the son was doubled over at times. You have no idea what a blessing you were to that family tonight. Thank you God for laughter! And thank you, Tim... really... what a great night."
- A.B., Texas
"Think about this: Tim plays in 2 churches, 1 week apart, 15 miles from each other in Dayton, Ohio... and both events are sellouts with 1600 people. He can fill a venue. People love his music, his stand-up, and his energy. Hard to imagine a comedian so clean and so funny."
- Terry Hawk, New Path Food Pantry fundraiser event, Tipp City, OH
"There were (I'm not kidding) people down on the floor laughing. I was afraid we might get sued."
- JC Slone, Beavercreek (OH) Church of the Nazarene

- Philip Raubinger, Central Church of the Nazarene, Flint, MI
"In a word... INCREDIBLE! Tim Hawkins is the funniest man in the universe, and he never sounds the same twice. What an amazing talent."

- Ben Arment, Catalyst Conferences
"Tim is the Michael Phelps of comedy... every performance is the best in the world. He is a comedic genius."
- J.T. Robinson, Chick-fil-A, Atlanta, GA
"I just wanted to let you know how much you ministered to me. On Feb 21, my mother very unexpectedly fell over dead. In the days to follow, life as I had known it stood still. One night I was having trouble sleeping (go figure) so I turned on the TV and found you. I laughed so hard that night, and I needed it. Aren't you glad God isn't limited by our expectations but allows Himself to be glorified in any situation? Thank you, and keep up the great work."
- B.N., Ohio
"... a tremendous success..."
- Trey Miller, Life Church, Mobile, AL
"... 1 night, 2 amazing shows... Seriously, I could not stop crying from laughing. I brought a few girlfriends who echo that as well. Tim's mannerisms, creativity, delivery, content, and downright hilarity far exceeded expectations. And the fact that he shared the realness of his family's struggles was truly icing on the cake. I can only hope we might bring him back for 2 or even - dare to dream - 3 more sold out shows in the future."
- Caroline Becker, Beavercreek (OH) Church of the Nazarene
"Previous artists in our First Inspiration Concert Series have included Sandi Patty, Wayne Watson, The Dallas Symphony Chorus, and Mozart's Requiem. To end the year with Tim Hawkins was a big step outside of our box... but it paid off in a big way. An overflow crowd of 1600+ was hanging on Tim's every word and, by the end of the night, aching from laughter. Tim is an amazing comedian with the gift of holding a large audience hostage. The only problem is that he won't let you come up for air. You are literally laughing out loud from the moment he steps on stage. This concert series is to be inspirational, diverse, fresh, and new. I have never invited anyone to return, but we have found the exception with Tim Hawkins. His following is too big to ignore."
- Michael Lightfoot, First United Methodist Church, Richardson, TX
"Tim rocks! He is one-of-a-kind hilarious. He knows how to play the crowd, and you don't have to worry about inappropriate language or material. My children from 9 to 16 are his biggest fans, and my wife has never laughed so hard. It made me the hero at home."
- Mike McDaniel, Grace Point Church, Bentonville, AR
"Dear Tim, This is a note of deep thanks and appreciation from my entire family. You are an amazing, much needed gift... Things haven't been smooth sailing these days, but laughter brings healing and freedom. And you make us roll on the floor! Now my husband, kids, and I have certain catch phrases... My kids know to straighten up when we say 'No pots in heaven' or 'I'll feed you to the fire ants', and my 19 year old likes to sing 'I work at Subway' to his younger friends who don't want to continue their education. We've watched 'Now I lay me down to sleep' about 500 times and laugh each time like we've just discovered it. AND you'll hear my kids say 'squeeze' after praying in church! God bless you and your family. We've prayed for you all many, many times. Blessings!"
- J.L, North Carolina
"Just wanted to say that my 9 year old daughter, who is autistic, loves Tim's songs. She has heard them on YouTube and plays them over and over again. I am planning to buy her a CD as soon as I can. She doesn't laugh at much, but she especially loves the Homeschool Family song. She is home schooled. Thanks for making her happy, and keep up the good work you're doing."
- Y.J., United Kingdom
"Dateline - Seattle Washington - March 28: Sacred Cows Slaughtered... Tim brought all new stuff for a 3rd straight year. Who knew the comedy well of church ministry was so deep? TIM did!"
- Gary Dixon, Northwest Ministry Conference, Redmond, WA
"Fantastic... wacky... relevant..."
- Tim Oakley, Damascus (OR) Christian School
"Hi Tim - We had a BLAST at your show Friday night. I didn't realize how much I needed to laugh. It was truly theraputic for me and a lot of other people. And our 10 year old daughter had as much fun as we did. She has your autographed picture on her wall."
- N.Z., Olympia, WA
"In the true spirit of March Madness, Tim's '3-peat' for our foundation scored big points with the fans. His quick wit and musical parodies sent the laughter into overtime. Tim definitely gave us another slam dunk!"
- Sheri Wall, Live It Foundation, Killeen, TX
"I haven't heard so many gut laughs from our school staffers ever! Everyone absolutely loved Tim and have raved about him all week. I couldn't believe how many people bought DVDs that night!"
- Carolyn Pandol, Bakersfield (CA) Christian High School
"Last year I saw Rush, Def Leppard, The Police, and Van Halen... none of which compared to the entertainment that Tim brought us. His brand and style allowed us to easily invite anyone and everyone. I would go see Tim again long before any of the previous bands... and I love Van Halen!"
- Marty Benedict, Snoqualmie Valley Alliance Church (WA)
"Tim is not a typical Christian comedian. He's a great comedian who happens to be a Christian."
- Jeffrey Reed, Hillside Christian Church, Amarillo, TX
"Given all the negativity we have in the world today, it's awesome to have Tim around to help you forget that for a couple of hours. Thanks, Tim, and I look forward to seeing you again in AZ soon!"
- C.P., Florence, AZ
"Tim took a haywire sound system and turned it into part of his show without skipping a beat. What a pro! Tim can and will use anything to get a laugh!"
- Tracy Blacketer, Grace Community School, Tyler, TX
"With a world of talent, a wickedly funny sense of humor, and a family-friendly approach to comedy, Tim is just so incredibly refreshing and tremendous fun. But please tell me that there really is a 'KidsRock' CD in the works?! We were laughing so hard, my son snorted milk out of his nose. Priceless."
- Jennifer Lengyel-Royal (and a host of family and friends), Wayne, MI
"Our sold out show was a blast. Tim was entertaining and gracious, and he took lots of time after the show to talk to people and sign autographs. Mostly he was just hilarious..."
- Stephen Labbe, Bethel Baptist Church, Galesburg, IL
"Blown away."
- Brian Mele, Sundowner International, Chicago, IL
"Just a note of thanks for last year's Killeen TX visit and excitement about this year's show. My mom had just passed away a few weeks before and I really didn't even know why I was there. Tim's comedy helped me to laugh out loud and relieve so much pent up stress. During this past year (today is the 1 year anniversary) my daughter and I have watched the videos again and again. Any time we feel a little low, Tim has helped us laugh it up and think about how much Mom would have enjoyed him too!"
- J.K., Nolanville, TX
"I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for a great night of comedy last Saturday. It was so nice to be able to take my wife and son out for an evening of clean yet hilarious comedy. It was also a great distraction. My wife's mother passed away last March, and Valentine's Day would have been her 68th birthday. The concert was definitely uplifting to my wife on what could have been an otherwise depressing day. It was great to see her shedding tears from laughing so hard instead of crying. So THANKS, Tim, for cheering up our family. GOD BLESS YOU BIG TIME!"
- W.H., Pekin, IL
"Tim just keeps getting better. I love watching people who have never seen him before and have no idea what they are in for. Tim is the best, and we love having him."
- Elisa Mitchell, NorthEast Christian Church, Lexington, KY
"Not only is Tim the funniest person we know, but he is also so gracious. He was great to our audience, and he really indulged my family - meeting them, taking a picture... It really meant a lot to my kids, and we now have more 'Tim quotes' that they're using!"
- Kathy King, WCTL Radio, Erie, PA
"We do a quarterly event for married couples, and we inevitably get some sort of negative feedback. Not this time! Tim blew everybody away. We received a lot of feedback... and finally it was all good!"
- Tim Peters, WoodsEdge Community Church, Spring, TX
"Dear Tim: My wife and I attended your concert on Saturday, and we laughed until our sides and faces hurt. This was a much needed release for the both of us. In September 2007, our 5 year old son was diagnosed with Luekemia. He continues to battle against the disease, and we see God's hand everyday. I just wanted to let you know how much my wife and I needed a night to just laugh. Thanks so much for what you do."
- D. L., Erie, PA
"There's no mercy. Tim didn't give us any time to recover. Just as you finish wiping tears away, your eyes well up again. You can't help but love the guy. Tim, you better buy a warmer coat, because you can plan on a return trip to South Dakota!"
- Ryan Brosious, Brookings Wesleyan Church, Brookings, SD
"Incredible night. I brought 6 first-time people, and they loved every second of it. Coach Jones said he bought tickets to Larry The Cable Guy and said 'there is no way he is funnier than Tim Hawkins'.
- Marlon Longacre, NorthStar Church, Kennesaw, GA
"Wow, did the city of Washington, Missouri, find a treasure! The attendees are still laughing. You need to bring a box of Kleenex and a bucket to his show. Tim creates a comedy masterpiece: he starts with a blank canvas and adds his own touch of color to create a real work of art that connects directly with the audience. I don't think I can ever bring another comedian to our town. All I have heard is 'When is he coming back?'"
- Katina Ohmes, Washington (MO) High School
"Tim was hilarious! I can't tell you how many people came in the next day and said their face was sore from laughing so hard. They said it was our best party ever."
- Jill Osborne, CenterState Bank of Florida
"Thank you, Tim, for your brand of clean comedy. It has enabled me to show my teenage sons REAL comedy. I also want to thank you for bringing a smile to my special needs son. You crack him up. Some days that is hard to do. He has a rare syndrome that has left him non-verbal. But he can still LAUGH! I'm glad God gave him that. Come to Kansas City soon. You have lots of fans here. From one happy father..."
- T.S., Kansas City, MO
"Tim, I saw your act for the first time last night at our church's Couples Night Out, and I can honestly say I have never laughed so hard in all my life! With the current economic crisis (and all the stress, hardship and negativity that goes with it), it was so awesome to be able to escape it all for a couple hours and laugh 'til I cried! You are an unbelievable talent. Bravo."
- B.C., Acworth, GA
"We loved Tim! He made our Christmas event so memorable... far and away the best ever. Tim is 'pee your pants' funny, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house."
- Tracie Van Arnam, Puyallup (WA) Foursquare Church
"It is tough to make a room full of former fighter pilots and professional athletes roll on the floor in laughter, but Tim did it. Mission accomplished."
- Chad Hennings, Wingmen Ministries, Dallas, TX

- Randy Bezet, Bayside Community Church, Bradenton, FL
"Top quality, clean entertainment... You should be paying more! We've had more expensive talent come to our events, but everyone agreed that Tim was the best bargain out there. I don't know which was funnier: Tim's twisted comedy or the resulting snorts from the audience."
- Larry Pethick, Gordon Food Service, Shepherdsville, KY
"Nobody does it better or smarter than Tim. We've had him for 2 years running (3 sold out shows), and I can honestly say that my face hurt from laughing so hard. And it's a phenomenal way to reach out to your community and give them an incredible first impression of your church. Indeed a great success!"
- Nik Adwalpalker, The Mission Church, Holmes, NY
"It's one thing to watch and laugh at a DVD, but the live Tim Hawkins experience is like no other. He is a must see."
- Brett Reid, Camano Chapel, Camano Island, WA
"Tim just blew us away. I'm sure we will bring him back next year, and this time we will have boxes and boxes of Kleenex ready. People were crying."
- Scott Smith, Church of the Servant, Oklahoma City, OK
"Wow. What a night. We were able to temporarily check reality at the door and have the time of our lives."
- Clifton Slater, Christ Temple Church, Huntington, WV
"My friends and I just love him. He was hilarious at the Florida Pastors Conference. I have seen him several times, and I always laugh just as hard. I put him right up there with Jeff Foxworthy."
- Melanie Richards, Woodland Community Church, Bradenton, FL
"Tim is the strangest man I have ever met. I really mean that. A friend said he had to wring out his Depends after seeing Tim's performance at our Gala. That's a nasty picture."
- Craig Hutscal, Laugh for Life Gala, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
"Saturday night in Kemptville... Tim's career has taken off! What should have been 75 minutes of laughter turned into 1 hour and 45 minutes of hilarious, side-splitting, leg-crossing, could-have-stayed-longer, awesome FUN! Tim can come back anytime."
- Mark Parker, Southgate Community Church, Kemptville, Ontario, Canada
"The guy actually got a standing ovation from college students at a required convocation. He has been to our campus twice, and the students want to know when he is coming back."
- Chris Larsen, College of the Ozarks (MO)
"Tim was everything we expected and more... much more. One lady brought her husband who attends the church but never seems happy. She said he was laughing so hard he was crying, and that she had never seen him enjoy anything as much as Tim's concert. Those of us who work here are now quoting Tim and laughing. He brought a lot of joy to a community that hasn't seen a lot of it since battling through Hurricane Katrina 3 years ago. Thanks, Tim."
- Krystal Crawford, Cedar Lake Christian Assembly, Biloxi, MS
"We had over 600 people laughing from the moment Tim stepped on stage until he was done 90 minutes later. I overheard many people complaining that their faces were sore, and everyone from child to senior adult thought Tim was AWESOME! This was such a great night for both our own church family and for our brothers and sisters from all over. It was like one big family reunion... lots of laughing!"
- Tony Johnson, Hazel Dell Christian Church, Carmel, IN
"Don't eat too much before Tim goes on stage. You'll be in way too much pain to enjoy his show. The guy just kills me!"
- Mark McLaughlin, Watermark Community Church, Dallas, TX
"From the second he walks on the stage, you are splitting a gut... I have never heard our people laugh as hard and as solid as they did with Tim. Simply awesome!"
- Bob Thennis, SHEC Community Center, Missoula, MT
"I had to handle a lot of complaints from people whose jaws and stomachs were so sore that they could barely speak or breathe the following day. And can you believe it? Those masochists are demanding that we bring him back!"
- Rick Bundschuh, Kauai Christian Fellowship, Koloa, HI
"Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your stuff. Seriously. You have no idea how wonderful it's been to laugh so hard lately. I was diagnosed with terminal melanoma in May and now have 9 brain tumors. I am a 37 year old single mum to a 3 year old girl which makes it even harder. I want you to know that after a double craniotomy, brain radiation, chemo, and having only a few months to live, I still nearly laughed myself into a stroke at your songs and stand up. You are bloody marvelous. Thank you. Cheers mate!"
- Nicole W., NSW Australia
"Tim is a creative genius who caused 2 packed houses to HOWL! I mean everyone was loving it, and this was his 2nd time with us. I appreciated how much new stuff he had from 2 years ago. In fact, I saw both shows on the same night, and they each had their own material."
- Robbie Brooks, Shiloh Community Church, Phoenix, AZ
"So funny he makes you want to slap your momma..."
- John Hicks, Ichthus Ministries, Plano, TX
"I have never organized an event like the one Tim did for us. The entire crowd walked away holding their sides and faces, truly sore from laughing so much. I felt like at the end of the evening, we had given people, through Tim, the gift of joy through laughter that we are many times too busy to allow ourselves to experience. I watched some people I know that usually don't laugh about much of anything, laughing hysterically at all his antics. It just proves that you can be clean and funny all at the same time. We want him to do our next event. I'll arrange the entire schedule around him."
- Brenda Bailey, Ichthus Ministries, Plano, TX
"I was directing the video for the event, and I thought I was going to hurl on the video equipment. I was laughing and crying so hard that I could barely see my monitors through the tears. Tim was a riot."
- Wayne Covington, The Mission, Vacaville, CA
"What a success! I have been fielding calls and emails all weekend from people... still laughing!"
- Nicole Bradley, Christian Faith & Fellowship School, Ashburn, VA
"We are new residents at St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Our son Zak was diagnosed last week with a brain tumor. He loves your work. We are walking closely with the Lord through this journey, and we try to laugh right now as much as possible. I can't tell you how many times Zak has used your line 'I've got full range of motion' during visits with the doctor. On his first trip on a plane, we laughed together looking at puke bags. He also brought up the line 'use your tall finger if you need to'. Thank you so much for making us laugh during such a difficult time."
- J.D., New York
"I laughed so hard I tore something loose down in my nether-regions. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday."
- Ferrell Hardison, Whitley Church, Goldsboro/Princeton, NC
"People left event saying 'We HAVE to do this more often'. Tim was great."
- Tina Houser, First Church of God, Kokomo, IN
"What a blast. I thought I would be immune from the pain since I have heard Tim before, but my face hurt like everyone else in the room! Our folks are already asking when he is coming back... I guess an hour and a half of insane hysteria just wasn't enough."
- Diane Higgins, Hill Country Bible Church NW, Austin, TX
"Tim, we've been watching you on TV for a couple of years, and tonight we were able to see you live in concert with our family. I can't tell you what a blessing it was to laugh together! I attended with my parents and hubby and kids along with my sister-in-law and her kids. My brother didn't join us as he took off for Heaven just one month ago due to a heart attack. My brother loved comedy, too. It was great to see my sis laughing, even better to see my grouchy dad in full belly laugh, wiping tears away! Thanks for a great evening. We needed that kind of medicine - It really does do wonders! The woman who lives in the shoe with too many kids says again many thanks and God bless you."
- J.K., Indiana
"It was great fun to see a room full of serious educators completely lose it, dab their eyes as tears of laughter rolled down their cheeks, and wiggle in their seats because they didn't want to leave to go to the bathroom!"
- Roger Norrie, Association of Christian Schools Int'l, Vancouver, WA
"Tim, I saw you in concert last night. I just felt like I needed to tell you that I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed. I have been hit by several tragedies and losses in the last 18 months, and a friend called me and offered to take me to hear you. I have NEVER laughed that hard in my entire life, and I'm still laughing this morning. Thank you for bringing me out of the pit and giving me the gift of seeing the lighter side of life again. God knew that I needed it. You were awesome (except for the comments about people from my hometown - just kidding)! Thanks."
- D.B., Ohio
"It takes a special person to please my diverse group, and obviously Tim is just that: a 'special' person... I can't tell you how much we enjoyed his performance and would recommend him anytime to any audience."
- Jerry Friday, The Salvation Army, Atlanta, GA
"We had such a great time with Tim. We laughed so hard our faces were contorted by the end of the evening!"
- Janelle Steeber, New Life Family Services, Rochester, MN

- Lori Cotter, Sugarloaf U.M.C., Duluth, GA
"What a great night. Tim had all 900 people laughing hysterically for 2 hours. We could hardly catch our breath, and our jaw muscles were sore for days. And Tim is real: humble, easy to talk to, and not stuffy at all. He took the time to talk with our people - We really enjoyed his authenticity."
- Jay Richards, Rainbow Forest Baptist Church, Troutville, VA
"Tim is not right in the head... a HUGE success..."
- Trena Rambo, The Bridge Fellowship, Sugar Land, TX
"The doctor said I will eventually recover from my splitting sides! That is how I felt after seeing Tim Hawkins at the 2008 Children's Pastors Conference. He helped the CPC participants temporarily forget any problems they might have had, and we will definitely have him back."
- Judy Comstock, The International Network of Children's Ministry (INCM)
"It was a joy to have Tim here, and his comedy gave me an endorphin high!"

"Okay, my friend laughed so hard she popped her underwire... and my husband became Tim's 1st Canadian groupie. It's 2 days later and my ribs STILL hurt. God has blessed you - and your audiences - with your amazing ministry. You might want to consider adding a warning to your promo posters: 'Tim is not responsible for any personal injury caused by bursting underwires.' Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to Canada!"
