What people say about this show:

“I highly recommend Nick as a speaker. It is clear that a life-time of standing in front of an audience and performing makes Nick a “natural” for communicating ideas and information in the more formal setting of a lecture theatre, or as an after dinner speaker.” – Dr Ian Griffith (President – The Skeptics Association)

“Thank you for entertaining our corporate guests so well recently. We will certainly take the opportunity to engage you again and I thank you for your dedication to delivering an outstanding performance.” – Trish Kench (National Museum Australia)

“There are cons at every turn: infomercials, credit card fraud, even Nigerian pyramid schemes. Australia’s most cunning entertainer, Nicholas J. Johnson has mastered them all!” -Miranda Tetlow (Triple J)

“Nicholas J. Johnson is as good a laugh as he is a con man.”
– Herald Sun
