Viggo is one of the sexiest and funniest comedians I have ever seen. He's far from an idiot. He's sharp, witty, adorable, sincere and sensitive. Love him! This was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

I've been looking to watch more Viggo on line which obviously brought me here. Not just anybody could do the vest bit. Viggo has a great sense of rhythm and control over his body. Somehow he's both totally ridiculous and very sexy at the same time. I suspect that under the 26 layers of vest there's a keen intellect. So hopeful of more from Viggo Venn.

He is the most creative, unique, genius, natural, humorous comedian, artist, and actor. Perfectly timing his crowd interaction and sparking with blooming joy while enthusiastically expressing his love for his audience. That all they want is more. 🦺
