The Bonkerz Seal of Approval
Google defines Seal of Approval as a status or a recognition given to a product, service, or concept that meets certain criteria created by an organization or person.
The Bonkerz Seal of Approval is required before any comic can work for Bonkerz. These requirements include a commitment to professionalism, as well as providing a great experience for the audience. Bonkerz’ comics are given an itinerary for each venue that outlines show times, content requirements, contact information, lodging details and even a minimum time frame they must appear at the venue before the show.
Bonkerz’ comics typically work multiple Bonkerz venues every year. Some of our headlining comedians work as much as half of their calendar year just working for us. Their actions at each of our venues relates to their employment at all of our venues. Doing a good job in one location is how they earn the opportunity to work all of our locations. The converse is also true, so you can rest assured that the Bonkerz Seal of Approval is not easily earned and something that comics must maintain in order to perform at any and all Bonkerz locations.

His wife is a doctor so when he’s not touring he stays at home with his little girl. For this reason, Alton is considered the ultimate “trophy husband”. You can read all about his adventures on the road and at home with his daughter on the Trophy Husband Blog which is located on Alton’s website. Josh Alton started doing standup comedy as a 20-year-old Sophomore in college. His friends thought he was funny, so he went to the Des Moines, IA, Funny Bone Comedy Club open mic night, and gave it a shot. Josh was hooked, and soon quit college, and moved to Chicago in hopes of becoming a full time comic.
In the fall of 2003, the dream became a reality, and he was able to quit his job as a leasing agent, and started touring the road full time as a road comic. Josh Alton had some amazing, and unusual experiences working the road, and he has been able to travel to 40 different states during that time. In October, 2011, Josh and his wife welcomed their first child into the world, and life has taken yet another crazy turn. Her name is Emma, and she is the light of his life! His wife works as a nurse practitioner, and since he hasn’t made the big time just yet, she works during the week, and he is Mr. Mom. He likes to refer to himself as a trophy husband!
