The show bills itself as clean, storytelling comedy by “America’s Funniest Cops”. When asked about their style, “There are a lot of unique qualities to our show and style”, said Joey. One uniqueness of the show is that it’s a comedy duo, something that has not been the norm in recent years. Another, is that it’s not the quick one-liner type nor insulting comedy.
“We perform a show that is quality for all ages and uplifting too”, said Dan. Both are very proud of their service as police officers and their Christian faith. “We draw our stories and routines from real situations that we experienced both on and off the force”, said Joey. Reviews of past shows have quotes like, “Not really standup comedy. More like sit back relax and spend some time with great friends that are hilarious”, “Funny, Real-life comedy”, “Not the corny yuk, yuk comedy”,
“A show that’s proud of their American roots and clean for the entire family”.
