"I keep thinking about how awesome you are with the audience. You are extremely rare in your abilities with the crowd. Your sense of comic timing is astounding! And so is your ability to read people and groups. You know exactly what to say and how to react. I am in awe of how skilled you really are! I think [since I'm your husband and live with you,] I get to see more of the self-deprecating A-E and less of the skilled professional improv artist that you are which makes those 'Jane' moments so impactful!"
[Tom is my husband, but he's also a brilliant performer and artist himself, so his testimonial should definitely count.]

Wicked Shout-Out from Improv Wizard Deanna Antony
"I was just thinking about how electric it was to run into you and Tom Charney with guest. I think I became borederline obnoxious on the ride home with my friend Christie, as I said different variations of 'That was so crazy cool we ran into them' about every 15 min. I was replaying that moment and every other magical moment you are attached to in my thought-feeling memories on constant loop. This is the over due thanks. Being someone in my life saga, who rattles and shakes and indents on areas I wasn't even aware of. Someone who sticks around in your cells long after the time has past and reminds you of how everything is connected and how much fun life is/can be if you let. it.Thanks for being magical. I hope you are having many adventures of the very best kind."
Smashing Compliment from Patron Dean Ogren
"Was my first time at the Faire and I had a marvelous time, in part I am sure due to you. Thanks for the nice pin for my shirt. I now have it in my office in New Jersey. I was also delighted to see that you are hawking tasteful togs, I bought a raglan sleeve shirt for myself and my friend who is a great fan as well. You were famous with him. We are waiting for the results, and I have reminded him that he made a promise to you to send a copy. Be watching for it. And finally we love the smoking dress. Smashing."
Extreme Kindness from Phoole Friend Jamie Grado
"I just wanted to let you know how much that we enjoy all that Jane the Phoole does to enhance your faire; here is a copy of a letter that I sent to her personally not so long ago: 'Jane, I just want to thank you so much for participating with the letterboxers; I want to thank you so much for treating my daughter and others with such wonderful kindness; you are a real sweetheart and adored by many, you stay kind and take of yourself always!' Ya know, we are usually in the parking lot each day of faire when Jane comes to the stage on top of the gate, and my daughter's face lights up every time and says, 'Comeon comeon! There's Jane! Hurry!' Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter."
Generous Niceness from Patron Jim Dohr
"Jane the Phoole is THE BEST! Every time I saw her she was not only entertaining, she was down-right funny. Her bubbly personality makes her a joy to be around."
Sweet Somethings from FeastOfFools.net's Miz Ronnie!
"I will be recording a show on Wednesday, and it will be on the web on Thursday again, www.feastoffools.net. I would like to thank you so much for your cooperation (you came across the camera beautifully)! It was wonderful meeting you; you have such a Beautiful energy; interviewing you was a pure joy, so Thank you for being so giving...Please stay in touch and if you're ever in Chicago, please let me know; we would love to tape a show with you!"
High Praise from Patron Carole Burns
"Dear Jane, I just want to tell you that you are my idol. I have been involved in theater since 3rd grade and have done everything from act to direct - yet I can't bring it upon myself to do improv. My son, James has been in the St. Michael's guilde for the past 2 years and really wants me to become a part of the faire - but I could never live up to the fantastic people he works with. I really enjoy attending the faire and have become quite the 'jane stalker' because I love watching your antics and am amazed at how easy you make it seem. Thank you for being such a wonderful person and reminding me to live 'outside the box' again! Someday I will return to my love - the theater - but until then I can enjoy living in the walls of the faire and watching my idols rule the day."
