Biography

Jesse Cole, also known as “the guy in the yellow tuxedo,” is the founder of Fans First Entertainment and the owner of the world-famous Savannah Bananas as well as the Party Animals, Firefighters, and Texas Tailgaters. With the mantra “Fans First. Entertain Always,” the Bananas are on a mission to Make Baseball Fun by creating the Greatest Show in Sports.

The team has sold out every game since their inaugural season in Savannah and has since grown a ticket waitlist of more than 3 million fans from all over the world.

With more than 20 million social media followers and features on such outlets as The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, HBO Real Sports, and Access Hollywood in addition to Bananaland, a five-part documentary original series on ESPN+, the Savannah Bananas are just getting started.

Jesse is the proud inventor of the fastest and most entertaining game of baseball, Banana Ball. Banana Ball puts a fun twist on traditional baseball with new rules featuring a two-hour time limit, no walks, no bunting, no stepping out of the box, no mound visits, and best of all, if a fan catches a foul ball—it’s an out.

He is the not-so-proud promoter of the Grandma Beauty Pageant, the Human Horse Race, the Living Piñata, and Flatulence Fun Night.

In addition to the wildly successful Banana Ball, Jesse continues to create raving fans all over the world as a best-selling author of “Fans First, and Find Your Yellow Tux” and as a highly sought-after international keynote speaker for some of the world’s largest and most respected organizations.

Most of all, Jesse is a raving fan of his wife, Emily, his 3 kids, and peerless promoters like Walt Disney and PT Barnum.
