"Thank you for one of the most enjoyable and successful banquets we have had in the last few years. I cannot stress enough how important it was to have you come through for us after some disappointing performers in the past. We needed someone clean and funny. You promised us that and you came through on all counts. All board members were thrilled and the audience comments were all positive. Very funny material with local humor and audience participation making it all the more special. Thank You again. You helped restore our reputation as a family event. The Scott County Cattlemen’s Association will recommend you to everyone needing good clean entertainment!"
"Larry was easy to book, showed up on time, and got to know my customers by visiting with several of them before his performance. Farmers are a tough crowd but Larry had their attention from the start. I would recommend Larry to anyone."
"It was great having Larry perform at our banquet. He had people laughing all throughout his show. I even had some of the audience say they hadn't laugh that hard in a long time. His show was very clean and had a lot of humor to it. He also interacted with the crowd and even the young kids in the crowd. One complement I heard was actually on the radio the next morning, was the radio host said 'Larry was a guy that you would like to bring home and visit with, he just had that way of making you wanting to know more about him'."
"Our team loved Larry! He presenteda perfect mix of comedy and leadership. The audience was engaged the whole performance! Well done, Larry!"
"Larry provided a great motivational message to our group of store managers. His professionalism throughout the process was topnotch and his promptness / communication was much appreciated. I never had to worry about anything going wrong. Thanks for the great show!"
