"We had the pleasure of hosting Larry Weaver as our keynote speaker, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment he stepped on stage, the room was alive with laughter, energy, and a sense of connection that only a truly gifted speaker can create. What set Larry apart was his ability to weave heartfelt messages about embracing positivity and finding joy even in adversity through the lens of humor. His stories were relatable and personal, and his message was both inspiring and refreshingly genuine. He didn’t just talk about positivity, he demonstrated it. Every joke carried insight, and every laugh felt like a step toward perspective and resilience. The balance between humor and heartfelt moments was masterful. Audience feedback was enthusiastic, and attendees left feeling recharged, hopeful, and more open to seeing the good in both everyday situations and life’s bigger challenges. It was a keynote we’ll be talking about for a long time. If you’re looking for a speaker who can inspire while entertaining, and leave your audience with both a smile and a renewed sense of purpose, Larry Weaver is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!"
"Everyone had a wonderful time. I received a lot of comments of how they enjoyed the session. A few of the people I talked to said it has been the best they have seen in some time. I actually had a director ask me about Larry for something they are going to do! Thanks for all the humor, the belly laughs and in some cases tears from laughing so hard."
"After the seriousness that we had been through with our facilities and going through the pandemic we needed some comic relief and Larry certainly provided it! He had great stories that he could relate to our organization and work we do with students with special needs. He had lots of laughs and gave us lots of inspiration throughout his Keynote presentation. I appreciated the ease of working with him from first contact to his presentation. He made sure to find out what our organization is about and who the audience was so that he could tailor his performance to fit what we needed. The feedback from the attendees was quite positive and I heard people talking about his presentation throughout our conference. Definitely would recommend Larry to have at any event that you may have!"
"Larry provided a refreshing, delightful session at our Nurse Leadership meeting. He was exactly what we were seeking with wit and humorous observations on daily interactions, relationships, and the current situation. We challenged Larry to create “belly laughs” with good clean humor. Wow! did he deliver!! The room was so attentive! We didn't see anyone take their eyes away from him except to wipe away the tears from laughter! We appreciate the ease of communicating and his accountability in timeliness, confirmations, and engagement with our team. We highly recommend using Larry for your next event."

The presentation was funny with just the right amount of interaction with the guests. I think it's amazing that he can zero in on the feel from the audience and know just who to pick on, like our Winchester folks. I also appreciate him customizing 'Twas the night before Christmas' using our peculiar little stories. That was a big hit with everyone. It was our first experience with a comedian and we were all very happy with the outcome. Thanks so much."
