Download PDFLarry 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!
