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.

Thank you so much for being our Keynote Speaker for our conference. Your stories and humor made the group feel very at ease, and adding humor to the presentation enabled all of us to see the other side of the equation. You gave us the avenue to show how humor can be applied to our daily situations. Thank you again!!

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!
