Download PDFLarry Weaver delivered an outstanding performance at our Annual Meeting and Christmas Party. He far exceeded my expectations, and had the entire crowd laughing throughout the show. As one of our new members was leaving the party, he was telling how much he enjoyed the show and he was still laughing as he headed to the parking lot. I received a lot of compliments regarding his show that night and also had some phone calls the following day telling me how good it was. We had people in the audience with ages ranging from early 30's to late 70's and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I really appreciated how he kept the program and jokes clean, it's a rarity these days to not have cursing or something that could be offensive to people. Larry is a class act.
We hired comedian Larry Weaver to perform at our regular meeting instead of the typical industry speaker. My fellow board members were very pleased with the festive mood, very appropriate rapport and humor with the audience, and willingness to draw names and mingle after the meeting. The members had FUN and that was the point. Thanks for making me look good.
