Trusted Reviews. Speakers you can rely on.

Comedian for Judson University

"I have received nothing but rave reviews about John. He did his homework to learn about our University before arriving and utilized the unique components of Judson in his routine. He even used a couple of pictures from our website and the students just loved the fun he poked at their university. Homecoming could be a unique challenge for a comedian as the audience is comprised of both current students as well as alumni from different generations. However, his humor was enjoyed by all as much of the jokes were personal to a common experience - Judson University. John arrived in advance of his scheduled time and took the opportunity to connect with some students as well as the Tech Producer for the event. John made sure that none of his jokes would be inappropriate by running some of them by me in advance of his performance. Needless to say, he was always appropriate, yet very funny."

Director of Alumni Relations, Homecoming
Comedian for Snead State Community College

Sales Director, Pearson Education, NCCCI Annual Meeting
Comedian for Southern Wesleyan University

"John was great to work with. He was friendly and professional, showed up early, and reminded me several times that he is flexible to work some things out. His show was hilarious and personal. He did his research and connected with our students personally. He rolled with the crowd well and kept people laughing. Some students came in skeptics, but left impressed. One student in particular came expecting to leave early, but stayed for the whole show due to how funny John was. After the show, John stuck around to meet students, take pictures, and speak with some of our leadership. I have already recommended him to another nearby college, and look forward to bringing him back here one day."

His excitement, positivity, and unique approach provided motivation to our attendees."

And from an event planners standpoint, he was a dream to work with. He was easy going, friendly, and on time. I would love to bring him back!"

Coordinator of Events, Campus Comedy Show
Comedian for Harding University

"The performance by John was great. We had 600 in attendance and John had them laughing from start to finish. John was top notch to work with. He contacted me weeks before the show date to get some "inside" information on our school. After he got that info, he called me to talk through some of the finer points of our traditions to make sure that the audience would "get the joke." I could tell from his questions that he knew what he was doing and that reassured me and helped with promotion. John used the right amount"

Director of Campus Life, Family weekend
Motivational Speaker for University of Michigan

"Larry was clear in providing a positive message and outlook while sharing comedy and funny stories. We had a large team right after lunch, but Larry was able to engage the room and keep everyone focused. Along with speaking, Larry had a great PowerPoint with images that were fun to look at. He also included funny awards that really engaged everyone. Larry was very easy to communicate with and always prompt with responses for any questions or commutations that needed attention. The booking process was easy. Overall, Larry was prompt, friendly, hilarious, and everything you could hope for with an inspirational speaker."

We also appreciated how he took the time after the show to talk to the students and spend time with them. I definitely recommend John."
