Cultural Arts Program Director, Kirby Theater

Comedian in Wadesboro, NC

"Our audience was so thrilled with Matt, that they have asked me to bring him back. He is funny, musical and keeps the audience involved throughout the entire show. Even our ushers were dancing in the back of the theater. I definitely intend to have him back whenever our schedules will let us. Nice clean fun and jokes - no curse words, something for the entire family to spend the evening. He arrived just when he said he would so that our tech could go over everything with him. He was a delight."

Theater Committee Chair, Ansonia Theatre

Magician and Mentalist in Spokane, WA

"Joshua was an amazing addition to our New Year's Eve program! We have had nothing but rave reviews of his performance, and many inquiries if he will be returning next year. He was a joy to work with from start to finish, as he truly brought his A game to the table. I especially appreciated him coming with me at 7AM to do a last minute TV interview when I woke him up at 6:40. He really was team a player every step of the way. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for the real deal."
