Inspiring Speaker for Town of Cary

"Derrick gave an excellent performance. The crowd seemed to really enjoy him and we heard a lot of great things. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with."

Downtown Theater and Events Supervisor, Cary Theater Concert
Magician and Mentalist for Kirby Cultural Arts Complex

"Joshua was incredible! We sold double the tickets that we normally sell and the audience was so smitten! He was the nicest and easiest guy to work with and we are overjoyed at what a success the night was!"

Director, Kirby Theater Performance
Magician and Mentalist for Diana Wortham Theatre

"Joshua exceeded our expectations in all areas. He was overwhelmingly gracious in all aspects from booking to marketing to outreach to performance. The almost sold out audience loved him and his ability to connect with crowd. It was one of the easiest and most satisfying shows yet this season. We highly recommend this performance to other Performing Arts Presenters. You won't be disappointed!"

Associate Director, Mainstage Series
Comedienne for Holly Springs Cultural Center

"Leslie and Michelle were both fantastic – on time for call, great to communicate with to prep for the show, connected with the audience well. We are 100% satisfied!"

Manager, HSCC Comedy Concert
Magician and Mentalist for The ArtsCenter

"Joshua is an amazing performer. His show was funny, personal, engaging, mezmerizing and thoroughly magical! Every show was a sell out and that speaks volumes to his work as a performer. Word of mouth spread like wildfire with the basic refrain being 'You can't miss this show!'"

Artistic Director, Concert Series
Magician and Mentalist for Averitt Center for the Arts

"WOW!!! Joshua was amazing, not only in his stage show but as an intelligent and kind person. He took great care with both children and adults alike. Great interaction with audiences….of all ages. Amazing stage presence. Good sense of humor, great voice, super timing. Just a fantastic show! What really impressed me was the way he came into our lobby after the show and talked with the fans, signed autographs, smiled for pictures and even "was amazed" by a child's magic trick. Even though the crowd was small, he performed like he was in front of a full house. We would love to have him back in the future."

Deputy Director, Theater Show
Magician and Mentalist for Chuck Mathena Center

"We brought Joshua in to perform a public show for us because I saw him perform a few years ago and he just blew my mind. We sold almost 600 tickets, and we were thrilled with his performance. He was wonderful."

Executive Director, Concert
Comedian for Baker Arts Center

"This was SO-O-O fun and the comedian you recommended was a delight. Very funny and an audience pleaser. We have had wonderful feedback from our members."

Program Coordinator, Fundraiser
Clean Comedian for Carysbrook Center for the Performing Arts

"Larry Weaver "had" the audience right from the beginning. He easily incorporates local items in a way that the audience appreciates and relates to. Audience laughter was almost constant and they enjoyed their interaction with Larry. Would not hesitate to hire him again."

President, Clean Comedy Concert
Magician and Mentalist for Saratoga Arts

"Joshua drew standing room only crowds for each of his three fabulous acts and audience members who had chosen to stand in line for an hour to see him said it was all worth the wait. Josh was gracious and easy to work with in advance of the performances and even agreed to tailor one of his shows to help a young man make a surprise proposal to his girlfriend, which was amazing and touching to watch- truly the definition of "magic". Certainly we will love to have this performer back and in a bigger venu"

Coordinator, First Night Saratoga
Clean Comedian for Town of Cary

"Larry Weaver brought the house down at The Cary with our first sold out comedy show! We had to turn people away at the door. He brought in amazing talent and provided a wonderful evening's entertainment. This was a great addition to our regular comedy series!"

Downtown Theater and Events Supervisor, Cary Theater Concert
Magician and Mentalist for Liberty Hall

"Joshua was amazing!! Such a nice guy. His magic was mesmerizing and freaked us all out! Everyone was entertained and we will want to have him come and visit again for sure!"
