"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."
