Theater Manager, Liberty Hall

Clean Comedian in Paris, TN

"Larry Weaver was fantastic! Booking was easy and the results of our fundraiser was very positive. Larry connected very well with the crowd and had them laughing all evening long! We are already considering next years event - and we'll go with Larry."

Executive Director, Paris-Henry County Arts Council

Magician and Mentalist in Statesboro, GA

"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, Averitt Center for the Arts

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

Clean Comedian in Holly Springs, NC

"Larry was absolutely wonderful! Due to COVID mass gathering restrictions, we had to reschedule AND move the venue outside, but Larry stuck with us the entire time and created an amazing line-up for us. Our audience really loved Larry's performance and appreciated the outdoor modifications to the show. I highly recommend booking Larry Weaver for your next comedy performance series - we most certainly will!"

Manager, Holly Springs Cultural Center

Comedian in Holly Springs, NC

"Andy Beningo was a gigantic success with our theatre! He sold out the venue faster than any other comedian and had the audience rolling with laughter through the entire performance. I would 100% recommend Andy to any other theatre looking to book a quality comedic performance. We’ll definitely be asking for him to return to Holly Springs soon!"

Manager, Holly Springs Cultural Center

Everything was 5 star- performance, communication, audience -- everything."
