"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!"

After the show audience members thanked us for bringing him to the theater and I've since seen several of the attendees elsewhere and they all say how much fun they had.

"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!"

"Steve was great to work with. We had a really good turnout and the audience really enjoyed his performance."

Event Planner, Town of Cary

Magician and Mentalist in Saratoga, NY

"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, Saratoga Arts

Magician and Mentalist in Tyler, TX

Larry brought local color, humor of the South and a general good time to the stage. He was so professional - and best of all funny!"
