"Mr. Weaver was very professional!! He was easy to communicate with, showed up on time and was ready to perform. He was very aware of our time constraints we were working with and his performance was VERY well attended. He captured our audience from his first words and never let us go!! We appreciated his humor (nothing was off topic or random) and his flow of thought. He was very professional but also personal. His stories struck a chord with our attendees and his jokes very appropriate. I enjoyed his performance and would highly recommend him in the future."

"After the seriousness that we had been through with our facilities and going through the pandemic we needed some comic relief and Larry certainly provided it! He had great stories that he could relate to our organization and work we do with students with special needs. He had lots of laughs and gave us lots of inspiration throughout his Keynote presentation. I appreciated the ease of working with him from first contact to his presentation. He made sure to find out what our organization is about and who the audience was so that he could tailor his performance to fit what we needed. The feedback from the attendees was quite positive and I heard people talking about his presentation throughout our conference. Definitely would recommend Larry to have at any event that you may have!"

"We appreciate Larry Weaver’s performance at our annual winter manager’s meeting. The humor used throughout the show was spot on and definitely what was needed by our hard-working managers. Quite a few managers told me how much they enjoyed the performance and commented on the relevance to our industry and the message of how to improve ourselves personally and professionally. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with Larry before and after the performance and the excellent communication during the process leading up his show."

"Larry provided a refreshing, delightful session at our Nurse Leadership meeting. He was exactly what we were seeking with wit and humorous observations on daily interactions, relationships, and the current situation. We challenged Larry to create “belly laughs” with good clean humor. Wow! did he deliver!! The room was so attentive! We didn't see anyone take their eyes away from him except to wipe away the tears from laughter! We appreciate the ease of communicating and his accountability in timeliness, confirmations, and engagement with our team. We highly recommend using Larry for your next event."
