Midwest Speakers and Comedians

Comedienne in Morton, MN

"Leslie Norris Townsend has a high energy performance that connects with her audience very well. She interacts with them and draws them into her performance. Even though a snowstorm was starting outside, people opted to stay for Leslie’s presentation and they expressed their appreciation for her enthusiasm and her message of maintaining hope in the face of agricultural economic troubles. Bottom line: we loved her!!!"

Motivational Speaker in Omaha, NE

"Larry was fantastic! He was able to step in at the last minute due to our previously chosen speaker becoming ill. Larry is very professional, offers a positive message and his material is G-Rated -- exactly what we were looking for in a keynote speaker. Thanks Larry!"

Comedienne in Columbus, OH

"We had Leslie Norris Townsend as the main event for an October Breast Cancer Awareness event. The audience was breast cancer survivors that participate in our survivorship programming. We were delighted with the outcome. Leslie was great. She really approached the event as laughing in the face of adversity and how laughing through life is therapeutic and freeing. She warmed the crowd immediately upon her entrance with an upbeat song. The group was able to relax and really get into the performance. Leslie hit on common topics and themes that all of us face in life and joked/laughed her way through them allowing us to join her. After the show, one of our survivors came up to thank us for inviting Leslie and allowing the group to have a night off. Everyone gave Leslie praise for connecting with a tough group that has been through a lot. We were very pleased with our experience."

Comedian in Owosso, MI

"David did a great job! He was very funny and personable. People really enjoyed him. He shared a little of his own personal life story that touched people as well!"

Productivity Speaker in Davenport, IA

"Rik (aka Barney Fife) spoke for CML USA, Inc. at our International Sales Meeting. We had representatives from Italy, Canada, Portugal and the U.S. After a full day of being served very technical information, our representatives enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy his performance. Rik's business message was clear and on point, and his very entertaining comedy routine had everyone in stitches from beginning to end. We wanted something light and entertaining yet informative for our sales professionals. From fun "citations" a the beginning to allowing photos to be taken with Barney, Rik Roberts provided exactly what we were looking for!"

Clean Comedian in Nebraska City, NE

"Larry performed at our company's annual conference and our attendees had a blast! Larry was hilarious and a breath of fresh air from start to finish. He tailored his material for our audience and because of it, our attendees felt like the experience was personalized for them and they were even more engaged. Long after Larry's performance was over, people were still laughing about his jokes and talking about how much fun they had. As the Conference Coordinator, working with him prior to the event was extremely easy and he kept me informed on every step of the booking process. I would absolutely recommend using Larry for your next event!"

Farmer Comedian in Spencer, IA

"Wow -- where to start? Jerry met and exceeded my expectations. He was very easy to work with and very thoughtful. Jerry attended the Vendor Reception on Monday night - networking with the vendors and getting to know our committee and the surrounding area. On Tuesday, Jerry arrived early at the venue and walked around networking with the vendors; meeting the public and attending the speaker before Jerry - Iowa Agriculture Secretary, Bill Northey. Everyone I have talked to that attended Jerry's presentation have told me nothing but great things about his presentation. Jerry staying up on what is happening in Agriculture and Business in other parts of the US - and not just his home state is what impressed me. He very much so has his homework done to relate to his audience. Jerry also dressed correctly - he did not try to out dress the audience. Jerry's audience was farmers and farm related business people mainly and he dressed to relate to them - this was wonderful! After Jerry's presentation and before he left I was very touched that he came to find me to thank me and give me a hug. I would recommend Jerry to anyone."

Comedienne in Portland, IN

"We have received nothing but excellent feedback about Leslie’s performance. She did a great job of selecting material that engaged our audience of farmers, and had a great knack at picking out “volunteers” that would be entertaining to the audience as well. One attendee called the next day to let us know how much he enjoyed the show wanted everyone involved to know “that it was refreshing to be able to laugh - and laugh hard - at something that wasn’t raunchy.” I know several in attendance are considering hiring her for entertainment at their organization’s future meetings. All of the business cards she had at the door disappeared. Thank you again for making our first customer dinner a successful one."
