"Everyone had a wonderful time. I received a lot of comments of how they enjoyed the session. A few of the people I talked to said it has been the best they have seen in some time. I actually had a director ask me about Larry for something they are going to do! Thanks for all the humor, the belly laughs and in some cases tears from laughing so hard."

"Larry Weaver hit it out of the park! We had a Teacher Appreciation event, and his motivational speech was spot on. The crowd loved him, and we even received raving reviews from the teachers themselves. From start to finish it was so easy and seamless to work with Larry. He was on time, prepared and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. There was clean comedy and real life, funny experiences he shared with us. All while teaching a great lesson and inspiring the teachers and other attendees in the room. There were plenty of materials to choose from to put in our brochures for the event and instructions for what needed to be done to prepare for his arrival were easy to follow. He was very low maintenance compared to some other speakers we have had. Truly just a pleasure to work with and all at a very reasonable price. You won't break the bank booking this funny, professional and inspiring speaker. I highly recommend him for your next upcoming event!"

"Larry was the absolute perfect choice as our guest speaker at our annual team event. He was spot on, both funny and motivational. We are pretty particular with who we have address our team as we try to maintain a certain culture of which many other comedians would not work for us. Larry was exactly as he presented himself; funny, engaging, uplifting, offering clean humor and professionalism. With a wide variety of ages on our team, it was great that everyone raved about how much they enjoyed having Larry speak. We typically do something completely different every year for our team but I am inclined to have Larry back as that is how much we enjoyed having him."

"Larry’s presentation was engaging and captivating from the very beginning. He was able to seamlessly weave his unique comedy with meaningful content relevant to our event. He easily connected with our group and many expressed a desire to see him again. Larry shared a heartfelt story regarding a scholarship he received to assist his college expenses. This resonated with many of our staff as they provide services to students day-in and day-out regarding everything from registration and enrollment to records and financial aid. His emotional retelling of the story reflected his passion and understanding for what we do."
