Here's what they're saying about Kenny Byrd:
"...your appearance brings class to an event..." I believe the
standing ovation said it all. Thanks for everything."
- Bob Moss,
Executive Director,
Be-A-Friend Program
"We just received the pictures back and people are laughing all over
again." -
Pro-Edge Ltd.
"...he has all the poise, and quick wit to assure him a stellar
position in the ranks of show business. Not since Edgar Bergan has the
art of ventriloquism soared to such imaginative heights of comic
satire."
-
Ben Vereen
"At one time, I couldn't come up for air... You kicked off the meeting
the next a.m. with the 'early bird' drawing - that was a great fun
exercise." -
Bill Robbins,
Nash Finch Company
"It is sometimes very difficult to find an act that appeals to such a
variety of people (including our top executives) but you certainly had
something for everyone. The audience participation was one of my
favorites. It's amazing how people will join in when given the
chance." -
Marge Lelito, Public Affairs
Oxy Chem
"Your participation at our kick-off meeting was one of the key
elements in its overwhelming success... you communicated the Market -
Driving Quality message... in a way that was upbeat and got people to
listen." -
James Byrnes, Account Executive,
IBM
"Feedback from even the 'hard to please' people has been fun to hear.
Thank you for making me look good. My only disappointment will be in
trying to come up with entertainment for the next year - you're going
to be a tough act to follow." -
University of Buffalo,
Department of Ophthalmology
"You completely took over a very tired audience (at the International
Convention Awards Banquet) and brought them to their feet in a
thunderous standing ovation. This was a remarkable achievement in view
of the fact that most of the audience had attended several receptions,
a long dinner and a lengthy awards program."
-
Jack Criswell, Executive Director Programs,
Sales & Marketing Executive - Intl.
"An admixture of craft and art, of humor both earthy and elegant - and
great empathy with your audience, it was superb!"
-
Chairman Entertainment Committee,
Rainbow Obedience Association Inc.
"The spring Dance is an annual event.... Consensus was it was the best
year ever, due to the entertainer. Since most of the audience were
bankers and 50 percent bankers are golfers - the golf material was
great." -
M&T Bank
"Beyond your considerable talent as a ventriloquist, you have an
uncanny ability to play to your specific audience; both drawing on
whatever advance input you receive, as well as listening for and
capturing 'characters' from the group as you go along."
