Testimonials

Lansing

Thank you for being the guest speaker at our recent all employee meeting for the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. Your message was very inspirational as well as humorous and very entertaining. I can relate to your former job situation as I am currently in a position where I feel I am not fully utilizing my talents and potential. Sharing your experience and encouraging words will help me to be patient until the right job comes along for me. As you recounted, it gets very frustrating some days doing work that you don’t really enjoy and I am fortunate to have a husband at home who will listen as I vent. Thank you again for the entertainment, inspiration and encouragement. Good luck with your stand-up comedy and I hope that I will have the opportunity to come see you in the future.

I was very impressed with Dwayne’s professionalism leading up to the event as well as the night of. He is very funny and so personable. He mixes just the right amount of his personality and life experience, with off the wall funny stuff. Dwayne personalized the program to pertain to events that we were all familiar with. He really made us all feel like we were just having a group conversation and it was really fun and funny. We ended up with a smaller crowd than originally anticipated and he handled it “like a trooper”…. I would definitely recommend him if you want to have a good time. I am sure he will be around making people laugh for a long time!

Grand Rapids

We recently had a full day business meeting for about 100 people and wanted to lighten the mood a bit during lunch. We hired Dwayne Gill to provide about 30-minutes of entertainment. He was a great choice! He connected with and involved the audience, our attendees laughed throughout his performance and many of our guests even introduced themselves to Mr. Gill afterward. Furthermore, he was easy to communicate with and work with leading up to the event and I was impressed that he did some research about our organization in preparation for the event. All in all it was a great experience.
