Funny Funny Funny

Toby Kid did a show at my company's annual awards banquet. It was very funny. His stories about growing up and his family are great. Toby was pleasant to visit with after the show too.

Toby KID made the night PERFECT

My company has had an annual comedy night for years. It is an event that employees and their guest attend as well as our customers and vendors. The night also is a fund raiser for a local charity.
The economy, a couple bad comedians the previous years and internal company struggles has caused this event to loose momentum and support.
Toby KID single-handedly turned that around! Toby responded quickly to my first inquiry and subsequent communications. He was enthusiastic and when asked, offered a variety of ideas on what he would and could do to enhance the night. Toby even put us in touch with a couple of other services to help make the night great FOR NO CHARGE! All that, and I hadn't even met him yet, or seen his show.
The night of the show Toby came early, was a hoot to visit with and he even help us set up the stage.
The show was simply hysterical. He was able to reach every member of our audience from the serious accountant to our youngest employee. The show was clean, quick witted and just plain fun to be part of. I have not heard a single disparaging word about the show, and in this office, that's an accomplishment.
Following the show Toby kept the comedy going as he work our auction making it almost as funny as his act. What a pleasant surprise to have him go way beyond our agreement. We raised a record amount and we all give full credit to Toby for that achievement.
We will hire him again. I know some of our vendors have already signed up Toby to entertain at their company events.
