Testimonials
“The dealers loved you ….thanks for helping to make it such a great event”
2012 IVECO Truck Dealer Convention
“We were referred to Homer by one of our member companies that had used him twice previously. We’ve had a few hits and misses with dinner entertainment over the years so I must admit to feeling a little nervous about how it would all work out. From the first moment Homer made contact with us right through to his amazing execution on the night he was a pleasure to deal with. And oh what a performance ! I personally thought it was far and away the most entertaining act I’ve ever seen at a business dinner and I was in on the secret ! He literally brought the house down and I’m still trying to work out how “Enrico” from Ferrari held the room for as long as he did. We had events on throughout the weekend and all the talk from attendees was about how fantastic he was. Our only problem now is working out how we’re going to top it next year !.
