“Rick was hired as the keynote speaker/entertainer for an academic conference of faculty and administrators. Not only was he enjoyable to watch as an entertainer, his ability to relate his performance back to the "why" behind education was amazing. I would strongly recommend him if you are looking for a unique and creative way to provide a keynote address with a solid message!”

"I'd like to thank you for helping to make our volunteer recognition event such a success. You hit the mood perfectly. Your performance was fun and light-hearted, yet your message of perceptions, inspiration, compassion and self-awareness were great ties into the ethos of our organization. Thank you."

"Rick Lewis provided the most astonishing, fast-paced and breathtaking audience interactive performance our group has experienced in decades. Before we knew it the night was winding down and this young man who had taken us through a spectrum of emotions - from amazement to laughing - from heartfelt sentiment to inspiration. He ended his performance with a few of the most touching and meaningful stories he could have chosen. Rick Lewis is a speaker/performer that you do not want to pass up with any group. For event planners to miss what he has to offer is an oversight of great detriment for any audience. He works hard to please - before, during and after his performances. When you book Rick, you get total focus on your audience, your goals and the complete success of your event. Not to be missed!

Conference Director
"Rick Lewis delivered a unique show that dazzled our guests, kept them laughing & then as a speaker inspired them. We literally went on a wildly comical ride when he began his routine as The World's Funniest Waiter. When Rick finally revealed himself as the entertainer, the whole room filled with laughter. He coordinated directly with the resort which alleviated me from having to participate in the planning. His keynote address "empowered" our group to look beyond their disabilities & strive to overcome them. If you're looking for a unique entertainer & inspiring speaker that will leave a lasting message with your participants, Rick Lewis will deliver."

"We have had many motivational speakers talk eloquently and powerfully about great ideas, but we have rarely had somebody like you demonstrate them in such an entertaining and delightful manner."

"I want to let you know that we received a flood of comments regarding your performance at our annual High Performance Achievement Awards dinner last evening. The consensus is that you were awesome!!!"

“Unreal. Simply one of the best corporate entertainers/speakers I have ever witnessed or hired. Rick was hired to perform/speak at a National Sales meeting that our company held. The entire staff was not only caught off guard by the presentation and entertained beyond any expectation, but truly enjoyed the complete act/discussion afterwards. At this time I was a Regional Sales Manager in the Northeast and hired Rick to perform for the New York State School Food Service Association. To say the group enjoyed it would be an understatement. To this day folks still tell me how that was the best performer/speaker they have ever seen.”

Corporate Meeting Director
"Rick Lewis has performed at our annual client conference in Santa Barbara on two separate occasions and he was fantastic both times! We have about 1000 of our customers from across the United States at these events. After Rick's first performance, we heard from everyone about how much they enjoyed his performance. We patiently waited a few years until we could have him back once again and he was even better the second time around. Rick has a special ability to engage to everyone with his crazy waiter act. When he finally takes the stage, the room explodes with laughter once they realize what's been going on. This year he added a new segment that was customized for our group and delivered after his comedy act. This customized segment was a moving and heartfelt inspirational message regarding customer service and human kindness that was totally appropriate for our audience. I would recommend Rick's presentation without reserve to any planner or planning committee that is looking for a unique, fun and interesting way to both entertain and inspire an audience!!"

VP Special Projects
“Rick provided an outstanding performance for our 2009 Associate Banquet. This group consisted of warehouse, drivers, Sales Representatives, Office support, Senior Staff, Cash N Carry store personnel and a select group of Corporate Arizona Senior Management. Rick was able to capture and keep the attention of all groups, keep them interested in his performance, laugh, participate and finally listen to his closing motivational statements. I would highly recommend him for any organization as his entertainment is clean, wholesome fun for all ages. We would definitely consider hiring Rick again for future events.”

"I organized an employee recognition event and hired Rick Lewis. Here is unsolicited feedback:
"In my 30 years with the agency this was definitely one of the best awards program."
"The motivational speaker was AMAZINGLY FUNNY!"
"Great job getting the presenter. Many years we've had less-than mediocre speakers, and this guy was a riot... and got a great message across. I especially like the fact that he really only spoke for a few minutes, but his messages were conveyed through the entire performance. Very smart!"
"Everyone I talked to enjoyed the Awards Day this year. The best in my 21 years here in AZ!"
USDA Meeting Planner
"Rick was the perfect addition to our conference. He was very professional, greatly entertaining, and everyone just loved his presentation. He really took the audience by surprise and it was a great way to open up the day. It set the mood for the rest of the conference and we highly recommend him to any group that is considering him. Thank you Rick!"

Private Events
"It is with sincere appreciation and genuine enthusiasm that we thank you for the extraordinary performance you gave at our private home for our wedding reception. Our objective was to provide “secret entertainment” for our closest family and friends. It was critical that it be executed with a high level of sophistication and good taste; and at the same time, keeping it fun and full of surprises. You were able to execute that flawlessly. You were the highlight of our event and our friends are still talking about it. It was an evening that no one will forget and one that we will cherish as a fond memory throughout our lives."
Wedding Couple
Patte and Hubert Stummer
"Rick's performance during the appetizer/mingling time, caused the guests to mingle among one another, more than any party we've hosted. His deadpan facial expressions topped it off. The physical comedic routine to conclude the night was absolutely gut-busting fun. The off the cuff audience engagement made memories to last a lifetime for all our guests."
