Speaker testimonials
I just wanted to let you know that the conference was a big success and that Roman was outstanding! The way he incorporated the information we had given him on the company and various people within the company into the evening and his improv routines was nothing short of amazing. The feedback from the gala was that it was without a doubt, the best we have ever done and Roman was a big part of that.
Roman Danylo was outstanding. His skills in getting the crowd involved and quick wit is second to none.
Roman’s Improvisation skills were second to none and the extent to which he involved and captured the attention of the audience was fabulous. It was certainly apparent that all those present had a terrific time and those who unwittingly became part of his routines were made to feel at ease.
Roman’s ability to keep a crowd laughing with the use of improvisational comedy was obvious. With some information about our company and our employees he was able to put together a clean , humorous program that entertained all and offended none.
Roman was wonderful. He tailored his routine so nicely and was specific to the newspaper industry. The audience roared with laughter. He is worth every penny. And of course, having had such a hit for an entertainment this year, I worry about next year.
