Don did an excellent job. I really appreciated how he contacted me ahead of time to work out details and our expectations. It was also very helpful to meet with him for a few minutes prior to the event to work out last-minute details. Don did an excellent job making our attendees believe that he was part of the wait staff and that he 'just wasn't right.' His speech after his routine was very enjoyable, and the message positively reinforced his act. Well done! A pleasant surprise!

Everyone had a great time! "Best time I ever had" I heard. Different from just a run of the mill speaker. And they were still talking the next day! It can't get any better than that. Even though I was in on it it was great fun watching the reaction of others.

Having Don at our conference dinner was such a hit. I am still getting calls from our associates about how entertaining he was. The wait staff at the hotel loved him and since we are in a customer service business, it was a real eye opener for some!

Don, you were excellent. Thank you for being so flexible with my every-changing schedule on the day of the event. You're my hero -- I'm getting rave reviews -- the best event they have ever been too. And, I'm still laughing at our attorney (and a very good one!) who was one of the very, very last people to "get it".

Everyone enjoyed Don's act and staff is still talking about it. He caught everyone's attention and made them aware of the importance of great customer service from the bad service through his interaction with our staff to his speech at the end of act emphasizing customer service. He did great and would strongly recommend him.

Don was fabulous. As President/CEO of the Texas Society of Association Executives for 24 years, I worked with many, many speakers. While I'm a bit critical of professional speakers, on a scale of 1-10, I'd give Don a 10+!

Thanks so much for suggesting Don Pryor to entertain us at our recent conference in San Antonio. The moment we were seated for dinner the antics began. Several people came to my table laughing hysterically even before the meal was served stating that if the waiter was not part of the entertainment for the evening, we were all in for an additional treat. He certainly kept us all in stitches the entire evening. I was part of the Joke Telling portion of Don's program. What a blast! His funeral procession joke about two caskets, a dog on a leash and eighty men single file cracked everyone up. All his jokes are tasteful and hilarious. Don has a way of judging personalities of guests and "serving" each table in the appropriate manner. When the smartaleck of our group caught on and tossed a roll to him, Don purposefully refused to catch it, said "Don't harass the waiters," turned and walked off, leaving the guest to go across the room to retrieve the roll. Perfect! The evening was a great success due in part to Don Pryor, "The Dumb Waiter."

Dear Mr. Pryor, All I can say is... Wonderful! I can't begin to tell you how much i enjoyed watching you. You were truly a delight! I've had some very good feedback--everyone seemed to enjoy your performance very much. You made for a most memorable evening. I would highly recommend you to anyone that wanted something different and very humorous. I thank you for making the evening great and please feel free to call on me if there is anything I can do for you.

It was recently our great pleasure to have Don Pryor as our guest entertainer for a retirement party. The past president of our company had just announced his retirement. Because of his benevolence over the years we wanted to do something very special. Mr. Pryor made this banquet dinner just that much more special. His "The World's Worst Waiter" performance was uproarious. Mr. Pryor eliminates any chance of a tedious, uncomfortably boring dinnertime during large evening events such as ours. From the moment he begins his routine, until his final soliloquy, our guests were thoroughly entertained. His humor and antics will take any large party to the highest levels of surprise and laughter. By a common consensus with my colleagues and I, Mr. Pryor will be an integral part of future events of this kind. We heartily recommend his services.

Don Pryor did an outstanding job entertaining our group. No one in the group knew that he would be working with the banquet staff from the hotel, so it was a complete surprise. After watching Don's promo video I felt he would provide the comic touch we needed for the event and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend Don Pryor as an entertainer for a group function.

Don was awesome! The audience of nurses spent their dinner hour assessing his mental and physical health needs. Even our attorney convinced and demanded he be removed from service. Everyone loved the gag, and laughed hysterically -- regardless of when they caught on! It was a wonderful way to make a 40th anniversary celebration very memorable. We would highly recommend him.
