Marty recently had a ticketed event in Fort Wayne, Indiana. All the church did to promote the event was show Marty's One-minute-thirty-second customized personal videos in two church services prior to the event. From that marketing effort alone, the church was able to sell over 650 tickets! On average the church has around 1,200 worshippers per Sunday. The Associate Pastor in charge of booking Marty had this to say afterwards.

Lake Norman Baptist Church :: Ron Hoppe7/17/2014  Marty was a huge help in making our Valentine’s Dinner event a great success! I don’t know how often you hear professionalism and comedian in the same sentence but his willingness and ability to deliver a show perfectly suited to our crowd, and the continuous roar of laughter clearly demonstrated he is a professional of the highest caliber. Given the opportunity, everyone involved in planning our event would not hesitate to recommend Marty to any other church group needing a good laugh … or any other group for that matter.

 Marty was such a huge success for our Comedy Cafe fundraising event. Marty had the crowd laughing and through their laughter Marty was able to convey our story and the needs of at-risk teens. Marty helped us raise more money in one event than we ever have in our 40 year history; more importantly he assisted us in presenting a program that still has people buzzing.

 I met Marty when he performed at CPA (Christ Presbyterian Academy) Dad's Comedy Night in Nashville, Tennessee. Marty is get down stupid funny! My wife and I laughed until we had tears running down our cheeks several times while watching him. It seems everywhere you turn comedians think they have to be vulgar to be funny. I love how powerfully Marty proves that nonsense wrong! When you’re funny you make people laugh by simply sharing every day stories that people relate to. If you haven’t seen Marty, GO SEE HIM!

 "Marty recently did our “After Christmas End-of-First-Semester” school faculty and staff party. I had never met Marty, nor had I ever heard him do his routine. I had only read a short “essay” he had written for a local news agency. After meeting him for just a few minutes, one of my event coordinators asked, “Is he going to be funny?” I told him, “If his routine is anywhere near as funny as the conversation we have had for the last few minutes, we are going to love him.” He did not disappoint from the first moment to the last.  Teachers, just like any profession, need an opportunity to relax, let their hair down and enjoy a good laugh. Marty gave us even more than that! My faculty and staff are still talking about him on our campus weeks after the event. His experiences as a teacher and coach, a college football player, a dad, and otherwise, are portrayed wonderfully and are well-suited for any audience. And, it cannot be stressed enough that he was able to perform for an hour with hilarious material that would be appropriate in language and content for any audience. And it did not feel like an hour, at all!
I wholeheartedly recommend Marty to be a part of any organizational event. You will not regret even one minute of the time that you spend with him. He is great! His performance exceeded my hopes and expectations, and I am sure that it will exceed yours, as well." Dennis McDaniel (Principal, McBee High School - McBee, South Carolina)

I was so excited when he decided to put together the comedy shows. The Garden Bistro shows are my favorite. Good food and Great laughs! Who could ask for more?
Marty works extremely hard to put together these comedy nights, and it definitely shows. He is a one-of-a-kind sort of fellow, and a great asset to Columbia! Keep us laughing Marty!" Carrie David, Front End Audio, Columbia, SC

stephanie Griggs Bridgers9/15/2009  "My husband and I really enjoyed going to Comedy Night in the Vista at The Garden Bistro. Marty was very funny, without having to be crass or vulgar....Profanity Free Comedy is a great way to go! We felt comfortable bringing our teenager and his friends. We recommend Marty's comedy acts to anyone and everyone!
The food at the Garden Bistro was fabulous. It was a very enjoyable experience. More importantly though, literally everyone dining there that night seemed to be having a really good time, mostly because of Marty!" Stephanie Griggs Bridgers, Columbia, SC |
