• 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.

• 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.
