Dear Jeff,
I wanted to send you a quick le7er to let you know what a huge impression you’ve made on me and my clients. The mere 20 minutes you had to perform at our Showcase leD a HUGE impression. You had the enJre audience in sJtches for the enJre 20 minutes of your performance. I actually found it difficult to breathe at Jmes I was laughing so hard! You are a true professional that blends physical comedy, with jokes, audience parJcipaJon and excitement. The rush to book you aDer you performed was overwhelming! I can’t tell you how impressed I was by your performance.
Not only were you amazing at our Showcase, but my client who booked you for their meeJng shortly aDer the event had nothing but rave reviews. You are a superstar at what you do Jeff, but you make those who book you look like superstars as well! I truly believe you rank among some of the best talent on the circuit these days. Thanks for making me “look good,” and for making every one of your audiences leave with side aches from laughing so hard and smiles on their faces.
I look forward to working with you on our next event!
All the best,

On December 10, 2011 Jeff Civillico entertained for our company Christmas Celebration. He was very energetic, creative
and man can he juggle!!! The show was great, we liked that he involved people from the audience, both young people and adults, as everyone down deep wants to be the center of attention! He kept the audience’s attention and received rave reviews from everyone… which is sometimes tough with our group,
Jeff is very easy to work with and we would consider inviting him back to Nebraska anytime! We will be recommending him to other companies for entertainment.

Greetings Jeff,
As the Certified Corporate Concierge for Hughes Center, a 1.5 million sq. ft. mixed-use Class A office
complex, I am responsible for implementing a monthly tenant event for our customers who work at the
68-acre mixed-use campus. Uniqueness establishes Hughes Center apart from everyone else.
So, it was a natural fit to match your amazing talents and energy to one of our events, which I did in
April, 2013.
From the planning stages to the completion of your performance, you were the ultimate professional.
Paperwork was an ease to complete, conversations accomplished everything in question, and the day of
the event was primarily stress-free.
Your performance reflected the ability you have to make things appear as if they are "in the moment"
and not planned or rehearsed, although one knows they have to be...no one has THAT kind of talent
without lots of practice. Your personality is so natural with the audience and your ability to engage
them and timing to their responses is an art that only those who are finely tuned in to their audiences
can master.
By the end of the two, 1-hour performances you did at Hughes Center, you had turned what started out
as polite laughter into displays of uncontrollable, eye-watering howls! The energy level and content of
your comedy, juggling and talent all combined, is unmatched. The audiences really appreciated how
you included them in your rapport and to coordinate that, while juggling and riding a unicycle requires
impeccable timing and talent, both of which you possess so naturally.
Hughes Center has always provided their customers with unparalleled amenities and I am glad to say,
we have accomplished that once again, with the talents and energy in the performance of Jeff Civillico.
With If\indest Regar

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Jeff at the 86th annual Oklahoma State FFA ConvenEon and on behalf of the over 12,000 members and guests in aJendance I wanted to say, WOW! Jeff has an ability and skill that is only matched by comedic Eming and interacEon with the audience. As a spectator I found myself clutching in laughter and amazed by his performance. As an event planner I can say that Jeff is a joy to work with. He is professional, easy going and will do everything he can to make sure the client is pleased. I have no reservaEons in recommending Jeff to any of my clients. Great Job.” Kelly BarnesProfessional Speaker/Assistant Coordinator Oklahoma FFA State ConvenEon
May 16, 2011 Dear Jeff Civillico’s office: Jeff Civillico is 100% without a doubt laugh-out-loud hysterical. Not only did Jeff's energy wake up the audience, but he was so engaging and so involved - there wasn't a single person in the room not sitting at the edge of their seat laughing and having an absolute ball! The only bad thing about Jeff was for the speaker who had to follow him. Jeff is genuinely talented and extremely entertaining! I don't say this very often, but Jeff is actually an entertainer that is "all-things for all-people". He is universally funny & clean - no matter your age, occupation or gender - you will TRULY enjoy Jeff's show! I am already looking forward to the next time I see Jeff on stage! BIG thanks to you Jeff Civillico! Laughing hard like that will make me live longer - so watching you is ultimately good for my health! Thank you!

I was introduced to Jeff Civillico’s Comedy in Ac<on show on a Disney vaca<on where he provided an unforgeBable performance. When I discovered he leads interac<ve team building workshops in addi<on to his comedy show I knew Jeff was just what we needed to enhance our new Resident Physician orienta<on.
I spoke with Jeff prior to the event about our organiza<on and what we hoped to achieve during the day through his sessions. On the day of the event he was able to easily jump in between talks of policies and procedure, giving everyone a lighthearted break and a chance to laugh...a lot. He combined topics of communica<on and life balance with hands on juggling lessons. Now we have not only a group of new physicians, but we also have a few “carnies” on our team.
Family and staff where invited to join the physicians in the evening for a social event including Jeff’s full comedy show. The evening was was a HUGE hit. Every single person in the room that night was engaged in the performance and weeks later his act is s<ll the topic of discussion and laughter around the office.
I highly recommend Jeff for any group event. He was wonderful to work with from my very first contact. His communica<on, flexibility and professionalism made my planning a breeze.
Thank you again Jeff, I look forward to working with you in the future.

Jeff,
I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your incredible performance at our recent Convention!
Right off the bat, you were professional and flexible and effortlessly utilized your comedic genius, sarcastic wit, use of props and impeccable timing to keep the audience in stitches the entire time. More importantly, you achieved our goal, left our members with a smile and set the tone for a truly fun and memorable event.
You are a gem Jeff and at the top of my recommendation list.
….but seriously, how will we top you next year?!
Thanks again and best of luck!

Dear Brian,
Thank you so much for your referral of Jeff Civillico as an entertainer for us. He was abig hit at the grand opening of our Expo Hall at the HR Florida State Conference onAugust 18. Jeff had the audience in the palm of his hand from the moment he started hisact. We are sorry that Jeff could only do a small portion of his whole act due to ourtiming constraints and the need to accommodate our vendors. I'd gladly invite him backto do an entire full length routine for us!
Our conference, attended by 1200 HR professionals this week, just celebrated our 31st
anniversary. It is a challenge to come up with new and different ideas for entertainmentoptions that appeal to our entire group. This clearly was a great choice and I am stillgetting comments about what a great event we hosted. Jeffwas a great choice for theExpo Hall. I am certain that several of our HR attendees from various organizations willbe calling you to get booking information on Jeff for their local and regional events.
Brian, thanks for making such a great referral to us. The service we've received fromExpert Performers has been flawless and we've clearly raised the bar for HR Floridaevents going forward!

Dear Jeff,
I just wanted to let you know that you were the perfect entertainer/emcee for the Tribute awards banquet at IHCA’s 61st Annual Convention and Trade Show. During your performance, as I looked around the room, there was not one person who did not have a big smile on their face, and most were doing more than smiling…they were laughing out loud and nearly falling out of their chairs! I heard several comments afterwards about how much they enjoyed your show.
You were also exemplary in your emcee duties. Hosting an event to pay tribute to the well-deserving staff and volunteers of long term care facilities is such a small gesture, so having an emcee who takes this seriously just makes it more special.
I personally want to thank you for being so easy to work with. Even the video production company commented that you were the best emcee they had
worked with at this event.
All I can say is a great big “Thank You” from the IHCA staff and the Tribute attendees.

To Whom It May Concern:
Our parish recently had the privilege of having Jeff Civillico visit our parish for two events. Performing to an audience of 800 people one night and 400 people the following night, Jeff kept the audience connected and thrilled throughout his entire presentation. This was an amazing feat as his audience consisted of ages 4 to 90! Jeff is an extremely talented young man who has found a way to engage, entertain, and fill the room with laughter. He displayed over and over again absolutely amazing acts of incredible skill and wit. We were especially grateful that Jeff has chosen to do “family safe” shows that church groups can be proud of. We would recommend Jeff Civillico to anyone who wants to book a top notch, talented, and very funny entertainer. No one left our event disappointed and they still talk about it!
Thank you,Deacon David Hendrickson

January 12, 2011 To anyone who is considering hiring Jeff Civillico: Prepare to have a blast! We were very fortunate to have Jeff perform at our company Holiday Party in December. To say he was entertaining would be an understatement. Jeff had the entire crowd roaring. He has an amazing ability of getting the whole audience involved and invested in his performance. We first saw Jeff perform on our family vacation aboard the Disney Magic. We were quickly hooked, taking in both his family and adult shows. Coming up with the idea to have him put on a show for our company party turned out to be a brilliant one, as he was the hit of the night. If there is one obstacle in having Jeff perform at our party, it is that next year it is going to be impossible to top. Each year we pride ourselves in providing wonderful entertainment for our employees. Hands down 2010 was the best so far. If you have the opportunity to hire Jeff, take it! Yours truly, Lisa Trewin Grosset Vice President of Finance & Administration

Jeff,
Thank you so much for your involvement in the InterContinental Hotels Group
US Sales & Marketing Meeting at the Venetian|Palazzo in Las Vegas on
April 26-29, 2011. Our guests LOVED you!
Your “Wake ‘Em Up” act as our meeting opener was not only a hit, but was still
being talked about well into the remainder of the meeting! Your skills in juggling,
balancing and comedy are fantastic and your personality was just right for this
upbeat and energetic crowd.
Our collective favorite part of your performance was the “tricycle part” and we
are still laughing ‘till we hurt about it today! What a great way to incorporate our
guests into your show.
Thanks again for helping to make the US Sales & Marketing Meeting a hit and we
look forward to the next one!

Dear Jeff:
I just want to thank you again for performing at our Annual Excellence Awards program
in Baltimore, MD on March 4, 2013. You are truly an amazing performer who captured
the crowd’s attention in the very first seconds of entering our stage. Your natural wit,
phenomenal skills as a juggler and polished professionalism truly added a level of
entertainment that our program has not seen in this annual event.
Perhaps the best part of working with you was your kind and professional manner. You
are confident in your own skills and talents, but more importantly you were very focused
on meeting the needs of our organization and customizing your performance for our
audience. You cared about meeting our needs and ensuring that we had a memorable
experience. And we did! The audience loved you from the first moments, and you added
an energy to the show that we have not seen in recent years.
I really cannot say enough good things about you and I truly wish you well in all your
future endeavors. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us.

I have been teaching this class since 2006 and it has paved the way for many students to live their dream of becoming a hospitality professional as a concierge. I asked Jeff to come and speak to my students about his show, the entertainment industry and how concierges play such an integral role in the success of shows and businesses in our city.
Jeff Civillico is not only a funny & amazing performer but he can cap8vate an audience as a guest speaker as well tailoring his informa8on to the client needs. If that is not enough to intrigue you he is also such a genuinely nice person you just wish the absolute best and abundance of success for him!

January 3, 2012 Greetings, Our organization had the pleasure of hosting Jeff Civillico as the featured entertainment for a corporate gathering of 900 of our members in early December, 2011. Onstage, Jeff provides a high-energy, family-friendly show that is laugh-out-loud funny. In addition to the great show he provides, I found Jeff Civillico to be very organized and easy to work with in advance of our event. He was very accommodating when it comes to his travel schedule and other logistics prior to the show. Both myself, as well as our sound and lighting crew were impressed with his easy-going, yet professional demeanor. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend him for your next event.
