Dear Edith,
 
I am writing this letter to tell you, that you were simply spectacular at our 30th Re/Max Anniversary Party.
You really helped tie the entire event together and you raised the level of excitement by about 100 decibels. I can only say, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for helping make our event a smashing success.

Dear Edith:
 
Thank you so much for entertaining our Denver Chapter of IFMA at our January monthly meeting. I was so impressed with the way you immediately got the audience involved and then kept them laughing for the duration of your performance.  Your "off the cuff" style appealed to everyone in the room, and I've received several positive comments since then.
 
Feel free to use me as a reference. I thought you were a stitch!
 
Best regards,
Tracey McDonough

PSA Security Network

In February 2003, Edith Weiss performed at out annual Vendor Appreciation Awards Banquet. We initially billed her as an expert in security and set up the attendees for a potentially dry and boring speaker. Edith played her role wonderfully and it took a while for the crowd of 400-plus people to realize they had been had.  She incorporated industry and company specific humor into her routine, which was well received by the audience. I would highly recommend Edith for your company function.

Summit County Preschool Fundraising Event

 
I would like to express our sincere appreciation to Edith Weiss for helping to make out first-ever Comedy Night fundraiser such a great success.  We received only positive feedback on Ms. Weiss's show from our guests. She chose material which was very well suited to our audience and exactly in line with our request for a "non-explicative" show.
 
In order to promote our silent auctin, which was going on in conjunction with the event, we requested Ms. Weiss (at the last minute) to help us by verbally auctioning off two items.  She did this very willingly and very well, which in our minds proved her talents for comedy - being able to pull something like that off with no prior notice. Our profits on those two items were much higher than what we could have hoped for if done silently.
 
We would feel lucky to have Ms. Weiss back for another Comedy Night event in the future!
 
Sincerely,
Karin Carestia

I hired comedian Edith Weiss as the after dinner entertainment for a very diverse group of twelve business owners. She was perfect with her wit, humor, and some interactive comedy, and without benefit of a stage, lights, or a microphone. Edith had us laughing non-stop and engaged the group to the extent that we kept her after her show for an impromptu "question and answer" section.  She has my highest recommendation.
 
Sincerely,
Robert D. Carrothers

The White House Project Training Seminar

 
A very belated but sincere thank you for your performance at the White House Project's "Go Run Political Leadership Training" in June.  You were wonderful!
 
You did an amazing job entertaining a very tired, low energy crowd at the end of a long day. We all loved your ad-libbing at the end using the comments from the group.  It was brilliant.
 
Best,
 
Heather Lurie

Women Build Habitat for Humanity FundRaiser
 
The packed house absolutely loved you! I'm sure you could tell that everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. It was the best fundraiser we ever had and everyone went home with smiles from ear to ear. You were the highlight of the night, Edith, and I cannot thank you enough for your talent, your energy, and your enthusiasm. Our first Comedy Night was a total success, in large part because of you.
 
Best wishes to you,

University of Denver Pioneer Leadership Program

 
Thanks so much for your brilliant lunchtime performance for the annual Women's Conference at the University of Denver.  Your "right-on" material had us howling and helped us wrap up a rather earnest and serious gathering with just the right amount of levity. You seem to understand the universal funny bone and the necessary delivery for maximum impact.  I am certain most of the audience chuckled off and on the rest of the day.
 
As far as I am concerned, any one who gets to see your act is a lucky person.
 
Good luck and thanks,

Colorado State University "Women At Noon" Program
 
Thank you for your presentation at our "Women At Noon" program this afternoon. It was a wonderful experience for those in attendance, I believe, and the collective release of tenion was palpable. "Edith the ever-present antidote to stress" worked her magic again.
 
Enclosed is the article from the morning paper. A great summary of the hour.
 
It was great working with you again. Please know we deeply appreciate your willingness to share your considerable talents with us.
 
Sincerely,

Grand Lodge of Colorado, A.F. & A.M. Luncheon
 
The occasion was the Grand Communication of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Colorado and was held at the Doubletree Hotel in Denver, Colorado.  The audience was quite diverse in interests, age and backgrounds but Edith was quick to establish rapport. Her timing and delivery is superb and her material was hilariously funny.  The audience laughed till they cried. Some said they couldn't remember when they had laughed so hard. Her one-liners were the subject of conversation among the group two days after the presentation.
 
I would recommend Edith Weiss's presentation for any occasion. I will certainly book her again if the need should arise.
 
Sincerely,
Signe Schmidt
