DeSoto Outdoor Wild Game Dinner
Monday, April 16th, 2018Rik Roberts entertains at KACo Conference in Louisville, KY
Monday, January 8th, 2018
“Thank you so much for your awesome performance at the Kentucky Association of Counties 43rd Annual Conference & Exposition held Nov. 9, 2017 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.
The feedback that we received was overwhelmingly positive. Our large group appreciated your clean humor. When in Louisville it’s hard to compete with 4th Street Live entertainment. However, you maintained to keep everyone in their seats during the hour long performance. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to working with you again in the future.”

Alabama Farmers Cooperative

“Rik performed at Alabama Farmers Cooperative’s manager’s meeting and did an outstanding job. From his impersonation of Barney Fife during hospitality to his stand-up after dinner, his performance was just what we needed. His humor was very appropriate for our group. From the comments I have received, everyone enjoyed Rik’s performance. We would definitely recommend him for any group.”
- James Fudge, Alabama Farmers Cooperative
Laugh All Night – Athens, AL
Monday, August 28th, 2017It’s always great to raise money for a worthy cause. It is also a lot of fun to see a comedy show. And, is there anything better than spending time with friends? Yes – when you can do all three at the same time!
I had a really enjoyable evening working with comedian Jonnie W. at Lindsay Lane Baptist Church as we raised money for Tim DeTellis and NEW MISSIONS in Haiti. Using the Laugh All Night platform, we were able to raise awareness and achieve sponsorships for several children to attend school.
As a side note, you don’t have to wear black to do this.

Sunset Retirement Communities, Jenison, MI
Friday, June 16th, 2017Volunteers are dear to my heart. Selfless acts like taking care of others should be rewarded. Luckily for me, I had a chance to bring laughs (and Barney Fife) to an appreciation banquet for just those kinds of folks. What a fun time!
“Rik Roberts understood our audience. He worked the room as “Fife” and raised the level of engagement and participation from everyone. Rik’s material is genuinely funny and appropriate for all ages. We are glad we found him.”

“Rik fit our need perfectly. We desired CLEAN comedy. It was a Sheriff Event so Barney Fife was perfect. Rik was a great entertainer. I would hire him again without hesitation if I have another need.” –Rob D, New Castle, IN
Columbia Marking Tools, Detroit, MI
Monday, May 29th, 2017“Rik Roberts was the spotlight for our bi-annual sales event. His humor was well received by our diverse crowd of sales people from all over the US and Canada. I was concerned about hiring a special person from out of state, but he was worth it. He kept the audience laughing from the beginning until the end.”

NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017Home visits can be stressful and rewarding all at once. My goal for this presentation was to reward the workers with an hour of stress-free laughter. What a great time and a super-nice group!
“I am so glad we made the choice to have Rik come to Nebraska for our conference! As the work our home visitors do is very stressful, and many of the topics of the conference were “heavy,” the break for comedy during our luncheon was a perfect way for our participants to “Recharge!” Rik was a joy to work with, extremely professional and 100% appropriate for our audience. We had a lot of wonderful feedback!”

FUN TIME AT THE RYMAN
Thursday, May 11th, 2017
Time sure flies. I think it was 1994 when I first performed with this funny man. Next thing I knew he had blown up into one of the most recognizable comedy voices in our time. “Larry the Cable Guy” had a hilarious show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. It was good to hang backstage and catch up little bit. Git-R-Done!
Fake “Expert” Strikes Again … This Time In Atlanta!
Monday, March 6th, 2017For the second time in three days I was able to “fool” the audience as a fake speaker. This time, I was speaking on the coal industry to commercial explosives and blasting systems provider Orica.
As I explained how windmills were reversing the Earth rotation, I got a few puzzling looks …
And then, when I informed them that a solar energy expansion pilot program in Seattle was a major failure I won them back.
There was just enough “true” mixed in with the “false” that it made for a great surprise.
Here is what the client had to say …
“Rik was a great addition to our conference of joint ventures & independent distributors. He had great ideas on how to trick the audience into believing he was an industry expert who we soon figured out knew very little about our industry. He was responsive to my communications, punctual at our event & everyone really enjoyed his comedic routine. His timing was spot-on, the topics were universal and he did a great Barney Fife!!
– Patty Poole, Orica
