"Our audience loved Ken Richters."
 
  ― City of Las Vegas

"We’ve finally recovered enough from the anniversary festivities to properly acknowledge your wonderful work for us at the Harper’s Magazine gala celebration. I know there were rough spots along the way for everybody (not the least of which was trying to get the attention of 1,200 people in cavernous Grand Central Terminal, but your talent, professionalism, and enthusiasm stole the show. Thank you so much for bringing Mr. Clemens to life for us on a very, very special occasion for the magazine. You brought a wonderful element to the party!  I trust you saw the New York Times and CNN coverage. I’ll be sure to send along any other relevant press coverage. In the meantime, I thought you’d like to have some photographs for your archives."

"What a shot of Adrenaline Ken Richters and the Corporate Mark Twain turned out to be at our recent FAM trip in St. Thomas!  There has been nothing short of praise about his performance, from both the convention planning executives in attendance, and the management of Frenchman’s Reef. 
 
The suggestion of having “Mark Twain” close the convention was an inspiration. It was the perfect ending to a very successful weekend for us. Many planners in attendance have asked for your address, in the hopes of booking Ken Richters for their next meeting.  Thank you again for all your help in bringing “Mark Twain” to the Virgin Islands. We are planning another FAM trip this Spring, and hope Ken Richters will again be part of our program."

Your ability to customize your material to the audience made the presentation even more effective.  We have had a steady stream of calls and letters complementing you. If you have no objection, we will reveal your true identity in an upcoming newsletter. Once again, Ken, thanks for your substantial contribution to a very special evening."

"At last we have slowed down long enough to catch our breath and produce duplicate tapes from your fantastic performance at the Missouri Legislative Forum.  I want to thank you for your outstanding performance. You went the extra mile by helping us craft the script that made it specially suited for our audience. You protected the jokes that make your character come to life, and the end product was better as a result. Not to mention patiently adjusting to numerous roadblocks thrown your way in your attempt to reach our location.  We will continue to let others know of your fine work."
