CAMPUS LEGEND: ERIC O'SHEA
Eric has been a part of NACA since the 1990’s. His nominator stated, “Eric O’Shea has always stood out from the crowded field of comedians. For a comedian like Eric to work almost exclusively with the college market is amazing. Eric is a student of the college market and is connected to the culture to ensure that he provides quality, fun and laughs in his show. He also educates students off the stage as well. He is the consummate professional on and off the stage.”

It is with much pleasure that I write to offer high praise and compliments regarding comedian, Eric O'Shea. Eric was the headline entertainment for our Chairman of the Board Dinner on June 22, 2007, in conjunction with our Annual Meeting. (read more)

The Annual Meeting is the premier event for our trade association. Our guests are very important and prominent attendees representing our member companies. The audience for this evening included CEO and executive level management. In addition, some members attended with their families. From my first introduction to Eric, I was very impressed with his professional and warm demeanor. Eric was very polished and prepared. He took extra care and time to speak to me, prior to the performance, to inquire about the audience demographics. He then offered the fine tuning necessary to ensure that his comedy would be appropriate for all who were in attendance. As you can imagine, we strive to offer a high level of entertainment to our group, as well as being mindful to appeal to a wide and diverse audience. I was very appreciative of his consideration and concern in this regard. Eric's routine was well received. His observations of life were amusing and funny. He covered a wide array of topics and also offered on site improvisations to customize the evening to our group and the venue. In addition, his Elmo routine was precious! There was laughter coming from adults and children alike, and everyone had a wonderful time. Finally, Eric added a personal touch when he stayed after his performance to mingle and socialize with some of our guests. I thought that was an extremely nice gesture and I appreciated his gracious manner to our group. I am confident that there is a bright future ahead for Mr. O'Shea. His talent, professionalism and charisma will take him far. I wish both of you continued success.
Kind regards,

Performing at the Awards Banquet where members of the Emergency Services Departments were recognized for their outstanding community involvement, Eric reduced the usually reserved audience to unbounded laughter with his stories and anecdotes, many of which are taken from real life.
Windsor Star Sales Representative Isobel DiNardo, who was helpless with laughter for much of the show, later conceded-“ I didn't Want him to Stop” At the conclusion of his show, Eric was greeted enthusiastically by the crowd of more than 200 as they all rose to their feet with a standing ovation. We have had so many people comment on your show, and how great it was. Many have told us that they were crying as a result of laughing so hard.
All the best with your next shows, you have a wonderful gift, and I am so glad that you were able to share it with us!!!

Awesome Show Review!
Thank you Eric O’Shea for making our safety banquet a huge success. Even though you were working in front of an audience of public icons, elected officials, bus drivers, and guests you were able to hit ALL of our funny bones. Your humor and timing was just perfect for our group. It was a professional, downright funny performance from the CLEAN growing up material to life's observations, to the Seinfeld skit, to the Elmo routine, and into the musical finale. You helped make our safety banquet memorable top notch event!
THANK YOU!

This year, with layoff's and the economy being depressed, YOU were able to turn it around and make everyone laugh and have some fun--and to keep the crowd going continuously as you did, in my book, You are the best!
The standing ovation at the end of the show was just the beginning, you could say it continued to the next day..so many people were telling me your show was wonderful!
We would welcome you back to Arkansas any time and I can guarantee any other company that is considering this gentleman. GO FOR IT!!!! You will not regret it!!!

Dear Eric,
BOTH GROUPS ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOU! The employees (including me!) who saw both shows laughed so hard we cried just as much the second time around! Our President is still laughing...
We were looking for good clean fun and you certainly delivered! Because the audience is so diverse, and because we are trying to satisfy the expectations of over 400 people, it has been challenging in the past to find an entertainer who can play to everyone – and with you, it was definitely “Mission Accomplished”!
I just can’t thank you enough for contributing to the success of our conference! We had a blast!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

One of our top executives had these words to say:
"He was a huge hit! He did an awesome job, even with a corporate crowd where he had to stay PG-13. I’ve only seen a few that can do that well. (Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld – now Eric O’Shea!!!) The fact that he also worked our corporate message into his act was outstanding!!!"
Overall we picked the BEST comedian we possibly could have!
I'm thrilled that he was available and our entire audience loved him.... how much so???
Over 300 people gave him a STANDING OVATION!
He was phenomenal and made me cry laughing, which is rare. Thanks so much, Eric!!!
