Michael Blaustein

“Yes, it was a very successful event. The turnout was so large that it was a relief as previous events had suffered from low student outcomes. It was a great time for me and the students to see the comedians as they were both hilarious!

Abby, SUNY Cortland

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Sarah, SUNY Plattsburgh

“Everything went SO WELL! Our attendees loved it and it was so much fun – Mickey and his wife were fantastic hosts, they were so good about going with the flow – changing up the music genres when I asked, managing our “spirit award” voting with a rowdy crowd and even, judging and impromptu dance competition that our agents decided to put on themselves (lol). Everything was perfect, really.”

Charlie Foster, Asst Vice Chancellor, University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

University of Wyoming

Nico Franc

“The programs this weekend were outstanding. WE had such a great event. Nico had the audience in a sing a long that was so much fun. There were about 30 there for his show which is good for a solo music act. Alex had the house roaring- about 60 there which is almost capacity. Both were so much fun to watch.
Thank you for everything.”

Arizona State University

Get A Life...

“As an orientation professional for over 15 years, Get A Life is pertinent, engaging, high-energy, and every incoming student should experience it.”

Greg Overend, University of New Haven

Maximize Your Buzz

“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student

Zero Shades

“You made an instant connection with the audience and delivered difficult content in a manner that was relatable and not preachy. What I appreciate about the program [Zero Shades] is that it cuts through the “clutter” of Title IX, VAWA, Cleary, etc. and provides the audience with a clear message… Feedback from students was positive and appreciative of both the information and the manner in which it was delivered. Thanks so much for being such a great educational partner!”

Chris Jachimowicz, Millersville University

Hypnotic Intoxication

“It went great! A lot of fun and energy as always! We would love for him to come back again next year!”

Brenna Conley, Drake University

Last Call

“The students got really into it and all I heard was how much fun they had and it was better than a lecture. Watching them play along and think they know the answer and react if they got it wrong I could really tell they were learning new information and were engaged.”

Lycoming College

Campus Feud

“The game show [Campus Feud] went great last night. Everything ran super smooth with set up and it was very a stress-free maintenance during the show. Derik was great. He was young and very college-atmosphere oriented. He was also very very funny. The students who came all said they had a great time and we got a lot of great feedback for the audience. The questions related to Oakland University specifically were also a huge hit.”

Sarah Novak, Oakland University

Cash Attack

“It [Cash Attack] was FANTASTIC! We had an awesome number of attendees and [the host] was the best game show host we have ever had on campus! He spoke with me about some other game shows Neon offers and we are going to book at least 2 of them.”

Michelle Burger, Lincoln Land Community College

The College Game Show

“As a small school we’re always looking for events with big impact that fit our small budget. We “lucked” into the Amazing Game Show… The students loved the games, and the trivia questions were perfect for our college students. The games ran quickly and due to some questions where the students could bet as much (or as little) as they wanted, nobody was ever out of the game until the last question. …I know this will be a main stay for our campus for years to come. ”

Dennis McNaboe, Salem International University

Keith Karkut

“Hypnotic Intoxication went well. We had 16 students attend this event which we thought was pretty good. Keith was great to work with as well and I think everyone had a good time. Thank you again for help getting this all set up and scheduled. As always, we will consider partnering with NEON Entertainment in the future.”

Sophia, Pennsylvania College of Technology

Ayrk Crowder

“Aryk Crowder was awesome! Super friendly put on a phenomenal show and interacted with the crowd. The students also loved him. He was also great to work with. I would highly recommend him for any school who are looking at booking Aryk!”

Bradley Smith, Albright College

Ben Rosenfeld

AXS

Jon Wayes

“I heard many students today tell me that this was the best after school activity we’ve had since they’ve been here” [Jon Wayes]

Tim Wicklund, Midwinter Organizer

Joe Pera

“If you watch any comedian’s late-night set, regardless of the show, you’ll hear some medium laughs and a lot of (likely cued) applause breaks. Toward the end, [Joe] Pera gets both the loud pop laughs and the sort between-joke rolling laughter you’d see at a real comedy show. And the laughs are truly deserved.”

Jesse David Fox, Vulture.com

Jesse Joyce

“Jesse [Joyce] was awesome!! Super easy going and fun to work with. Everyone loved him. I would keep his name in our “favorites” file for future events!”University of La Verne

Emily Destefano, University of La Verne

“Silent disco was perfect! We had the perfect number of headphones, and it was easy to set up.”

Tori, Gannon University

T Murph

“We LOVED T Murph! He was great on stage and the students and I really liked working with him before and after the event. There are often difficulties getting to Potsdam and this time was no exception. He was able to make it part of his act which was really funny. Thanks for checking back. I’m sure we’ll be working together in the future.”

Maureen Taylor, SUNY Potsdam

Chef Egg

“I thought the program was WONDERFUL! Being informative without sounding preachy is very difficult, and I thought Erik [Chef Egg] did a great job. I really like the tone that was used with the students, as I feel they could easily relate to Erik and his cooking. I thought the layout of the show was perfect and the technology was great (camera, video’s, etc.). My supervisor…had nothing but positive things to say about the show including, “That was Awesome!” and “We need to have him come back again!”

Michigan Technological University

Alysia Wood

“I just wanted to say again that I thought that your [Alysia Wood] performance was spectacular and I’m really glad you were able to make it to Tech. I think that the things you talked about, like rape culture and mental illness stigma, are important things to talk about and let people know that it’s important to talk about them… Thank you so much again for coming to Tech!!!”

Jalon Falconer, Arkansas Technical University

Wendi Fox

“I have to say that Wendi [Fox] was beyond amazing! She was incredibly well-received and really wow’d us. The students laughed and laughed and more importantly really seemed to get the underlying message, which she delivers in such a receivable way. She even connected personally with a few students afterward – just awesome! I think we would like to plan on having her back next year.”

Fairmont State University

Original Butt Sketch

“The event was one of Treasure Valley’s finest productions in school history. This event could not have been possible without your incredible butt sketch! It has been several weeks since the event and students, staff, and faculty are still raving about their drawings. It was exactly what our college needed to make our event an enjoyable and incredible night.”

Emily Paz, Treasure Valley Community College

Virtual Reality

“Virtual reality was amazing!!! The students loved It, I loved it! Definitely having it back next semester!”

Fernanda Frey, Union College

Shaun Boothe

“…we enjoyed Shaun’s performance & thought it was entirely suitable for our Gr. 5-9 students. Shaun was very personable, professional & taught our students a great deal of valuable lessons.

HollyWoodBigFan, FanPop.com

Paul Ramsay

“Working with him [Paul Ramsay] was an absolute pleasure and a very easy process. He was timely and incredibly flexible with both performance time as well as venue and equipment. He goes above and beyond to interact with our students and staff which contributes to his extraordinary rapport and our continued desire to bring him back to campus.”

Emily Briggs, Western Michigan University

Nick Pike

“Nick Pike went great! Our students loved it! We all enjoy working with him. He is such a great guy, and very personable.”

Marileana, SUNY Plattsburgh

Michael Rosman

“Saw your [Michael Rosman] performance yesterday at SUNY Oswego and loved it. I laughed so hard.

Best of luck in your future endeavors and hope to see your act again.”

Adrienne Lampitelli, Hawai’i Pacific University

Katie Hannigan

“What could easily be spun as a conceit or gimmick turns out to be a refreshing change of pace. Defying an audience’s expectations, after all, is a classic cornerstone of comedy.” [Katie Hannigan]

L. McCarthy, The Comedienne Project@ FrigneNYC ’15

Manat Wooten, Hollins University

Larry Volz

“It went fantastically. We booked Larry [Volz] after our normal hypnotist was snatched up by another school, and we weren’t sure we were going to like someone new, but he was great. Easy to work with and students enjoyed the show.”

Beth Bouchard, Bucknell University

Lady Caress

“I was extremely pleased with the event! Some of the students were graduate students in my graduate program, and really enjoyed the event! One of our students who works for Student Center Programs won most of the rounds, so she was happy about that! The banter and the graphics were really great and were always right on cue!”

Nicole Askew, North Dakota State University

Manat Wooten, Hollins University

Jake Robertson

“Jake [Robertson] was a hit! …Everyone raved about him, not just his music, but his personality. He spent time with the students before and after and did autographs on CDs for everyone.

Crave Online

Brian Miller

Brian’s masterful presentation was punctuated with jaw dropping magic, his personal life experiences, and humor audience participation, all of which underlined his messaged. Highly recommended for any audience which needs to enhance its ability to make others (family, customers, clients, etc.) feel understood and validated – and isn’t that just about everyone?

Barbara Rinaldi, Director of Human Resources, United Way of Connecticut

Brian Miller

“I just wanted to reach out with a quick thank you to you for all your assistance with getting Brian Miller booked for his presentation at Northcentral Technical College.

Thank you to you and Brian for making the event possible.”

Krista, Northcentral Technical College

Brian Miller

“Brian [Miller] was great! We had probably about one of the best turnouts from our families at this show (looking back at the last 5-6 years) and they loved it! Brian had a pretty large group of students and families that stayed after the show to chat and Brian was very accommodating to them and did additional close-up tricks for them. Feedback from others on the Family Weekend committee were also very positive!”
