   Hi Ellie,

   re: Oscar Night 2010

   It was wonderful to have you at the Drake event. I really think you kicked the

   party up a notch! The Drake is planning on having the Oscar Party next year.

   I am sure they would love to have you again, since we are expecting

   more people next year. Not sure if you can hold that date for the Drake again.

   Thanks again! And you looked fabulous darling!

  Ellie Weingardt, as Joan Rivers, made our clients so happy with her performance
  that they are now trying to tailor their next event specifically to showcase her!
  Professional in every regard, I recommend her unreservedly.

  From: David Stuart c/o The Improv Playhouse

  You were delightful, professional and a wonder to work with. It's unfortunate you
  couldn't stick around for our ensemble...I'd put us up against any group in the
  country...we brought the house down (not too puffy, am I?!). Corporate
  management was thrilled with you. They were talking about it well into dessert.
  We will connect soon and I will consistently offer my contacts and events "Joan"
  as a successful meet, greet and roam option.

  Blessings, have a wonderful holiday and keep smilin'... David

  You are wonderful! your scripting and celebrity characterization for our
  recent corporate event was impeccable as usual. You took an idea and
  expanded the concept and then performed it with "flying colors". It is
  always a pleasure to have you on our entertainment team, no matter what
  the character you are portraying. You are a true professional. Looking
  forward to working with you on many more projects.

  Our weekend in the Dells was filled with laughing, shopping, laughing, eating,
  and more laughing. How could we miss having a great time with a breakfast visit
  from a celebrity? I have never seen Denise speechless. It was a first. Thanks for
  making the morning drive to Hinsdale. Have a wonderful holiday season.
