Honestly, we think this was the best show we've had in a while. Our students are usually really hard to get a response from and he seemed to do it with ease. I'm not just saying that either. Not very many comedians that come get a response from our audience like they did for Sammy, so for that thank you!

Our performance with Sammy went great, thanks! The students gave him a standing ovation, which has never happened with any comedian as long as I’ve been here.

Sammy Obeid was great. He was very funny and interacted well with the audience. It was Dad's Weekend at our school and he was very respectful of this event. His material was phenomenal. I really enjoyed having him and will recommend he comes back next year.

Our students at SUU really enjoyed Sammy. He catered the demographic of our students at this campus which was really appreciated. Sammy showed up on time even though he had a show one hour before our show time. It's been a pleasure working with you and Sammy.

Sammy was fantastic. His set was well over an hour, and he really gauged his audience well. There was never a dull moment with him. The students at Chapman had a fantastic time, and it was clearly much needed stress relief before finals week.  
Thank you so much for working with us on this event! It was really a blast and I was proud to host him for my fellow students.

The show was lovely! We had a small crowd and Sammy tried to interact with us as much as he could. We really appreciated his performance. Thank you so much for taking the time to work with me in figuring out how to host as well! I'm sure future ASA members would love to host again
down the road.

Sammy Obeid is one of the best comedians we've ever had! He performed two shows for us and both were outstanding. He's a rising star. Book him while you can!

I really enjoyed his show a lot and we appreciate him coming out to dinner with us. It was also the first time than an artist has self-promoted on twitter using our hash tag and that helped to get some extra people to come that might not have shown up otherwise.

Our students had a great time last week with Sammy's performance. He had a number of students who had recognized his work on some other shows like Conan. I think his Q&A section really had the students laughing and allowed him to delve into some other comedic acts. He also stayed afterwards to speak with a number of students and other individuals who were interested in getting to know him as well. Please share our appreciation for him attending campus.

It was also very interactive, which was new for us.

The students LOVED him. We had about 35 students join the show, but they all enjoyed it and a lot of them had their cameras on and mics on! He did a great job of engaging with the audience too and asking questions about Regis. He was great!
