Linda was amazing! I hired Linda to perform at my wife's 50th birthday party at a ski lodge in Vermont. Linda was very accomodating and worked with me to complete the details including sneaking her in as a friend and surprising my wife when we introduced Linda as the entertainment for the evening. It's worth noting that our group was only 12 people, ages 21 to 75, which was a concern but Linda was incredible. She actively engaged everyone, knew everyone's name by the end of her performance and had most of us with tears in our eyes from laughing so hard. People were talking about how great she was for hours and into the next morning. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you for entertaining our Sisterhood Members at our Paid Up Sisterhood Membership Dinner last week. Our entire membership, young and old, appreciated your witty and insightful humor. You had us peeing in our pants - literally.
You were also a delight to work with. You made our job very easy. And you were right, laughter is about the best gift that we can give our members these days.

Thank you for making our Comedy Night on 10/18 so successful. Your rapor with the audience was outstanding and the attendees are still raving about the night.. Let's do it again.

Linda was fabulous. She was so funny, we could not stop laughing. In terms of accommodating our schedule, we called her and asked her to go on earlier. She did. We we very pleased with her performance.

My husband hired Linda to perform for my 30th birthday party. She had the whole room in stitches and made it one of those parties that everyone talks about for years!! It was incredible. She spent hours beforehand on the phone with my husband getting detailed information about me for my "roast". She even tailored her performance for the younger children in the crowd. Thanks for making my 30th unforgettable!

She was great! Highly recommended. Small crowd, which can be difficult - but she had us all laughing.

Linda performed at a Hospital event for Case Managers she was very professional and funny. The group was hosted at a lunch followed by Linda she brought the audience in and they enjoyed her very much. We received many calls thanking us for a wonderful luncheon. Many thanks Linda for a job well done. Along with her performance she was on time and followed up before the event.

Linda performed at our 35-Year High School Reunion where about 65 people attended from all over the country. She was great! We all enjoyed her show, it was a great ice-breaker. She asked me a few questions in advance about people in our class, and was able to pick some of them out from their nametags and make them part of the show. It made everyone feel included, and like she was part of our high school crowd! And she is hysterically funny, especially when she gets on a roll. Would DEFINITELY book her again for another event, and I know the other organizers feel the same way. Thanks Linda!

After choosing Linda for our Fire Dept Comedy Night fundraiser, it was immediately obvious that she was a professional. Her questions about the event, as well as some suggestions to us, were very useful. Linda's act was great. She had everyone laughing right from the start. All through the evening people from the community attending our event, all commented on how she was really great to have for our show. There was nothing I would have changed, she did a really great job for us. She's a comedian I will bring back, down the road as our event grows. Thank you Linda!! I'd be happy to talk to anyone considering using Linda for your event.
Andy S - Fire Dept. Fundraiser
Linda was a hit the minute she walked into the room and opened her mouth. She incorporated our profession into her humor as requested and kept the audience in hysterics the entire time she was on stage, ending with a standing ovation! I guess that is an entertainer's ultimate critique of their work. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a comedien and wish her the very best of luck! It was a pleasure to meet and work with her.

Linda showed up to the shower on time with a huge smile on her face. She was hilarious! Geared her material toward being a mom and wife which was perfect for a baby shower with 50 women in the room! Without a doubt I would recommend Linda for any type of party or shower. Side note...after her performance she did take a moment to congratulate the mom to be and reflected on her own experience of being a mom for 19 years which was so sweet and very moving. LOVED her and hope to hire her again some day! Thank you Linda!
Kristen S - baby shower, Cranston, Rhode Island
Wow! Linda was excellent in every way. She was professional, persistent, accomodating, and she stayed in touch every step of the way. She arrived early on the night of the show and was ready to go as soon as we were. Her jokes were very funny and our club members were still talking about her two days after the show. You will not be disappointed if you have Linda do your next event.
Tony C - Branford, CT, August, 2010
this was a 60th birthday party for my wife...we loved Linda..she had us laughing so hard...one of my guests almost fell out of her seat...her delivery was perfect and she was able to incorporate jokes (from the things we told her)as if she knew my wife...she was on time and started when she told me she would start..that's a real plus for me...
Paul K - NYC
Dear Linda, Just a little note with a BIG thank you for making us laugh at our Donor Function Sunday, May 16. You were terrific and left us in great spirits knowing that our Hadassah event was a huge success - "Because of You"!!! Again, Thank You! With much appreciation - wishing you continued success.
Fondly, E. Lowenberg - May, 2010
Linda was terrific; she gave us a great, fast-paced show with many laughs. The audience was very receptive and obviously enjoyed her very much, judging by the feedback that I received. She was onstage for about 55 minutes--and her act had a nightclub feel--quick, funny and irreverent.She was also very accommodating--willing to adjust her act according to the sensibilities of the audience. I highly recommend Linda.
Irene S - 5/2/2010, Fundraiser, Middletown, CT
From our first phone call I knew Linda was going to be the perfect entertainment for my sister's bridal shower. She's a funny lady all the time, not just when she's on stage. Her professionalism made me, the control freak matron of honor, relaxed and confident that our guests were in for a fun afternoon. She delivers exactly what she promises; the young hipsters AND grandmothers were all in stitches! I strongly recommend Linda Belt to anyone looking to take their event up a notch. Linda, thank you so much for making Diana's Bridal Shower a day she (and her closest gal pals) will not soon forget.
Kate B - 3/20/2010, Shower, Branford, CT
Linda thank you!! All the comics were unbelievable and both Ray and myself appreciate everything you did for our organization. I was recently contacted by the president asking for your number and requesting to do another show towards the end of the year. So hopefully we will see you again soon.

This was our first Comedy Night and Linda was a tremendous help through every step of the process. We sold out our event and Linda was a big hit! I am still getting compliments on what a fantastic event it was and they can't wait to come to the next one! Thank you Linda!
Amy S - 2/13/2010, Community Event, Sherman, CT
Linda Belt was incredible!!! I would definitely hire her again for another event. I have also had people ask me about her who had been at our venue. Everyone had rave reviews for Linda! I had no doubts that she would do an awesome job. I always had a great time talking with her on the phone so I knew she would knock the crowd out.
Lisa L - 11/13/2009, Celebration, Newington, CT

Gail G - 11/15/09, MA
Linda was wonderful. Truly made our dinner a hit. She was professional, on time and I would use Linda again.

Linda Belt entertained us at our Holiday party and she was terrific. I received great feedback from everyone about her great jokes and the way she fashioned her act towards our group. Love the big equipment jokes!! Thank you, Linda!!!!
-Celine L, Christmas Party, Meriden, CT, 2008
She was funny. They loved her and she did exactly what she said she would (make us laugh!) without offending. I'd book her again in a heartbeat.
-Margo C, Convention, Southington, CT, 2009
Hi Linda,
Just wanted to thank you for your performance last night at the hospital. You were well received. Lots of positive feedback! Everyone had a really good time and laughed their heads off! Amazing how much we all have in common. Everyone said they could really relate to your jokes. I especially enjoyed it. You are one funny lady. Thanks again for making our Comedy Night a great night out for our staff.

Linda
I just want you to know what a great comedienne you are. Everyone enjoyed every minute of it. Kenny is a very happy man today after such a fun night. I am especially grateful to my BFF for finding you.
We will look for you when we need a good night of laughter.
Have a great summer!!
S.R.
Linda,
Thank you again for your wonderful show! Everyone absolutely loved it. I got a tremendous amount of positive feedback. Something funny, light and not about work was exactly what the crowd needed to end their evening!
Many thanks!

"Linda Belt has proven her mastery of the art of comedy, making those around her laugh and enjoy her presence.
Linda takes what we all see, do, wear, shop for, eat, talk about and whatever else and manages to make us all look at the absurdity and humor in our lives and the world around us. Unlike the talking-heads of television who can also make us think about our lives, Linda has a way of bringing the world into focus from the perspective of a Jewish daughter of hard-working Jewish parents from the gritty streets of Jersey City, NJ. That vantage point, and the baggage that travels with it, can take the most insurmountable in our lives and make us laugh at our position and take a new look at the possible outcomes.
Okay, so you may have some issues with bringing a loose cannon of comedic entertainment into your House of Worship, I can understand your reluctance. All that I can say is that having seen Linda handle her material and the audience in front of her with agility and sensitivity, while still being able to have the audience in near painful "stitches," I would highly recommend that you welcome Linda into your House and let her work her magic into reality."
-S. Levine
I want you to know that we may need you back in the spring – all of the feedback was tremendously positive and while others have been proposing other types of events all of the ladies are pushing for another ladies comedy night! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! It was a pleasure!
I must tell you our pastor rarely comments on school events and he personally came over to tell me that he heard nothing but great things with our ladies night – my hats off to you Linda for making our event such a success!
Thanks again!
- Terry
Hi Linda,
You are so gifted as a comic. I had the true pleasure of seeing you today at the luncheon given to the PreSchool teachers at the Comfort Inn. I did not know that our Director hired a comic...so you were truly a gift! Just a little side note...please thank your Mom for me, I will no longer be eating the pretzel out of the bowls!!!!!
-Cheryl C.
"We were at Lake Morey in Vermont this past weekend and you were fabulous!!!
... It was great just to laugh and relate to all of the things you were saying about family life. Your husband, your children and of course the PTA. We loved it and laughed out loud. We did not know there was going to be a comedian there for the ladies weekend and it was a big bonus for us. Thanks for the fun!"

“She’s versatile enough to use in any slot, although I prefer to have her close a show for the simple reason that I would never want to follow her. She’s that strong!!”
- Barbara Jurgelas, Comic / Booker
“Your opening act was exactly what we had envisioned and hoped for to begin the program. Some of the comments that we received were ‘delightful, fantastic and loved her!’ You have an amazing gift!”
