WAYNE  L.

The most popular question asked by a booker about an entertainer is “What does he do”? Usually the answer is easy - he sings, he’s a comedian, song & dance, magician, impressionist. When the question is asked about Wayne we say “well it’s hard to explain!”  We decided to ask one of our clients that very question after they had seen his show in hopes they could help us out with a good answer.

One said “Oh, he is just the most different, wonderful entertainer that we ever had, everybody just loved him”- (BUT WHAT DOES HE DO?)

“Well it’s kind of hard to describe, but everybody wants him back soon!”

We finally decided the only way for you to find out why he is “so different” “so great” and “so lovable” is to see him!

Whatever it is that Wayne L. does, it was good enough for TV shows like "Star Search", "Deco Drive", & "Live at 11" - and for cruise ships around the world!
