Your show was great...like everyone else said you got the point across at a different angle from what we have been preached to since our freshman year. You really made me stop and think about my actions and my life, and I thank you for that! Your brother Sean sounds like an awesome guy, and he is lucky to have a brother like you =) Thanks again for coming to SRU and hope to see you soon! Bernie!

It was a pleasure meeting you and having you on campus. I will admit normally I don’t get into the comedy act however, you had me cracking up all night. Thank you for making a difference in students' lives. Your dedication is greatly appreciated; I hope we can work together again in the future. Thanks so much - Renee Bernie –

I thought your show was amazing. I loved the Nyquil bit. I think your story is a great way to spread the word about alcohol abuse. You had the entire softball team laughing it up. I want to say thanks for making me laugh and the evening one to remember. Hey! I thought your show was amazing. I loved the Nyquil bit.

We were kind of forced into coming and I was just getting ready for, as you elquently put it, an old guy with a slide show of pictures and me almost falling asleep. You made it alot of fun though, and you had me choking I was laughing so hard. I especially liked the joke about going to a club, telling a woman your name and she goes, 'ok goodnight.' It made me think of my friend back home, Samy. Me and him would go to the club all the time and he would constantly get shut down not because of his name, but because he was 5'6", long hair like Polamalu, and egyptian. You really got your message across well also. It made me think about how much I go out and drink and how much mroe I should be focusing on my studies. Thanks again for coming and keep up the good work! - Jason P. Bernie –

Your presentation was wonderful! I went there dreading the fact that we were going to have to sit through some hour long lecture about how drugs and alcohol were bad for us, the same things i've heard all of my life. But you found a way to make it fun, and still get your point across. I've had to sit through a lot of "drug and alcohol awareness" type lectures, and even though i dont participate in these things anymore, this lecture actually made me think. Great Job!

You had me in tears I was laughing so hard. You really got a great point across and it was not boring. I was really not looking forward to going but I am very glad that I did. Thanks for coming to SRU I think that it opened up some students eyes. I wish some of my friends could have been there. I do have a question do you only go to colleges or do you do high schools too because I think that your show would be very good for high school level students too. I had a great time thanks again.
