Benjamin Franklin by Barry Stevens

I was lucky enough to work with Barry/Ben recently at a Birthday Party. He is kind, engaging, professional and extremely fun to work with. He seamlessly mingles and engages with everyone with his wit and charm. I look forward to working with Barry/Ben again.

Barry did an exceptional job in portraying Ben Franklin in a video for the US Postal Inspection Service. We strongly recommend him. He rivals the late Ralph Archibald, the famous BF impersonator out of Philadelphia!

I invited Barry, or should I say Ben, to entertain guests at my birthday party (Turned 25) and it could not have gone better. Ben was excellent at mingling with guests and everyone I spoke with said they had a great experience. He had so many great facts and was a great addition to the evening.

I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Ben for any event you have!

Absolutely fantastic. Barry showed up in full garb to a bachelor party of hardcore “The Office” fan and he delivered. He was extremely knowledge and the character was great. He was educational and funny and had no problem joking in the festivities! Everyone we told was extremely jealous - we will definitely be using Barry again!

Was throwing a book party for an author who wrote a fascinating travel book about Thomas Jefferson. Went on Gig Salad looking for colonial musicians. Barry contacted me, said he would mingle with the crowd (about 50 people) and tell stories related to Jefferson. I only told guests that there would be a special guest. Barry was a huge hit, telling stories and posing for pictures. Very nice man.

Barry Stevens' performance of Ben Franklin was nothing short of spectacular. It was not only throughly entertaining but educational. Our residents at The Virginian Retirement Community were totally engaged and captivated by Mr. Stevens knowledge and skill. We will definitely have him back in the near future.

Ben,
Socialized with the people , posed for pictures, and was very entertaining. Always in character.

Great interaction. Very knowledgeable!

Barry Steven’s shared a wealth of information about Benjamin Franklin with our students in two assemblies. He was well received and much was learned.

Barry was very professional. As Benjamin Franklin, he always remained in character as he reached into innumerable memories from Bens perspective. It was an utterly captivating performance and not difficult at all to suspend reality to go with him. It was as if we were listening to Ben himself. I hope to hire him again for future events and highly recommend!

He was well -received and charmed our guests!
Ben Franklin is our new BFF!

Benjamin Franklin by Barry Stevens was a guest at our wedding last night. Benjamin was absolutely amazing. He was engaging and charming. He was an amazing addition to the wedding celebration and thoroughly entertaining. I would highly recommend him for any event.

Ben presented a great impression on our group and was enjoyed by all. He was very personable, talked to many in the group, and enjoyed lunch with us after his presentation. He was prompt, and ready to perform when we had him scheduled.

Our company has hired Ben Franklin by Barry Stevens three times in the past 18 months to support us in national tradeshow events. Ben consistently draws a huge crowd and is extremely engaging with our prospects while always remaining in character. During quiet moments at our booth, Ben wanders out in the aisles and solicits attendees to visit with us. While I attend many tradeshows in the course of a year as an exhibitor, I have never seen a phenomenon quite like this and he has become a rock star in our world! A neighboring exhibitor at our most recent event at the Philadelphia Convention Center approached me at the end of a 3 day show to thank me for all of the booth traffic that spilled over to his booth because of Ben Franklin!
Ben Franklin by Barry Stevens is an amazing personality and we will call on him again.

This is the second time our company has hired Ben Franklin (Barry) for our trade show events. Ben not only poses for pictures he works the crowds like no other. He pulls people in off the aisles with his personality and they love him! We had more leads than booths three times our size and we had lines to come into our booth to see Ben. After three days our lines were still as strong as day one. If we can use Ben again we certainly will. He is a people magnet and has a wonderful presence. Thank You Ben!

We asked Benjamin Franklin to be the entertainment for my Father-In-Law's 100th Birthday celebration. We asked Ben to give a short talk, a toast, and lead the singing of Happy Birthday as the cake was brought in.
Looking like Benjamin Franklin in dress and manner, Barry graciously and humorously made us feel that we were back in Colonial times. Our 50+ guests thoroughly enjoys him and wanted to know how we had found him! Thank you, Barry!
