Holly played Bette Midler at my husband’s 70th birthday party, which had a 70’s/disco theme. Working with Holly on her surprise appearance and 35 minute performance could not have been a better experience, start to finish! She was BETTE all the way! Fun, funny, engaging, and a terrific singer! Our 65 guests – mostly choral singers – raved about her, and during the show joined in the punch lines of her iconic Bette jokes. Her performance of Wind Beneath My Wings was sublime and the perfect poignant moment. She is a truly class act. Not only that, she took material that I gave her in advance and did a dynamite job working it into Bette’s banter about him and involving him in the performance. She even re-worked the lyrics of Hello Dolly to make it about him. Throughout the planning and the entire evening, she was engaged, responsive, creative, flexible, and encouraging. Thanks, Holly, for helping make the celebration so very special.

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Wow- thank you Jack for this amazing review! It was a fun night for me too and a pleasure to work with you. I was so happy to be a part of Fred’s 70th birthday party. From the bottom of my heart, much appreciated!!
Holly impersonated Marilyn Monroe and Joan Rivers at our corporate event. She first came out as Marilyn and later in the evening as Joan. Both impersonations were dead on! More importantly, she was professional and appropriate for a corporate party. She mingled with our guests, told jokes, and posed for photos. Everyone loved her!
During the planning stages, Holly was always easy to reach and fast to respond. We would definitely hire Holly again.

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Thank you, Jose! It was so nice getting to know you and working with your great group. I look forward to an encore! Have a wonderful holiday.
Holly gave an amazing performance. We expected to be entertained (and we were!), but we were delighted at how much "Joan" did to make our meeting work better. From incorporating loners into conversations to encouraging people to pose for photos and shepherding the group from one location to another, Holly made the whole evening easier for our official coordinators and more fun for everyone. She has a practiced eye--she very accurately gauged who needed a gentle greeting and who was up for a little more rowdiness. Holly's performance added laughter and levity. Our investment in her appearance was worth every penny.

Amy,
Many thanks for your review! I appreciate the hospitality you showed me, the goodies and all the compliments. Your group was great to work with!
On behalf of my community Jewish Heritage Club, I contracted with Holly Faris to visit as Joan Rivers during our Hanukkah celebration. She had everyone in the audience in stitches. I would highly recommend Holly for audience entertainment.

Thank you so much Kelly & Grettel, what a great group, and so glad I could be a part of Shannon‘s retirement party!
Holly made a video of Cher for my brother’s 60th Birthday. It was hilarious. She took the little information I gave her about my brother and tied it into Cher songs and stories. I am so happy I was able to work with her in this. She is also super nice, gracious, and responsive. I highly recommend her for a keepsake gift that will entertain and never be forgotten!

We hired Holly Faris for a video conference call birthday party and it was a huge hit! She was extremely professional to deal with and was great with personalizing the jokes and songs for the birthday girl! Holly’s comedy and Uncanny impersonations made this Birthday event very special even tough it was during the quarantine! She even worked in a Birthday call from Hillary Clinton at no extra charge!

Thanks for your very kind review Dwayne. So glad you enjoyed the show!
We hired Holly as Cher for a Music themed charity art auction, and we were not disappointed! Holly kept things fun and engaging, whether she was at the mic leading the live auction bidding portion of the night, or walking around mingling with guests. Holly has an exceptional ability to read/control an audience and think on her feet, and is one of the funniest performers I’ve seen in a long time. Her quips on the mic were priceless and had the audience in stitches. She was so funny, it kind of feels like we got two for one (Cher And a hilarious comedian).
Her sparkling personality and tactics used to stimulate stagnant bidding no doubt played a big part in getting the financial return we did from the auction. She is worth her weight in gold, and was a huge asset in the overall success of our night. Thank you, Holly!

Jenna,
Thank you for this most generous review! From beginning to end, you were a pleasure to work with and your crowd was wonderful, warm and receptive. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I love what I do and can’t believe I am lucky enough to call this work, as it is always so much fun for me. I’m so happy I was able to add to the cause and get the funds needed to keep Montessori School going strong!
Warmest Regards,
Holly
Wow. We were simply wowed by Holly as Tina Turner. Performing at the home of a friend celebrating his 70th birthday, she tackled the wooden pool deck in platform heels and dealt with a few technical issues with the music with such humor and finesse, I was quite impressed. She is quite the performer. And a great time was had by all.
I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS UNBELIEVEABLE SHOW BY ONE WOMEN. HER TALENT IS 10 STAR SHE MADE OUR PARTY A HUGE SUCCESS WITH NO ONE GOING HOME DISAPPOINTED.
HER IMPERSONATIONS WERE GREAT AND HAD US ALL AT THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS. JOAN RIVERS, CHER WITH AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION WAS SUPER. TINA TURNER WITH HER BACK UP DANCERS FROM THE AUDIENCE WAS SUPER FUN. HOLLY WAS A REAL ENTERTAINER A REAL PROFESSIONAL AND SINGING BETTE MIDLERS "WINGS BENEATH MY FEET" SHOWED US THE RANGE AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE SHE HAS.
HOLLY IS A REAL TALENT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THEIR PARTY TO BE A SUCCESS. NOT ONLY ONE STANDING OVATION BUT SEVERAL FOR A VERY TALENTED LADY.

Thank you Beverly! It was my first attempt at doing a half hour Bette Midler show, now I have lots of material for future shows! Your crowd was very kind, complimentary and appreciative. It was a lovely way to spend the Fourth of July -thank you again!
Holly put our event over the top! She is professional and extremely talented. I hired her for my boss' 50th birthday as a surprise, as Marilyn Monroe. She sang Marlyn's "Happy Birthday Mr President" (plus couple more songs), she also worked with me to adjust the lyrics to suit our situation. Holly made my boss' day. He said it was his best birthday party and gift ever! Thanks Holly!! Love ya. Can't wait to have an opportunity to hire you again! 💖

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Anita,
Thank you for all the kind words. ISo glad I could add to the merriment of Mr. President's birthday!
Look forward to working with you again.
Holly was a delight to work with....from our first contact to the end. She performed at my mother's birthday party. Her stand-up as Joan Rivers was incredible. I actually felt like I was in the presence of Joan Rivers. Holly looked like her, sounded like her, and was so, so funny! Everyone enjoyed themselves....even the kids who didn't know who Joan was. Such a great time....the highlight of our night. Holly is so talented. Highly recommend for your event.
After booking this Donald Trump impersonator at the last minute, I was very nervous as to how good he would be, especially for the price we paid. Well he did not disappoint! He was great, funny, and worked the room. He made people laugh and everyone was having a great time with him. Nice guy too!

John, Thank you so much -it was a great night performing for your fun group! I so appreciate your wonderful review ! "Hollary"
Holly did a birthday video for a friend, and it was the best. Deb (the birthday girl) said it was the best present ever. Holly was great in incorporating the things we told her, made it very personal. Deb would say, what.... how'd she know that?
I would not hesitate to do this again for another friend.

Happy holidays, Holly
Holly was Marilyn Monroe for my Husbands 75th Birthday party.
She was great! Everyone enjoyed her show and my husband will never forget her.
Marilyn Monroe Impersonator
Hiring Holly Faris was the best decision I made when I went with a Joan Rivers Fashion Police party. No other impersonator could have been as spot on for Joan. No other impersonator could have been as quick witted and at the moment funny with my guests. If you want Joan Rivers at your party, hiring Holly Faris is the only way!
Joan Rivers Impersonator
Holly did an amazing job as Lucile Ball ! (I'm smiling right now because it was such a memorable night, that she added too!). As a hard core lover for I love Lucy, Holly nailed it as her character. 70% of my friends have heard of I Love Lucy but never really watched it but she had the whole room laughing when she did her vitametavegin act! I would HIGHLY recommend her ! I could go on and on about Holly but I Love Lucy is on and well.. :)

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Thank you so much Lisa/ it was so fun to do your party!! Uh- oh I hear Ricky calling...
I wanted to do something that my mother or any of her guest would never forget. Holly as Joan Rivers did just that. Not only did she look, sound and act just like Joan, she was hysterical. Joan made my mother's party the talk of the town!
Joan Rivers Impersonator
Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Dianna, thank you so much -your momis a gem and so are you! It was a great party and I'm glad I was there!
Holly is excellent for your corporate parties, black tie events or special personal occasions.
Holly performed at our corporate Holiday party. She was extremely professional, on time and gave a performance that the entire audience loved.
She added personal touches to bring our "group" into her performance.
Excellent for "meet and greats" in the Red Carpet in addition to stand up performances. We had her do both at our party.
May the real Joan Rivers Rest in Peace. Thank goodness we have Holly to carry on the wonderful memories.

Holly had a wonderful show for Cedarbrook Country Club in Blue Bell, Pa. She had the ladies laughing and banging on the table! Every time she changed her outfit she became that person. We just loved her, great show. She went into the audience with the ladies and they responded with excitement. Also the DJ she had was excellent along with her and her timing.

Kathy,
what a nice crowd, was so glad Dan enjoyed it! Thank you!
I had Holly as a Joan Rivers impersonator for my bachelorette party and she was like the real Joan Rivers. The way she moved, acted, sounded and looked was just like Joan Rivers. Holly is able to improv with people and come up with the same jokes as Joan and just as quick. We were all dying laughing. Really couldn't ask for anything better and still talking about it weeks later.

I had so much fun with you and the girls! Thanks for the great review and have a fabulous wedding!
Lucille Ball showed up to my brother's 60th birthday party last night! Holly did such a fantastic job not only in her impersonation but she lit up the room with her personality! Holly is very talented and is such a warm, sweet person. Highly recommend!

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Mike, thank you! Joe's party was so fun and I'm happy I could add to the merriment!
I've spent my career in the high end fashion arena. How else should I celebrate my"59 + 1 birthday. My idol Joan Rivers was present to do her red carpet gig, engage my friends with typical Joan humor, and set a mood for all my " fashionistas". I would do it all over again and only with Holly. A class act!
Joan Rivers Impersonator
Holly looked like dynamite, aka Marilyn Monroe, was dressed to the nines and sang 4 songs that sounded just like Marilyn. Holly coordinated seamlessly with the DJ while she worked the crowd of about 100 people.
After her 20 minute show, she spent a generous amount of time posing for pictures with the guests. While I hired her to do MM, Holly generously offered to do Joan Rivers at the beginning of the evening (at no extra charge), but logistics didn't work out for that. She drove down to Leesburg, VA for this gig. Of all the impersonators that I reviewed, Holly was the most expensive but confirmed my belief that you get what you pay for!
Marilyn Monroe Impersonator
Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity, Patrice! I'm glad we wowed Ron as planned!!
Holly was amazing at our Employee Holiday Party two weeks ago. It was an award show themed event with red carpet, so she stood on our red carpet in front of a step and repeat and greeted guests upon entering. Everyone got to hear her one liners and jokes and then get a photo with her. We still have employees talking about how funny she was and retelling her jokes. You wouldn't know the difference between her and the "real" Joan. Just fabulous!!

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:
thank you so much, Missi. It was a pleasure working with you and the employees of the PCC for the PCC awards!
Holly was easy to work with, professional and very witty. She kept the attention of our attendees the entire time as Joan Rivers and never used a joke twice. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!

After doing a few google searches, we came across Holly and were very interested in her coming along to our shoot for a corporate event. The expectations were high and Holly surpassed all of them and more. Hysterical. Completely hysterical. We could not stop laughing. I would not have any hesitation in recommending Holly for your event.

She truly has the gift of entertaining the crowds and a delivering a first class act to any event!

I brought my Mother and Grandmother to see Holly as a mothers day gift. None of us were prepared for the amazing show we just saw. Amazing! The talent that Holly has is beyond anything we have ever seen before, and we have seen quite a bit. My grandmother who just turned 84 marks seeing Holly as the highlight of her entire life. I know...but it's true. Holly's ability to switch from performer to performer in a matter of seconds blew the entire crowd away! She completely becomes the performer. Starting with Joan Rovers and switching to Bette (which was so spot on it was scary!), Liza-Cher-Dolly-Marilyn-Tina-and on and on. We never wanted the show to end. She also was able to get my husband up on stage with her to be a Tina background singer. My husband does not do that...ever...but he did it for Holly! Best show ever. And most genuine performer ever. After the show she came to our table to personally talk with my mother and grandmother. She signed autographs and took pictures with us. It was not just a show-she created memories we will share for a life time.

In a word, "WOW" - Not only did the bride and groom love it, but we're still getting calls 3 months later about how fantastic our wedding was. "The best wedding we have ever been to", "Joan was beyond funny" to name a few of the comments we have heard. We had the best day of our lives thus far and we owe a large part of that to Holly. She really knows what she's doing and does it very, very well. Coud not have asked for a better entertainer.
Joan Rivers Impersonator
Holly is a wonderful person and a spectacular performer. I have seen Joan Rivers twice perform in Atlantic City. Holly did an amazing impersonation of Joan Rivers--and was able to craft the funniest jokes as the night went on during our employee holiday party. I would recommend Holly without reservation for anyone looking for a way to make a great night a spectacular evening!
Joan Rivers Impersonator
Holly was the complete professional. I had asked her to conduct pre-Oscar interviews with our members, followed by a comedy routine on our main stage, then the awarding of the Oscars with improvisation. Every step of the way, Holly wowed our members. As Entertainment chairman, she made my job easier and virtually guaranteed the success of the event.

Response from Holly Faris as Joan, Hillary, Marilyn, Tina and more.:

Holly as Joan pepped up our bridal shower with fun marriage advice and fashion critiques. Easy to work with, calm, professional - we couldn't have been more pleased.

Holly was brilliant. Her Barbara Streisand and Cher routines were special are had everyone smiling and enjoying. Got really lucky with taking a chance on her and hitting a grand slam. My wife was stunted. Everyone at our party has remarked - "The party of all parties".

From greeting our guests on the Red Carpet to singing Happy Birthday to Chamber Members for our 125th Birthday Gala, you were perfect!!!! Everyone is buzzing in Delaware County about how you are soooo your character-funny as Joan Rivers, gorgeous as Marilyn Monroe, and overall the perfect accent to a great evening. If given the opportunity, we will definitely have you entertain us again.
Joan Rivers Impersonator, Marilyn Monroe Impersonator
I hired Joan Rivers (aka Holly Farris) to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. Holly was a real pleasure to work with from the very first time we spoke on the phone and she helped to create a truly unique and memorable event. In fact, she even wrote a special song for the event which we listen to on a regular basis. If you are looking for something special for your event (large or small), you can't go wrong by hiring Holly Farris, a first class entertainer who knows how to put everyone at ease. Booking Holly guarantees you a lot of fun, a lot of laughter and a lot of great memories.

When asked to find entertainment for our synagogue's annual "closing event," I discovered Holly Faris and her Diva Doubles on Gig Salad. Right from the start, I could see (and hear) that Holly had just what we were looking for! Originally, we had wanted a Barbra Streisand impersonator; however, thanks to Holly, we also had Joan Rivers, Cher, The Nanny and Carol Channing! In a matter of seconds, Holly transformed from one diva to another, capturing their looks, voices and mannerisms with amazing results. (Her Cher routine, which enlisted the help of an audience member as Sonny, will be talked about for years!) Holly is a real professional who was great to work with and helped make this a truly memorable event. I certainly hope to see her perform again!

We hired Holly aka.. JOAN RIVERS to entertain at our Halloween Party...at our home. We had 51 very pleased, guests that still can't stop talking about her performance. She did "red carpet" and some comedy... She was fantastic and would recomment her to all ! As a matter of fact, We live in an Adult Community and Holly is talking with the Lifestyle Director to possibly perform out our New Year's Eve Party...and that will consist of approx. 300 guests...that I am sure she will have in stitches. Great Job Holly....and We certainly would highly recommend her to all...she is a true professional.
Joan Rivers Impersonator
Holly was very witty and on her toes, greeting and mingling with 200+ guests at our daughter's sweet 16 party. Really made event even better! Her impersonation was right on! Many guests were really convinced it was Joan! Holly is a must for anyone looking for top grade entertainment!
Joan Rivers Impersonator
The SRO house rocked and roared to the impersonations of Holly Faris. From the moment she entered the auditorium with her abbreviated One-Woman-Show as the sharp tongued Joan Rivers, Holly captivated the crowd with the naughty antics of Rivers, Minnelli, Midler, Streisand and finally as herself. Alliance for Living is hoping Holly will come back soon to Mystic to delight the crowd with her full blown show. Sandy Brindamour, Executive Director, Alliance for Living
I have seen Holly Faris on numerous occasions from 1995 thru 2010 and if you are looking for the best entertainment someone can provide, you must go see Holly The Diva.
She is the best !!!
Outstanding ! Beautiful ! Excellent !
Ed Maloney #1 Fan
I must thank you for providing us with such a delightful and fun evening. Your performance was amazing. As soon as you put a wig on and then turned around you magically became the personality you were impersonating. That's incredible.
Please let us know where or when you will be doing another show. I can't promise I'll attend but I would like to.
Bob wasn't there because he was on a business trip. But he, too, wants to see one of your shows.
Good job and you looked fabulous darling!
I serve on the board of a non-profit and I chaired their first gala last year. Holly was hired as Joan Rivers to great the guests while boarding the dinner cruise. Later in the evening Holly appeared as Tina Turner and sang three songs. She exceeded our expectations. Her performances were amazing. She is not only a dot-on visual impersonator, but she executes the voices and mannerisms perfectly. As Joan Rivers she engaged each guest with witty reparte upon boarding and took a photograph with each guest. She was warm and vivacious during that entire stint. After dinner, Tina Turner performed like a champ. After she sang her songs, she went from table to table where people could speak with Tina, get photograpsh, etc. Again Holly was engaging throughout that portion of the event. Holly did a fabulous job for a fair price. I will hire again when the next opportunity presents itself.
Joan Rivers Impersonator, Tina Turner Impersonator
I can’t say enough great things about you and John! WOW! Joan was a huge success the night of the dinner! People were still talking about it at the Trade Show the next day! Marilyn and Lucy were just as fabulous and Rocky and Elvis were amazing! I think people were just as impressed that it was the same 2 people doing all those characters! I am so glad we had the opportunity to work together, and I would LOVE some information on the team building program that you have! Can I use enough exclamation points? Nope! I hope you guys had fun… I know it was a…mixed…crowd, but everyone loved you!

Influences & Inspiration
Holly has imitated Joan Rivers since she was five years old. She remembers how happy she was being allowed to stay up and watch Joan on the Ed Sullivan show. How amazing that almost 20 years later she'd appear in NY on Joan's tv talk show dressed as Joan Rivers. Joan was so much fun, even asking her if she remembered any of the jokes from Ed Sullivan, which Holly provided to a laughing Joan Rivers. Holly loves to perform as her hero, Joan Rivers, because “it allows me to make people laugh and it always challenges my comic improvisation.” People are always good natured and know it's all in good fun, even when Holly as Joan, like the real Joan Rivers, turns most of the jokes on herself.

"People are still raving about your impersonations of Joan Rivers, Cher and Tina Turner. Your comedy routines and singing brought the house down and made our show one that all in attendance will remember for a long time in the future. You might find it interesting that several guests remarked that they could not believe one woman could do such incredible impersonations of three very different celebrities."
– Donna Marie Gove, President

"This writer always enjoys good entertainment and the new show at the Claridge Casino Hotel, Viva La Diva, is just that, a really good show. Of course, one reason is that the show's emcee, Holly Faris, is a favorite. Not only does Holly Faris do Joan Rivers so well, she does the comedienne well for about fifteen minutes…a perfect Cher, singing "I Got You, Babe…it's good Holly fun…a terrific show. Viva La Diva!"
– Lou Perri
"There are several reasons to recommend the Frank Gorshin show, his talent, and an equally impressive opening act, impressionist Holly Faris."
