Feedback was great for you and Warren. The only complaint was that we did not have you both nights. I must admit that the head table got up and left on Saturday night.

Thanks again & hope to see you soon.” –Hitterdal Lions Club “I just wanted to send a belated thank you for the wonderful concert you put on for the Lions in Mahnomen, MN last month.

Artist Representation for Event Entertainment (Private Events, Company Parties, Theaters/PAC's, Fairs/Festivals) G.L. Berg Entertainment is the largest entertainment agency in the country doing what we do — providing the very best in professional and affordable stage show entertainers for a wide variety of clients. Thank you for your interest in working with our agency. We are always looking for the best professional entertainers to offer to our clients. We have many talented people contact us each year to inquire about having our company book them at events. The most important thing we look for is finding a good fit between our client base and the acts we work with. Historically, our clients are looking foremost for entertainment that is fun, and they are looking for artists to perform at events where they can laugh, be energized, and have a good time. In order to help determine whether an act is a good fit with our clients, we ask that you do the following. Email a complete promotional package (with video, photo, bio, references, and pricing information) to Gary Berg at gary@glberg.com . When we receive your information, we’ll review it and if we think you’d be a good fit with the work we do, we’ll be in touch to set up a time to visit and see your show. We do try to get back to people within a month, but sometimes, due to the volume of material we receive and our work schedules, it may take a little longer. If you do not have a professional video clip (approximately 2-3 minutes) and high quality professional photos, please do not submit until you have obtained those items, as we will not review your materials.
