"Kirk visited our college recently and put on, in my
opinion, an exhilarating, show-stopping performance. I was
totally enthralled the whole time with the power of his
words and how he used his voice. If you are looking for
something atypical yet at the same time an amazing
experience at your college, then check out Kirk!
Personally, I think he's better than any band or comedian
we've had here at Concord."

"Hi Kirk, I got your book "The Unpopular Truth" from a
friend in Florida. I was on my way from West Palm Beach to
Tampa and reading the book. Sometimes I was laughing,
before I realize I was crying. You motivated me to make
some major changes in my life. Thank you so much."

does amazing things with words. He is also one of the most
