"CAUTION!
This storyteller is known to have sent his
audiences into frequent episodes of full
convulsive laughter. Listeners have complained
(or bragged) about sore muscles for several
days."
—Karl
Hallsten, Producer/Director
Door County Storytelling Festival
"Thank
you, Hardy, for stories both whimsical and wise
with which you enraptured the 'castle' audience
last Sunday afternoon. Parents and children alike
delighted in your animated voices, but
appreciated your quieter moments, as well.
Through the rich details of your stories, the
children were transported, as if by magic, far
from the pop-culture of the nineties—a
miracle indeed.... We hope you'll return before
too long!"
—Trudy

"The Story Guy" in action.
"I am
delighted every opportunity I have to hear Hardy
tell stories. I don't know anyone who has a
greater natural talent for comedy. His sense of
timing is amazing and his ability to create
full-bodied characters in his stories is
unexcelled. Hardy makes stories come to
life!"
—David Keesey

President, Northlands Storytelling Network
"If
you're only going to hear one storyteller at the
festival this year, this is the one not to miss!
He's magic! Funnier than any stand-up comedian,
he offers you a well crafted story with mouthful
after mouthful of delicious meat on the skeleton.
While our festival performances are designed for
adult audiences, this is clearly one performer
everyone in the family will enjoy."
—Karl
Hallsten, Producer/Director
Door County Storytelling Festival
"Hardy
Garrison's flamboyant storytelling antics coupled
with his sensitivity to the subtle nuances of
character held me rapt—when I wasn't trying
to keep a belly laugh from exploding! He has an
innate ability to mine gold from every word,
emotion, and movement."
