"Captivates his audience. Anything  and everything that happens onstage or offstage during a Rudolf concert becomes fair game for his disarming wit."   The Chicago Sun Times

Newsweek--- One of the most frequently recommended college acts

Millikin University--- The audience loved you-- no performer who comes to our campus gets people involved or makes them laugh the way you can. Some left with stomach aches from laughing so hard.

The Rapport, IN--- Dave Rudolf, the slightly weird, super talented, and mega versatile entertainer kept the crowd laughing. His blend of serious ballads, original ditties, and one liners, made the hour pass quickly.

Univ of Texas/San Antonio--You were fantastic. The crowd really loved your show; I’ve heard several of the students repeating lines from your songs. We were all extremely pleased with the turnout.

Campus Programming Magazine--- In live performances, Rudolf’s appeal is widespread. His albums combine humorous lyrics about improbable situations with melodies that would be at home on the Top 40, R&B, and blues charts.---Rollicking tunes with clever lyrics.

The Daily Illini--- Dave Rudolf is a rare blend of musicianship and comedy. He introduced a fascinating array of musical characters with a wit that was both ingratiating and disarming.....He doesn’t just let the audience in on what he’s doing, he makes them a part of it.

Western Carolina University--- Dave Rudolf’s show 

is a real treat. For two hours he kept the audience screaming 

with laughter... they gave him two standing ovations... and are

 already demanding to have him back.

McHenry County College--- Your performance

 was a truly  memorable experience. Our students loved 

you!

W-FUN Radio --  We love Dave Rudolf at PLANET FUN.  You’ll be dancing and singing as much as we do.

Campus Activities Today---Dave Rudolf is one of the pioneers in the developing Children and Family programming market. Now with interest from major children and family media creators, he is one of the hottest tickets in the campus arena.

Columbus Alive!--- Dave Rudolf is known for going beyond the cutsie melodies usually associated with kids tunes: his music is full of entertaining lyrics written with children's active imaginations in mind. "Aunt Sarah's Got a Booger" is a huge hit off his album, Kids Don't Listen to This". His show is filled with sing-a-longs (for parents too!) that leave everyone humming for days to come.

Exploration Station- A Children’s Museum---   Dave Rudolf’s show for kids is funny, fast-paced, and full of energy. He captures the kids with silly songs, funny hats, and charming wit, and then takes them on an adventure into music and comedy for kids. Excitement abounds! Kids love his show and so do we!

Bay De Noc Com College, MI ---What a terrific show! We had standing room Only for both kids and their parents. Everyone loved the Show! What a treat to see a program that both children and their parents can enjoy together.

BRANT MILLER,  WGN KIDS RADIO, CHICAGO----DAVE

LARRY GARD-- INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S MUSEUM---You have a great talent for capturing and holding an audience, and  they  responded to your music and comedy with great enthusiasm and  enjoyment. Congratulations on having an act that is refreshingly  unique, 

delightfully optimistic, effectively progressive, and artistically

 polished. This is wonderful  entertainment.

stories, and audience participation keep our young patrons both 

involved and thoroughly entertained. One of our consistently 

most popular acts in our series.
