Indiana University-South Bend, South Bend, IN 01/23/14 100 University Grill 5555-55 Despite blizzard conditions for most of his drive here, Adam arrived EARLY and excited! His contact before and after the show have shown how dedicated he is to maintaining a relationship with the institution. We had Seniors telling us that Adam Grabowski was the best performer we've ever brought in. Adam interacts with the crowd before, during and after his show in such a way that everyone felt a part of the experience. In fact, a month later I still see students wearing his merchandise and referencing his jokes. He really made a great impression and we are definitely looking to book him again as soon as we can!
