“Over the years, I have witnessed live performances  by many of show business’ top comedians  and read the words of a great many excellent writers.  Never have the two abilities been combined  as well as they are in the case of McAvoy Layne.”  -Reno public relations legend, Harry Spencer

“The voice of McAvoy Layne as Mark Twain is a song that will play in your head long after you see his performance.  Literacy is a cause McAvoy has a great passion to promote. McAvoy is a generous and giving person, always reaching a hand out to help non-profit organizations help the less fortunate.  McAvoy Layne, Samuel Clemens, and Mark Twain: different names for the same endearing character.”–Lynn Ossolinski, President of the Nevada Library Association
