“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
He might be the most conceited ass in the territory, but at 181 he can golf his age…
“McAvoy Layne is the second best impressionist of Mark Twain in the world.”
-Mama Layne
“McAvoy is an ambassador of the arts wherever he performs.”
-Judith Clark, Director, Nevada State Council on the Arts
With over 4,000 performances spanning 30 years of full-time experience, McAvoy will tailor a show to embrace your special interests, whether they be golf, business, or anything in-between.

Testimonial Dr. Smith party of two:
“What a wonderful evening!!
McAvoy IS Mark Twain and he captures his spirit.
We spent two hours in Mark’s home learning of his life.
We felt we were there with Mark Twain reliving his exploits.
In addition, we shared our stories
and felt like we were in Samuel Clemens actual presence.
McAvoy is delightful and we could not recommend him higher!
What a font of knowledge and a joy to be with for an extended evening!
We will be back!!”
“McAvoy is a master at depicting Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain.
We enjoyed a lovely evening of Mark Twain renditions and great conversation with McAvoy.
Not only was it supremely interesting to listen to Mark Twain’s view of the world,
it was poignantly relevant since Mark Twain spent so much time in the Carson Valley/Tahoe area.
McAvoy is a must see during your visit. ”
