What People Are Saying About Torry Martin

“Torry Martin’s style of home-spun humorous ‘parables’ are sure to entertain and touch the hearts of church- people everywhere. As a person and performer he exudes a natural charm and humility that’s refreshing in this day of ’super slick professionals.’ His whole demeanor is so unaffected and natural-I can understand why he is in demand. Take Garrison Keillor and put a spiritual perspective to him and you have Torry Martin.”

-Paul McCusker- Author of a variety of Christian plays and novels. Paul has also worked as a writer, director and producer for the “Adventures in Odyssey” radio series.

“Torry’s unique style of comedy is clearly evident in his popular “Torry Stories.” I’ve had the privilege of hearing several of his stories having to do with his experiences living in a cabin in Alaska, and I’m still laughing! I highly recommend Torry Martin for both his talent and his Christian witness.”

-Martha Bolton, an Emmy nominated staff writer for Bob Hope, author of fourty-three books and hundreds of sketches, and the writer of the Cafeteria Lady column for Brio magazine.

“Torry’s brand of story-telling humor ran from the amusing to the downright hysterical. Perhaps the most striking thing about Torry’s routine is the way he uses each of his stories to highlight a biblical principal. These lessons are not detached and distant, but connect with the hearers in a believable, relevant way.”

- Peter J. Isenberg, Associate Minister, New Hope Christian Church, Roanoke, VA

“Torry Martin has delighted Lillenas Drama conference audiences for the past several years with his zany personality, hilarious stories, and his warm heart. His creative way of looking at life draws people in and quenches their thirst for laughter. As you consider booking Torry for your next event, get ready for laughs and learning about God through Torry’s charming tales and amiable persona.”

-Kimberly R. Messer, Lillenas Drama

“Torry is a master at capturing the attention of his audience, keeping them both in stitches and suspense, and then driving home an important spiritual truth which one will not soon forget. From children’s ministries to adults, I believe Torry will be a blessing to your people.”

-Sonny Evans, Church Administrator, West Park Baptist Church, Knoxville, TN

“As the chaplain and chapel coordinator of our Christian International boarding and day school, I knew how difficult it was in finding a Christian comedian who would appeal to students and faculty alike. (You know, like almost impossible!) But the Lord has been gracious to let us find Torry Martin. If your group needs a dose of humorous medicine, call this doctor of humor today and schedule him for a “house call”. I am absolutely confident you will be glad you did!”

-John Stair, The King’s Academy, Seymour, TN

“We were pleased to host award-winning Christian comedian and writer, Torry Martin for two of our events. His night of comedy was completely sold-out, and he was well received. I, and the board of WSCWA, would not hesitate to have Torry Martin speak or perform for our city again. He is not only generous and personable, but his humor touches people of all ages in incredible ways. It was a pleasure to experience him.”

-Steve Henderson, President, Western Slope Christian Writers Association, Grand Junction, CO

“As an actor and stand-up comedian Torry is a delight. His ingratiating personality and poise make him a winner with any audience. His humor has a spontaneity that causes epidemics of laughter and good cheer. At the same time his appeal extends to audiences of all kinds.”

-Paul Miller, Lillenas Drama

“I can honestly say that Torry has a wonderful gift when it comes to hitting your “funny bone.” Not only does he have a fantastic sense of comedic timing but he backs it up with a heartfelt message that conveys the love of Christ.”

-Rodney Scott, Host of “Discovery Jones”, The Inspirational Network

“Torry Martin emerged as the Grand Prize Winner in Drama Performance, First Place Winner in Drama Monologue, and First, Second, Third Place and Grand Prize Winner in Sketchwriting. At the Friday Night winner’s concert, Torry was introduced by Point of Grace and performed his winning material for a packed house. As he made his exit, the crowd was immediately on their feet clapping and cheering. The Christian Drama industry needs more people like Torry Martin. In the midst of all the laughter, you will see the sincerity of Torry’s heart…you will see his spiritual act of worship.”

-Pat Freeman, Drama Conference Coordinator, Christian Artists Corporation
