Lovely things Claire made them say!
| Like a James Bond martini, Claire Hennessy's humor is dry (yet witty and will leave your sides) shaken, not stirred, and it is always served with a twist (which will leave you grinning and wanting more). Alton Chung Storyteller, Workshops, Editor-in-Chief of Story Beast |  |
 | Claire Hennessy is an animated and highly original storyteller whose delightful British accent greatly enhances her performances.

| I think Claire is FUNNY and I don't care what anyone else says! Bil Lepp Storyteller, Humorist, Keynote Speaker, TV Host |  |
 | Claire is one of the most charming, funniest, and most talented storytellers I’ve ever met. She captivates audiences with both her personal stories and her beautifully braided tales that weave together folklore and life experience. She is also an outstanding producer and festival coordinator, and a true pleasure to work with. Karin Amano Japanese Storyteller, Comedic Actor |
| Claire is the complete package as far as I am concerned. She's funny. She's insightful. She captures and expresses her emotions eloquently. She is unafraid to get a little wild. And she can organize and host events that delight and engage audiences all over. Corey Rosen Storyteller, Host, Author, Actor, Coach |  |
 | Be it known to all that Claire Hennessy is a bonkers Brit – just look at the colors of the Union Jack sneaking onto her website. Claire is a comedian (...storytelling funny talker) who occasionally tells us what we already know, except we didn't really know it – or rather, we knew it, but we weren't paying attention. She does some careful and hilarious observing for us and points out the obvious. If you're a man who needs a greater understanding of what it's like to be a divorced/re-married/in-love/pregnant/mothering woman, she is handy to have around. I, for one, am very glad she's around. Andy Offutt Irwin Storyteller, Musician, Songwriter, Actor |
| I'm particular in my tastes for comedy. I love best when comedy is grounded in an honest heart. Claire Hennessy has the gift of true funny. Her joy is absolutely real. With a sharp wit, Claire's stories sneak wisdom in with a spoon full of sugar. Only it isn't medicine she delivers - Claire delivers hope. The bonkers bit is the good kind of bonkers - like hitting the winning ball into the side pocket. Megan Wells Professional Storyteller, Coach, Teacher, Friend |  |
 | "I can sum up a Claire Hennessy experience – the woman, the storyteller, organizer, producer - in three letters: J-O-Y. Be it a one-on-one interaction or live performance, in person or virtual, each experience is a joyful celebration of the oral art of storytelling. We find ourselves nodding our heads, chuckling, guffawing and emitting audible murmurs of affirmation to her delightful descriptions of life’s contrasts, complexities and absurdities. Her stories, mostly drawn from personal experience and seasoned with a sprinkling of ‘Brit Wit’, are immediately relatable. As the founder of Six Feet Apart Productions, Claire spread the joy during the pandemic by spotlighting storytelling, giving the virtual stage to storytellers from around the globe, and making those programs easily accessible to the public. The series is still going strong. But, wait-wait! There’s more! Wanna find out? Looking to infuse some J-O-Y in your program? Just call Claire!" Charlotte Blake Alston Master storyteller, Narrator and Librettist |
| She is an incredibly good storyteller. As someone who has not only seen Claire perform, but also worked with her side-by-side, I know Claire takes pride in her work, and cares about her audience. She leads you through her own life's adventures and these adventures are worth hearing about. Shameless, strong, and empathic in her storytelling, she takes on topics which are hard, and finds a way to make the stories fun. These true tales (she tells us) are at times incredibly healing and often thought-provoking. When you see her perform, you are seeing a genuine person sharing genuine stories. Claire's the real deal. Simon Brooks Story Weaver and Myth Teller, Author, Humorist |  |
