Description

Caricatures & Comedy by Levi...It's kinda like Stand-Up sitting down!

Caricaturist/Comedian David Levi has entertained crowds of all ages in Chicagoland and throughout the Midwest for over twenty years! Known as much for his non-stop slightly twisted sense of humor as for his ability to capture a flattering likeness in six-eight minutes, these cartoon portraits are guaranteed to keep the gathering crowds laughing! His many satisfied corporate clients include: McDonald's, the Chicago Bulls, Allstate Insurance, Sprint and Petco Animal Supplies to name a few.

Caricatures are also great for presentations and gifts. Whether it's a holiday or birthday present for one person or a presentation to a whole department, caricatures are a totally original gift idea!

In addition to caricatures, David also skillfully cuts Silhouettes and creates amazing Cartoons from a subject's name. Samples upon request.

STOP THE PRESSES!!!! THIS JUST IN!!!! Announcing the debut of "THE ONE MINUTE MANIAC"!!!!! It's a Game Show! It's a Caricature! It's a Game Show! Watch Levi work the audience into a frenzy as he draws a subject IN ONE MINUTE!!!! Ten, nine, eight....the crowd goes nuts as the pens and one-liners fly! You gotta see it to believe it!

  • Levi walked into my home and my guests were entertained from that moment on. He is prompt, personable and a pro at what he does. He comes totally prepared. He brings his own lighting and even his own beverage. His caricatures were "right on". People are still calling me to tell me how much they enjoyed him. I have already recommended him to the association where I live. I would use him again without hesitation and trust me, there will still be a line of people waiting to have their "pictures done!". -- Karen S, Mundelein, IL, 10/11/2009
  • This caraciturist was an wonderful addition to our birthday dinner celebration at a restaurant. I was very pleased with the set up through GigMaster.com and the company was extremely accomodating to a last-minute scheduling change. A very professional service, and the party guests all commented on how fun this made the party. Thanks so much, Caricatures & Comedy by Levi! -- Kit D, Frankfort, IL, 8/6/2009

  • David definitely added to the success of our party. Having a caricaturist adds another dimension to your party and the guests love taking home a keepsake. David is very talented and very personable. WE enjoyed his company as well as his talent. My guests are still talking about their caricature and how much fun it was. I would definitely hire David for my next event. -- Barbara B, Libertyville, IL, 5/9/2009
  • David was wonderful and everybody loved him and his work. He was so easy going with the kid's and adults. They all lined up waiting and didn't care if they had to wait. He was very professional and funny and we will be calling on him for our next event. I was asked all through the night about booking him and how great he was. David you Rock!!!

  • David is very funny and entertaining and he is an extremely talented caricaturist. He made everyone feel comfortable and special and we all got to leave our party with a special souvenir. Caricatures & Comedy By Levi was the perfect entertainment for our outing. Not only we each got great caricatures, but we also got to see David work and it's fascinating! He entertained the crowd and his subjects while he worked and he worked tirelessly for two hours, without even asking for a break. David showed up early and stayed later than the time we had booked. He was very accommodating and extremely nice. Thank you for a great time, David! -- Anca B, Evanston, IL, 7/25/2008
  • David Levi was personable, talented, enthusiastic, professional, very kid-friendly, and entertaining. I would highly (and have already) recommend him for ANY event. It breaks the ice at a party and everyone walks away with a personalized caricature souvenir to remember the event by - much to their delight! David was the highlight surprise for my Husband's 65th and grandson's 2nd shared birthday party this past Sunday. An absolute success!!! -- Eva E, Mundelein, IL, 6/28/2009
