Houla Entertainment APCA National Spotlight Artist ~ Comedian Landry

Houla Entertainment APCA National Showcasing Spotlight Artist ~ Landry

Landry is best recognized for his likeable hair, sprouting from charismatic follicles. He is a Canadian born interracial love child whose hybrid existence, when mixed with a little dysfunction, makes for a fantastic recipe of comedy goulash. He is the winner of both the Boston Comedy Festival and the World Series of Comedy but none of that matters so long as his mom thinks he's funny.  With a smile that lights up a room and a personality to match, there is no telling what great things this young performer will achieve.

Landry is showcasing Thursday, March 9 at 9:00 pm and is the Emcee Friday, March 10 at the Dinner showcase.

Houla Entertainment NACA National Showcasing Artist Spotlight ~ Brian Getz

Houla Entertainment NACA National Showcasing Artist Spotlight is Brian Getz.

World-record breaking balloon artist Brian Getz began twisting balloons 14 years ago when his sister got him a simple kit for Christmas. This fun hobby quickly became an exciting career working with universities, corporations and churches. Based in Indianapolis, Brian has entertained in 14 different countries and 35 states. He has worked with schools in Uganda, entertained on cruise ships, taught balloon art in Bosnia, and been awarded at three international balloon conferences. Leaving behind simple dogs and swords, Brian’s enthusiasm and wit help him entertain children and adults alike, while improvisation and experience allow him to create any animal, person or sculpture out of balloons. In 2015, Brian broke the Guinness world record for the largest modelling balloon sculpture by a team, creating an 88-foot dragonfly. He looks forward to visiting your campus, working with student volunteers to make a giant sculpture of your mascot, then entertaining with balloons.

Brian is showcasing at NACA Nationals and will be making balloons in the Houla booths as well.

Houla Entertainment NACA Nationals Showcasing Artist Spotlight ~ Eh440

Houla Entertainment NACA Nationals Showcasing Artist Spotlight is Eh440. 

Eh440, the incredible Toronto-based vocal group has been stunning audiences worldwide since they first hit the stage a few years ago. With just a beatboxer, bass vocalist, and 3 very differ­ent lead singers, this means that they are technically an 'a cappella' group but most people think of them as something very different. 

"You forget that there aren't any instruments because they really do sound like a full band!" said one fan.

"They sound hip and current. It's like they magically fuse old and new Into a must-hear sound. And I love that they write their own songs because it makes me feel so connected to them as people.

Eh440 was named the #1 Campus Touring Artist in America by Campus Activities Magazine! They received an unprecedented perfect score from Campuses across the US. 

Eh440 have released 2 albums along with two Christrnas singles. They have also toured from coast-to-coast in Canada, the US, and Europe, with more to come. 

Eh440 will be showcasing at NACA Nationals and NACA Northern Plains this Spring.
