Mark Twain Impressionist McAvoy Layne

For twenty four years now, in over two thousand performances from Leningrad University in Russia to Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City, McAvoy Layne has been preeminent, in preserving the wit & wisdom of “The Wild Humorist of the Pacific Slope,” Mark Twain.

Says McAvoy Layne, “It’s like being a Monday through Friday preacher, whose sermon, though not reverently pious, is fervently American.”

McAvoy Layne is the ghost of Samuel Clemens in A&E’s biography of Mark Twain, and in the Discovery Channel’s Cronkite Award winning documentary, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He is a winner of the Nevada award for excellence in school and library service, and author of a soon to be published memoir, Becoming Mark Twain.
