A Birthday Recommendation

"Usually, I don't hire entertainment for Birthday parties but I am so glad that I did this year.   Mr. G was a huge hit!  He did a fantastic performance that had everyone laughing and involved.  

As the kids arrived, he led them in a great game of Simon Says and then rolled right into the show.

He included the kids & the adults.  Most importantly, he made the Birthday Girl a very active participant.  She really enjoyed herself. They had a balloon blowing contest.  Obviously,  Mr. G's won with the help of his air pump.

For me, hosting a party that has adults as well as kids of all ages is difficult.  Finding activities that keep everyone engaged is almost impossible.  Mr. G was the answer.  He did a wonderful job bridging the age gap.

After the show,  Sophie opened her presents while Mr. G made the kids balloon figures.  Most of them picked swords or wands which they later took outside and used to battle each other.  I guess that is one way to run off all that cake!"

"KIDS" show? Yes....well, maybe

"Mr. G Kidshow is the greatest. I want him when I turn 65. What a great party!"

Sophie's great-aunt posted this on my FB Page after the show for her 10-year-old niece and about 20 of her 4th-grade school friends. Honestly, some performers don't even like to perform for 10-year-olds - they tend to be on the old side, but I like a challenge. It was a great party. We started with a little impromptu "Simon Says" before the show while guests were still arriving and transitioned nicely into my opener. Sophie was quite a great performer as she cam up to be the star, and everybody had a great time. EVERYBODY.

The best comment came after the show when Great-Aunt Francie told me that I should do a show for adults. I told her that I already do and that she just saw it. I appreciate this remark so much because I work hard to craft my show into a "family" event. I make sure that from the beginning the adults in the room know that I am entertaining for them too...and that they should participate accordingly.

I've been thinking recently about marketing to senior centers. It might really be nice to perform for some folks who remember the the acts who inspired me: WC Fields, Jerry Lewis, Keaton, The 3 Stooges, The Marx Brothers, Chaplin.

I will be thrilled to do Francie's 65th birthday party! Good entertainment appeals to kids of all shoe sizes!
