"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!
