I want to do material that is above the usual kid fare. Not to preach, but to entertain, whether it be at a bachelor party or a club.

At one time i did family & kid shows Now I do 80% senior shows. I found out the seniors like the old fashion ventriloquism. Since I am a senior myself I can relate to them.

I do mostly kid shows. Private and corporate parties, school shows, etc.I got very interested in the kid show market after purchasing some of Mark Wade`s training Tapes and books.

I LOVE being on stage at the comedy club. It was hard when I first moved to a country where they did not have that. It was great to get back into it recently with the opening of a new comedy club.

I was a full-time entertainer for eight years, but wanted to do something more meaningful. When our church had a speaker on Creation I knew imediately that that was what I was to do. Now we give our 1-hr Creation vs Evolution program at Christian Schools, churches, camps, etc. It is more difficult than entertainment, but far more rewarding.

I started out doing vent and magic to reach shy children in my Mall appearances. Now I do senior citizen, hospital, church and shelter shows.
I'm being considered to headline the state newspaper convention entertainment next summer.

I've been using ventriloquism and magic as a way of reachng children.
Not just the ones I meet in my mall appearances, but also in my visits to hospitals, schools, shelters and church groups. I've also done a lot of senior citizen appearances and am being considered to highlight the state's newspaper convention next summer.

I am incorrporating vent into my appearances as a real-bearded Santa Claus. So, my venues include kid shows for schools and libraries; large private and corporate Christmas and Holiday parties, and speical performances as part of mall appearances during the Christmas Season.

For years I specialized in kids shows but recently I have changed slightly and am focusing on Family shows. I am getting into the fair, carnival and family stage show area.
I have other things like gospel shows but Families are my specialty.

Corporate programs and related awards banquets and slaes banquets have always been the biggest percentage of my work. However, the renovation of many local theatres across the country has opened a new venue for many vents, including myself.

I tried comedy clubs and even took first place at a couple but really didn't feel comfortable in that venue. Then one day I went to see Mark Wade at a local church and Mark had been in an accident and couldn't make it so I performed for the church that day. This was my calling and I thank God that the opportunity presented itself. Tell us your story!
