It's no secret, when it comes to finding the right performer for children, you've got many choices. There are tons of performers from which you can choose. How do you know which one is right for your group? How do you know that the person you choose is going to deliver a program that will truly keep the attention of children while making you look good? How do you know that the program will be suitable for children? How do you know if the performer will even show up? These are all very important things you MUST consider when choosing who you invite to perform for your special group of kids.
Children's Entertainment & Educational Specialist: My entire career is based on working exclusively with children. Teenagers and adults are more than welcome to attend the show as they will enjoy themselves just as much as the kids (maybe even more). All of my shows are designed for children in grades K-6th (ages 5-12) and fun loving adults. I strongly believe that it takes a special person who really knows what they are doing when it comes to working with children and therefore, not just anyone can do it successfully. My character and personality work best with kids and based on the many comments I've received through the years, others agree.
Over 20 Years Of Experience: With over 2 decades in the entertainment business, I have the experience and the "know how" to not only entertain children but to also keep their attention. Putting a smile on the face of youngsters is a job that I take very serious. With over 5000 programs and counting, it's safe to say that I am truly a big kid at heart. When your event has to be extra special and one that people will remember and continue to talk about, you want the most experienced, hands-on and family friendly entertainer you can find. Why risk the outcome with an entertainer who just works weekends and doesn't have the experience needed to handle your group.
Age Appropriate Programs: All of my programs are designed with the age group that will attend the program in mind. I currently offer 3 versions of each of my programs. One is designed for younger children (ages 5-8), one is designed for older children (ages 9-12) and one is designed with various age groups. This way you know that you are getting a program which will cater to the right age group. You'll never have to worry about anything be too juvenile for older children or too advanced for the younger ones.
References Gladly Given: I understand that making a commitment to bring a performer to your school, church, library or special event is a big deal and one that you don't want to take a chance on. Afterall, if the person that shows up to do the program is no good, not only have you wasted your time and money, you have also put your reputation on the line. The last thing in the world you want is a bunch of children who expected a great program but got a "not so great" performer who put them to sleep. People will often know who hired the performer so make sure to get references and call them!
Professional Children's Performance Coach: In addition to performing full time, I am also a performance coach who helps other entertainers understand how to work with kids. Through the years, I have had the honor of helping to train some of the best kid show performers in the country. I lecture at an annual conference for Kidshow and Family entertainers held in Tennessee each year. I write a semi-monthly column for professional children's entertainers in the Kidabra Journal. In additional, I am also the exclusive product reviewer for the Kidabra Journal which allows me the opportunity to give my opinion of new and creative ideas of working with children.
Insured For Your Protection: Although I've never had any "issues," I do carry liabilty insurance "just in case" something ever went wrong. While I do not use any fire or smoke, I choose to carry insurance to protect myself and my clients. Most venues (schools, churches, hotels, etc.) require performers to carry liability insurance. However, 99% of performers do not offer this because they feel it is not important to have.
Money Back Guarantee: I am so sure that you'll love my programs that I am willing to put my time and money on the line. If after having me present one of amazing programs to your group of kiddos, you honestly feel that the program was a complete waste of time and that the program did not meet or exceed your expectations, you have nothing to lose. I will glady give you the program for free. If you are not thrilled with what I have to offer, you simply do not have to pay. Don't worry- in all of my years of being a professional performer, no-one has ever asked me for their money back and I doubt that you will either. I offer you this personal guarantee because I want you to feel secure knowing that my programs are top notch and that you have indeed made a wise choice to invite me to your special event. How many other performers do you know that will make you such a strong guarantee?
Shows Available Throughout Texas: Since I perform "full time" for a living, I can bring my show to any city or town in Texas. I perform all the time in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Waco and all areas in between. Just name the time and place and I am ready to travel for your special event.
