"This isn’t the most sophisticated show on the Fringe and, strictly speaking, it is really a show for kids. But it is, without question the most enjoyable and almost impossible not to love unless misanthrope is your middle name. It starts behind a massive paper backdrop, as four clowns loom in silhouette. Soon they appear on stage and engage in a bit of conventional banter and knockabout comedy, with one of them - long hair, doleful face - clearly the stooge for the other’s mischief. At one stage, one of the clowns tries to read a map, borrows a pair of glasses from a member of the audience, gives them back to the wrong person, and, in turn, gives their glasses to someone else and suddenly a good 16 people are trying to retrieve their glasses from complete strangers. Our mischievous hosts meanwhile have moved on with the show. You can scoff all you like at fancy notions of breaking down boundaries between audience and performers, but when it works, there’s truly nothing better, and there is no greater proof for that than Mimirichi. By the time the clowns have ripped the set into vast armfuls of shredded paper and advanced towards the audience, it is clear what is to come and the audience is ready for what must be the biggest paper fight ever to have graced an auditorium. Later they will cower behind a paper goalpost as one clown arranges an impromptu penalty shoot-out complete with massive paper football and a goalie plucked from the front row. At heart, Mimirichi celebrate the human capacity for playing - the clowns engage in several slapstick vignettes that celebrate the transformative powers of paper (they use it to create horses, monsters, an Arabian belly dancer). One of them, meanwhile, develops a despotic appetite, and, dressed as a king, clambers through the audience throwing articles of clothing into his belly. Beneath the fun and games there is something profound - and profoundly moving - going on, crystalised in the tremendous finale. Quite simply, the show’s big heart puts you in touch not just with your own humanity, but with that of your fellow man."

"Adam provided a great hour of entertainment for my daughter's 6th birthday party. He started entertaining the children with some plate spinning to focus their attentions, even before the formally agreed 1 hour of entertainment that had been agreed, which the kids really enjoyed. After that, he got to work. It was funny and an engaging show and would recommend Adam for similar events."

"Chris was easily one of the worst magicians I have ever seen in my life. A true train wreck to behold, its like a car crash you cant look away from. "

"Dynamic, Reliable, and Crowd-Ready Performer Mooncalf Magic brought high energy and strong crowd engagement to the Seafarer’s Beergarden at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Danny consistently connected with guests through humor, presence, and interactive charm. His flexibility in performance style made him a great fit for the unique rhythm of our themed festival environment. Behind the scenes, Danny was dependable, professional, and easy to work with. His time with us added great value to the Beergarden’s entertainment lineup, and I’m happy to recommend him for future bookings seeking an experienced, engaging performer. — Brandi Ogier Entertainment Director, KCRF"

"We hired Mooncalf without knowing for sure what to expect. The front page image is what made us assume he'd be pretty good. He was better than pretty good! "

"Pete "Vanilla Swirl" absolutely exceeded my expectations for our son's 4th birthday party. He was prompt, well prepared, hysterical and kept the kiddos entertained for over an hour! The time, care and preparation put into his show is evident; as is his expertise and ability to cater to kids of all ages. I can't recommend Pete enough! Thank you for a lovely memory:)"
