Brenden Trojan
"Brenden brought excitement to the office, which can enhance productivity, improve morale, and foster better teamwork. I heard laughter and sounds of surprise and delight in our lunchroom that I have never heard before. He was on-time, professional, and extremely talented! I would love to have him back again."

Santa John is the real deal. Looks very authentic and makes great photo opp. Takes his sweet time when children want to talk to him."
The Circus Arts Society
"Jesse and his Circus-In-A-Suitcase workshop were an absolute highlight of our Downtown Cambridge BIA event! Jesse's communication was seamless, making planning a breeze. He captivated the children with his engaging and interactive performance, leaving them smiling and excited. Beyond that, he has an incredible ability to energize the entire crowd, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Jesse's talent and professionalism made him a wonderful addition to our event, and we can't wait to work with him again!

La Rosa Oscura Flamenco
"Jennifer was absolutely the LIFE of our party! She is super easy to communicate with, very accommodating, more than punctual and even flexible when our internal event scheduling fell behind. She had our event guests clapping, dancing, and of course cheering between every song. We hope we can feature La Rosa Oscura again in the future and look forward to visiting her at shows around the city. Thank you, Jennifer!!!!"

Ventriloquist DC Mickan
"Doug Mickan is AMAZING!
Doug had visited our Church in June, after performing at 2 local libraries earlier that day. He provided such quality Christian entertainment that evening that we booked him for our BIG outreach event of the year...FAMILY FUN DAY. Doug not only ministered that morning to our entire Church through worship and his gift of ventriloquism, but then stayed to be the main attraction at Family Fun Day that afternoon. We would highly recommend Doug Mickan to any organization or ministry. 100%"
