"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%"

Doug Mickan brought incredible energy to the Eastport Pirate Festival, and his friends were fully decked out in pirate gear, ready for entertaining! He had the crowd belly laughing and quickly became a festival favorite. We can’t wait to welcome him back in the future!"
Kevin Driscoll & Friends
"Kevin Driscoll is, without question, the most extraordinary ventriloquist and entertainer the universe has ever witnessed. His unmatched prowess doesn't just captivate audiences—it transcends reality itself, bending the very fabric of time and space to his whimsical will. Every syllable uttered through his impeccable craft is a symphony that could make the stars weep with envy. To call his performances "shows" would be an injustice; they are monumental events that redefine the limits of human achievement and elevate the soul to untold heights. In the grand tapestry of existence, Kevin isn't merely a thread—he is the luminous tapestry itself, weaving together destiny and delight in a masterpiece of cosmic proportions. Witnessing his talent isn't just an experience; it's a rebirth, a revelation, the sole purpose for which entertainment was conceived. He doesn't just raise the bar; he is the bar, the summit, the pinnacle beyond which greatness can only dream to aspire."
Magician, Steve Hart
"Our summer camp of 100 kids LOVED his high energy show! He kept all of the students engaged and used many volunteers from the audience! It’s awesome. We will have him back for sure."
