Photo of Ventriloquist DC Mickan Ventriloquist DC Mickan "Shiver Me Timbers! Doug Mickan brought the laughs! 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!" 9th April 2026 Emilia Fullerton - Eastport Maine Pirate Festival Photo of Ventriloquist DC Mickan Ventriloquist DC Mickan "Unforgettable, hilarious and engaging Doug was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, he kept the audience laughing and engaged with his sharp wit and incredible ventriloquism skills. What made his performance truly stand out was his mastery of improv—he seamlessly wove in topics from the night, making the show feel fresh, personalized, and one-of-a-kind. Engaging & Fun: Doug connected with the crowd effortlessly, keeping everyone entertained and involved. Improv Genius: His ability to adapt and incorporate real-time moments into the act was brilliant. Audience Feedback: Every single guest raved about him afterward, with glowing reviews across the board. Top-Tier Entertainment: Without question, Doug is the best entertainer I have ever booked. If you’re looking for a performer who can deliver laughter, energy, and a truly memorable experience, Doug is the one to book. He turned our event into something extraordinary, and we couldn’t be happier with the choice." 9th April 2026 Desi Serini - First State Community Bank Photo of Ventriloquist DC Mickan 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%" 9th April 2026 Jon Brown - Grace Church Ministries, Chester, IL Photo of Ventriloquist DC Mickan Ventriloquist DC Mickan "Fantastic show, fantastic to work with! DC Mickan stood out from the other performers with the effort he put into his presentation and how easy he was to work with. He customized the show to our company, providing a highly entertaining experience for a large age demographic. He was engaging with the audience and made our company Christmas party an event to remember. If you are looking for talent to tickle the funny bone of everyone at your party or event, we highly recommend him!" 9th April 2026 Connie - Behrmann Meat & Processing, Albers, IL Photo of Kevin Driscoll & Friends 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." The lion - Hulu TV show Photo of Magician, Steve Hart Magician, Steve Hart "Steve was amazing!! He was on time, he kept the kids laughing, and amused the adults as well… I would hire him again!! Great job!" Marcella B. - Birthday Mom
