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%"
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!!!!"
Adam Brown, The Gentle Giant

Mooncalf Magic
"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.

"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!
