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%"

"It is important to me as an event planner, that the last activity of the event leaves my delegates laughing and remembering how much fun they had at convention so that they return for the next one. You certainly achieved that objective.
Thank you so much for being a performer I could trust to be exactly what he purported to be. I would highly recommend the magic of Mark Crocker and his puppet family to anyone who was seeking hilarity, audience interaction and performer integrity."

Chris P Tee Comedy Magic Show
"Chris was absolutely Fab! Parents were amazed that our group of 15 kids (10 years old) could stay 2h under Chris charm and magic. The ventriloquist part was so funny. Overall I can only recommend Chris to anyone looking for a great time."
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!"

"Mark GREAT JOB in entertaining my client at Grandview Lodge this past week. They loved your personalization, and how you were able to keep the name of the company up front and part of the show. You are a true professional and really do your homework when it comes to the corporate settings and the client at hand."
