FAQs 5
- How many years have you been in business?
- I've been an event professional for over 20 years, serving corporate and private clients all over the US.
- Can you cutomize the performance for specific theme or message?
- Absolutely! There are a number of routines I present where I can incorporate a meeting message, a brand, or a celebrant's name. Depending on your event goals and your audience, I can also custom tailor a performance to incorporate sales messaging for meetings and trade shows.
- Where are you based?
- I make my home in New York City, but I travel frequently for events. I've done everything from a wedding event in St Barts to an executive retreat in Portugal.
- How long do you typically perform for?
- My stage show can be up to an hour, though I can shorten it for a dinner performance or break it up into pieces if you want it presented throughout a meeting. For close-up/strolling work, it depends on the size of your group and what else might be happening at your event.
- Can you make my husband disappear?
- No, sorry.
