The reason my work stands out from others who do what I do stems from my core belief that true entertainment should be all about the audience and NOT about me. In other
words, the audience should be the star NOT the entertainer. My shows are therefore based on a carefully laid out plan that includes:
· Audience Participation
· Stage Presence
· Character Development
· A Comprehensive Understanding of Humor
· The Psychology of What Makes People Laugh
· Mental Preparation
· Confidence
· Experience
· Showmanship
When properly applied, these skills and principles along with my "secret ingredient" ultimately generate a powder keg that is primed and ready for explosive laughter, spontaneous fun and sheer amazement.
Contained within this powder keg is a highly INTERACTIVE environment which transforms my audience from into active participants who contribute to the overall entertainment value of the show .This unique environment demands that I never perform DOWN to my audience requiring them to watch some sort of ego-maniac artist take the stage and make the show all about him. There is something inherently wrong on so many levels when any artist performs only what they want with the attitude of "Hey, look at me!" "Look at what I can do but you can't!"
Over the years I have discovered that interaction creates unique and hilarious improvisational opportunities that are truly entertaining and extremely memorable. Often times, I have seen children (whom the parents say are shy) jump at every opportunity to join me on stage to perform either a magic trick or a gag. The shyness quickly melts away leading to incredible ad-lib moments that are not only an entertainer's dream come true but are also wonderfully entertaining!
Someone recently asked me, " What is the most valuable lesson you have learned as an entertainer?" I simply replied by saying, " Without the audience, an entertainer is nothing."
