On time, friendly and very engaging with the children. The kids and teachers loved him. Will book again next year for sure.
We had Drops Unlimited Entertainment out for end of school event. He was great, kids were running everywhere but when they saw him hey stopped and enjoyed the amazing juggling. and he engaged with them also. Will have him out again next year!
This act was a huge hit with our group. More people attended than we have had in years when they learned we had invited this entertainer. Eric did a very good job with a slightly obnoxious young child who was distracting to all, especially to a juggler. EVERYONE left with a smile on their face.
Response from Drops Unlimited Entertainment:
Thank you so much for having me out. All of the "volunteers" were great (even Matt!) and the energy from the audience was wonderful.
Total hit at our 3 year olds birthday party - the kids loved all the fun creations and there was nothing he couldn’t make! Fabulous experience and we would definitely book again.
Response from Drops Unlimited Entertainment:
Thank you so much for having me out. The kids were so excited--in the best way! I am worried about the amount of great white shark requests, though... :)
Eric was very professional and very talented. He was able to create anything he was asked. Turning a simple heart into something beautiful. My favorite was his Octopus! So creative! Highly recommend!!
I want to rebook him, my family and friends now want to book him excellent guy excellent service … couldn’t let him leave without adding a tip..
Thank you again!!
OK, let's be clear. Drops Unlimited is the best. They were flexible, open to ideas, worked with our schedule, offered suggestions, terrific with the guests. They are awesome. We had Erik twisting balloons and a face painter as well. They were terrific!
Eric was a class act. He was timely, polite, funny and a true professional
They provided great entertainment at our local county fair. They also provided face painting which was a big hit! Both he and his wife were great people to work with, would highly recommend!
Response from Drops Unlimited Entertainment:
Thank you so much; we had a blast and would definitely recommend the Carroll County Fair!
The comedy juggling show was a wonderful addition to our summer camp! The kids loved it! We would certainly book Drops Unlimited Entertainment again in the future. Thanks!
Erik provided a very entertaining show for our Upward basketball celebration event. He is very skilled in his juggling but what really impressed me was the way he engaged with the audience. His interaction with kids who helped him with the show was priceless. Great memories for these kids and super entertainment for all.
Response from Drops Unlimited Entertainment:
Thank you so much for having me out. The audience was great and everyone was so nice--a pleasure to work with.
He did a great job and the kids loved him!!
We hired Drops Unlimited for our small town fair, with Blipey (Erik) working as a busker for part of the time, and in the evening putting on a one-hour stage show. So we saw him interacting face-to-face with small groups, and then on a big scale, and it turns out he's great at both. He has a dramatic flair that makes it to so fun to watch. And I'd say "interactive" is at the head of the list of things that made his performances special, not to mention his contagious sense of humor, joy, and fun.
We also had two flow artists, Radiant Elf and Mowgli, but for only a couple of hours. We scheduled them during the day, but they were so kind as to split their "shift" and stay several hours longer than planned in order to perform with fire after dark. We ended up pairing them with a country rock band, and it was quite the deal!
A friend of mine made a video that sampled some of the things at the fair. You can see the stiltwalker (Radiant Elf) and friend at about 1:08. (Erick had an injury and got her as a substitute), and a DELIGHTFUL clip of Blipey/Erick with a little girl at 1:48. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sl8XKCbO0Z-XFKwDJGtOKhgEwgC_rF3V/view?fbclid=IwAR3koUY4fIRJo9Qh_v98ojjgO-FfwClhNFtWbZpVFs4bRFJiUMfes27yF8A
From the viewpoint of an organizer, I have to say that Erik is really a professional, reliable, straightforward, and a pleasure to work with.
We were extremely pleased with Eric and Drops unlimited! His performance far outweighed our expectations and everyone was entertained as well as impressed!! Our camp serves mentallyband physically handicapped children and adults so Eric captured the hearts of over 50 campers and teenage through adult counselors as well! He included many of our campers and counselors and actually got campers with autism to participate in various activities. We are over the moon with his outstanding show of kindness and entertainment!

Drops Unlimited offers three general types of service.
1. Stage Shows.
These are theatrical presentations with story lines, characters, sets, props, and possibly light and sound Qs. These can be big ordeals involving fire juggling and breathing, juggling of giant bean bag chairs, climbing two story ladders with clowns, etc. Or they can be smaller affairs involving clowns with ropes and scarves, a single actor with a duffel bag, etc.
A stage show can be themed around (or even written specifically for) a client's needs. Whether you're looking for entertainment at your fundraiser and have a theater that seats 1,000, or you're looking for an educational library show for 100 people, a stage show can fit the bill.
2. Roaming Entertainers
This sort of thing is perfect for school carnivals, company picnics, crowd control, etc. Individual performers can mingle with the crowd and entertain them wherever they happen to be. Jugglers and stilt walkers can provide entertainment over a large area. Face painters and balloon artists can entertain people at restaurants or in long lines at events or ticket booths. As always, these performers concentrate on involving the audience in anything they do.
3. Classes & Workshops
Learn to juggle, clown, act, or walk stilts. These activities are great for exposing students to the performing arts. They can also be used as team building activities. Classes can focus on general skill acquisition or on specific goals such as a class performance, the importance of cooperation and listening, or the math and science of juggling.
While in school studying to be an aerospace engineer, Erik made the very wise decision to become an entertainer instead. Yeah, private university dollars!!!
So, for the last 20 years, he has been juggling and clowning his way through life. Coming from a theater background (yes, he enrolled in theater school after the engineering thing), Erik's first love has always been the the stage show. Erik's first solo work was as a juggler at various Renaissance Festivals in the Middle America (Kansas City, Oklahoma, San Antonio, etc). It was in front of those crowds that he fell in love with the idea of including audience members in the act as often as possible.
That is the core principle that guides every Drops Unlimited show to this day. An engaged and participating audience not only talks about and lives the show after it is over, but those people do the single most amazing thing humans can do. They amaze themselves. They come out of their shells and learn something about themselves and the people around them. An audience who learns something while they're laughing is certainly a force for good.
Erik brings his dual passions for performing and educating together in Drops Unlimited Entertainment. He has taught juggling and clowning workshops across the country, for school children as well as adults. He's taught theater classes to teenagers, and brought smiles to hundreds of thousands across the country. He's performed his own educational circus shows from Alaska to Florida and toured nationally with several educational theater groups (Poetry Alive!, Seem-to-be-Players, Bureau of Lectures & Concert Artists).
Erik is looking forward to another 20 years of providing laughs and thoughts to audience big and small.
