Best Bob Hope Impersonator Out There!
We were so delighted and impressed with Bill--he was not only a joy work with, professional and courteous, but he is also the best out there!! He was simply amazing and we keep getting compliments about his performance at our Ball. We'll definitely be bringing him back next year!
Response from Bob Hope Impersonator - Bill Johnson:
Thanks a million for your kind words Khyentse! It was a thrill and an honor for me to be part of your magical evening. Plus, it is always a joy to perform in tribute to Veterans. I have to say, with an audience of over 2500, it was just like entertaining the "troops!"
As "Bob" would say, "thanks for the memory!"
Best regards, Bill
