Cannot say enough great things about Logan! Hiring him was the best decision I made for my birthday party!!! He left my group of 10 friends absolutely speechless. Aside from his mind-blowing performance, Logan was really funny and friendly! I highly recommend him for your event!

Totally blew us away, I would say we had some pretty difficult guests in the audience and Logan managed to win them over quite quickly and easily, would totally book him again.

Jessica was great to work with, a true creative, she was able to tailor her performance to my event, and add a new 1875 era character and costume. She was very helpful and responsive before the event. At the party she added a fun source of entertainment walking through our cocktail party, entertaining guests in small groups or on their own with her theatrical touch and vintage typewriter. If you are looking for something a little different to entertain your guests in a cocktail setting or vintage atmosphere, I would highly recommend The Oracle! She would be fun at a Gilded Age or Bridgerton themed party.
