Overview

I put on a great show that everyone at your event will enjoy. I perform a show filled with juggling, circus skills, audience participation and lots of fun. I have lots of experience performing for children of all ages, all over the world. I can perform as a clown or as a circus artist, I'm also a great stilt walker and have lots of other talents to boot. Feel free to check out my website and let's talk soon about how to make yours a great event.

Very engaging. Kids loved him!

Andrew was very professional. He arrived an hour before the performance and was ready to go when the kids walked in. Camp scenarios are a little less structured. So, the kids are a little more energetic than usual. Andrew maintained control and provided engaging entertainment.

Professional Entertainment at its Best!

Andrew was the complete package. He was thoughtful and considerate in his approach. More importantly he put on a heck of show. The children were enthralled, laughing or shocked throughout. The parents were equally impressed. Would not have changed a thing.
