Big Joe the Storyteller

I have stories for all ages and occasions. Whatever type of event you are planning I will have stories for it. I can do both education and entertainment venues, and will have a storytelling show that will entertain everyone. The stories I tell are a mix of original, classic, and multicultural tales. During my show I use puppets and props, and there is lots of audience participation. There are less puppets and props involved when I do shows for older kids (elementary grades), young adults and adults, and the show skews more towards traditional oral storytelling. Whatever you are planning, if there are kids (and or adults) looking to be entertained, I have the storytelling show for you!

When I was one my parents thought I would never talk. When I was two they thought I would never shut up! I have been telling stories since I could put words together, and I am still doing it now. Got a degree in teaching and taught preschool for 9 years. Told stories to my kids (classics, and a lot I made up on my own) and really enjoyed doing it. Started to tell stories at parties and other events on the side. My bookings increased, and I decided work part time as a teacher in an after school program and part time as a storyteller. In a few years my storytelling business grew and I was able to become a full time storyteller. From 1999 till today I have been telling stories as Big Joe the Storyteller and I have loved every minute of it! I have stories for all ages and all occasions and will work hard to spread the wonder and magic of storytelling!!
