Amazing show, customized to our audience!

Daniel Jay traveled 2.5 hours to Southfield, MI for our Hannukah party. He kept the audience ( of all ages) laughing, engaged, and having a blast! He was culturally sensitive to our needs and customized the show to our crowd. He even sang a famous Hannukah song and created a little jingle celebrating the volunteers in our group. Kids and adults alike were treated to a really entertaining show. I'd definitely recommend him. Thank you, Daniel!

Well Received and Great to work with!

Daniel is a rare, quality ventriloquest and illusionist. The kids loved him, and so did the adults. He was willing to adjust to our schedule and interracted well individually and before the crowd. We highly recommend him.

Very Enjoyable Surprise for Father's Day

Daniel performed as a surprise for my dad for Father's Day privately with four of us with my mom & dad at their home. He was very entertaining with both his ventriloquism, his humor, and his magic tricks. It was a great day providing some up close memories for all of us that one rarely gets to experience. Daniel kept great communication, was punctual, set up quickly, and was very gracious with, and understanding of, my parents and their age(88yrs old). The ease with which he performed his talents while developing a genuine friendly rapport with them made it all the more enjoyable for them. His combination of characters and magic along with his added humor made the whole event very special. He also provided some interesting background and information regarding the art of ventriloquism along with keepsakes. A highly professional, very talented, class act which one should definitely consider if looking for this type of performer. There is none better!

Great Entertainment and a Fun Night!

Daniel Jay brought a couple of his dummies (if that's the right word) including Fuzzball the Cat and Ziff. His comedy was great and his magic was very entertaining. He kept both the kids and the adults entertained. Highly recommended. His is one entertainer we will invite back for our next gathering. Lot's of audience participation and he even wrote some joke with the information I gave him about some of our people. Great time.

Review by Glen A.

Daniel was easy to communicate with through e-mail. he asked for information about the audience in advance to plan his show. He arrived early, and stayed on schedule. At times he was difficult to hear (we had an audience of 300) so I would suggest he use a lapel microphone.

Response from Daniel Jay Robison:

This was a great venue with a lot of fun people. I used their PA system and they had a stand microphone. Next time I will bring my own system with a wireless microphone system. All in all though, a great audience and really good time!

Review by Michael H.

We hired Danial for our Blue and Gold cub scout event and he was a huge hit with not only the kids but the parents as well! Fuzzballs name was being chanted for an encoure and the kids wished he had never left. His witty dialog also kept the adults entertained and more then a few commented on him positively at the end of the night. His price was well worth the service we recieved and he made this years B&G the best yet for our troop.

About

Growing up with Jimmy Nelson, Paul Winchell and Shari Lewis; Daniel took on ventriloquism at a very early age. One day while staying at a friend's house he got up early and ran across an album by Jimmy Nelson called "Instant Ventriloquism", he started practicing ventriloquism that day and never looked back. Ventriloquism got him in trouble more than once in class where, when a substitute teacher came in, Daniel would throw his voice and the teacher would yell at other kids. It was fun to see the others kids try to explain that Daniel was a ventriloquist and it wasn't them talking. One time in particular a teacher finally caught Daniel and made him stand out in the hallway, it just so happened that the principal was walking past and he saw Daniel and he just ask, "Throwing you voice in class again?" to which Daniel replied, "Yep!", the principal just laughed and walked away. Shortly after, the principal got Daniel in the newspaper at the Warren Tribune. At 12 Daniel began performing and also became interested in magic. He has performed at many of the local comedy clubs and been to many of the ventriloquist and magic conventions. Daniel Jay is a member of the IVS (International Ventriloquist Society) and the SAM (Society of American Magicians) and is the winner of the 2019 Midwest Ventriloquist of the Year Award. He has been quoted in the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times and has had his photograph on the front of the entertainment section of the New York Times as well.

Did you ever book an act and didn't have everything that the entertainer needed for their performance? With Daniel Jay there is nothing to worry about.
