What to expect

The “Spoon Man” has a totally clean act. He never uses dirty silverware. He will leave a lasting impression after playing on you (literally). It’s a spoonful of family fun. The “Spoon Man” is also a Published Author who offers a hilarious interactive comedy program for all ages. He also teaches how to play the spoons in his workshop titled (BYOS) Bring Your Own Spoons. He gives a real stirring performance. Everyone will really eat
him up. No bibs required.

The “Spoon Man” has been playing the spoons for nearly 35 years (he never had a social life) professionally for 30 years. He is married with 5 kids and a mortgage and supports his family by playing the spoons (by the grace of God). His program contains several outrageous impressions such as Glen Miller and Elvis
combining together, A Heavy Metal Spoon Player and A Rap Spoon Player. He has an audience sing-a-long competition. He creates a Mountain Band out of members of the audience. You may also see him play forks and knives. Flaming Spoons Of Death are also a possibility depending on the venue. In addition, if that is still not enough, everyone has an opportunity to get “SPOONED" which is a lot better than getting forked or knifed. Stop sitting around the house getting all tarnished up and come out and have some clean fun.

The “Spoon Man” has recently produced the first ever Instructional Video on How To Play The Spoons, appropriately titled “Music From The Kitchen”. 5 National publications have reviewed this video. You may also purchase this video or his book ahead of his performance for a promotional tool.
