What a great time!

Most of the audience members at our event were in their 70's. They Loved MerMan! Good, clean comedy and fun! We had tableside icebreaker magic prior to the show, and that was the icing on the cake! Everybody got in on the act and really enjoyed the evening. I highly recommend MerMan, he delivered exactly what he promised.
