Bob was really great! His performance was just what I expected. He was on time and he answered right away as I texted him prior to his appearance! Thanks Bob, It was a pleasure! My wife will always remember her 70th birthday when Elvis came to dinner!

Wonderful, Interactive Performance

Robert is a master at impersonating Elvis, not to mention a very, very kind individual. Our Elvis act was a short 'headliner' to our own band of members from our organization. Attendees loved it! Elvis Bob sounds amazing and his interaction during his performance with the crowd as well as afterward for pictures really was a hit for our event! And I found him more affordable than some of the other performers to boot. Highly recommend!

75th Birthday Party

Donald Trump arrived on time and was an instant hit at the party of about 60 plus people (both positive and a few negative responses} which were expected. Some of the attendees have different political opinions. Overall, it was a successful photo op and even the staff was impressed with the laughs and reactions. I highly recommend hiring "the Donald" for your next event. You will not be disappointed!!

Testimonials

Bob was wonderful and he made my father's birthday party a memorable one. I highly recommend him.

– Heather Vastakis

Bob arrived for the gig and was so sweet. He was very professional and accomodating in any requests we had. I hope he continues to have much success with his Elvis show. Thanks Bob!

– Terri M.

I thought her was great and my mom loved having an Elvis Impersonator at her birthday party. Her friends and family definietely got into it too. He was excellent.

– Mali M.

Bob James was a terrific entertainer, with the style and Charisma of "Elvis" himself.. His costume and presentation was Fabulous, but more important he was the Nicest guy to work with.. the guests all ended up having crushes on him, as if they were touched by he great Elvis, saving his momentos of Teddy bears, and scarfs., forever. He made the party such a blast. I recommend him with Five Stars!!!

– Ellen H.

Our party was a success due to Bob's entertainment. All guests at our party still talk about it and watch the videos over and over. I would be a reference for Bob anytime!

– Steven S.

From my first phone conversation with Bob, I could tell Bob was a professional and more so, a gentleman. He made our 50th Surprise birthday party for a friend an over-the-top experience for everyone. His appearance, his talent and his showmanship was unsurpassed. In looking to future community fund raisers, Bob would be my first choice for entertainment. Thank you for your recommendation and leading me to Mr. Bob James.

– Paulette Vita

If you're looking for Elvis, here he is. Bob was great. Everyone loved, loved, loved his performance. They couldn't stop talking about him even after he was long gone. He was better than I expected. He really did look and sound like Elvis. Bob was extremely professional, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him. I wish I was having another party so I could have him back. Thank you for a wonderful and a very memorable performance.

– Kristen R.

Bob was outstanding. From the moment I spoke woth him on the phone I knew that there was something special about him. Not only did he look and sound like Elvis but has a superb spirit and made our party very special and one that people will talk about for years to come. Thanks again Bob

– Ross Eisner

Bob was a phenomenal performer, and a real pleasure to deal with. He seemed genuinely interested in making this a special occasion for my friend. And he was a huge hit. I would highly recommend him!

– K.H.

Bob James was perfect. Accomodating, talented and a lot of fun. He had a great voice, personality and a super entertainer. Even those who don't like "Elvis" loved him. My sister was trilled and so tickled with Bob James. He made her 50th Birthday Party a smashing hit. Thank you so much and I've already recommended him to others as well as your site.

– Melody Cass

Totally awesome, more than I could have hoped for. My ten year old son will remember this "Elvis" for the rest of his life. Bob catered to the class and every stray teacher that came our way. He sang, danced, signed autographs and posed for pictures. It was such an amazing day for my son. We can't wait for him to come to a show near us, we will be buying the first tickets!!

– Mellisa I.

Bob James was awesome. It was the best spent money for the entire party. The women loved him and the men danced too. Would recommend and use him again for the next party! Thanks for a great job

– Matthew P.

Bob is talented and puts on a great show. The thing that sets him apart is that he is a genuinely nice person who cares about the people he is entertaining. His show is a lot of fun wihtout crossing the line
