This was one hot act!!!

Jim performed at an outdoor event in Dalton GA where the temps hit 100 degrees. As is usual in the south the humidity was also high. Jim did not let this affect his performance at all, and he just rolled with it. He was amazing, hilarious, magical and a real hoot. Our event included children of all ages as well as adults. Everyone was entertained, the young one sitting on the floor gazing up at him and the adult kids who howled with laughter. The children were all fascinated by the puppets ( Jims Friends) I think the rabbit was a favorite with them.

Set list

All of our performances are put together for you. We do not use a set show. Customers sometime ask for a video of our program, With every show geared to the costumer any videos would be useless as all are different.

Influences and inspiration

All church performances are a blessing to us, it's our favorite. We have done the circle, meaning we have performed in front of crowds of over 10,000 and crowds of 2. We give the crowd of 2 the same show as 10,000. We have in the past opened for many major stars and even 2 major TV shows. What do we love the most? A performance for YOU. You get the top show for the least price.

Testimonials
