December 9, 2024Great with young kids
Doug did a great job at our four-year-old's birthday party even though the group was very young and had a short attention span.

January 29, 2024Great performance at our community Winter Carnival!
Doug's performance at our community Winter Carnival was a big hit! The crowd was mainly families with young children, and the children loved it. The booking process and communication with Doug leading up to the event was quick and easy through GigSalad. Thank you for a great performance!

September 24, 2023He is awesome!
Had Doug perform for my grade one’s class virtually and managed to keep their attention for nearly an hour online! That’s magical! His songs are great and so so cute and his energy is one of a kind! Made me feel like a kid all over again!

About
Doug is a 35 year veteran of the children's music genre having performed at Fairs, Festivals, Schools and Libraries across Canada bringing with him his signature whacky personality and song delivery as he delves into impossible stories with a Talking Jacket, a Cheesy-Eating Dinosaur, Tiny Trucks on your back and a Magical Mind reading song. His most oft heard, after-show remark is 'Your Funny' which of course just HAD to become the title of Doug's 4th children's CD. Available on iTunes.
Additional booking notes
Request no food present during performance.
Suggest other distractions (ex: face painting; clowns; other attractions happening at same time) be suspended during Doug's show to assist attention span of children.
