Overview

America’s #1 Superhero Instructor Stu Jacobson travels throughout America performing his 45-minute motivational children’s show, Be Kind Be Positive and Read, at schools, libraries and festivals. Stu teaches kids K through 5 three simple rules for becoming a successful superhero: Be Kind Be Positive and Read.

“Low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence are serious issues which can have significant long-term effects on a child’s life”, says Jacobson. “Everyone wants to be liked, but it’s how you go about it that ultimately determines someone’s likability. I want this show to serve as a guide for kids to learn how they can make the right choices and be liked by everyone.”

What an amazing and uplifting show!

We had the Stu Show come out to an event that we did for kids in the community and they were FANTASTIC! What a positive upbeat message for kids! Stuart showed up early to set up and was professional and fun! He engaged everyone and adapted well to the event being a little different than we expected. We would give him 10 stars if we could! We highly highly recommend The Stu Show to anyone wanting to add great, QUALITY, entertainment to their children's event! This show was so original, positive and entertaining! One of the best we have ever worked with!! Don't hesitate, book the Stu Show today and together we can help all children Be Kind, Be Positive, and READ!!

Great Show!

Stu was part of a Halloween community event we host. The show was so good! Stu is talented, engaging, fun, and enthusiastic. His message about being kind and reading was well received by children and their families. Stu was a great guy to work with. You'll want Stu at your event. Thank you so much Stu!

Entertaining, Fun and Motivational Experience for children

Stu is a experienced performer that connects with children and keeps their attention through song and humor. We had Stu for our family day event during our Fourth of July festival and he was a great hit with the children and the adults.

Stu Shares Positive Message With Camp!

We had a great time with Stu at our camp in Chicago. He was genuinely a great guy besides providing about 60 minutes of non-stop fun! Stu got our staff involved as well and they loved it! If you want to be entertained and send a message of positivity, call Stu!

Accommodating and Engaging

The Stu Show was perfect for us! We are a small school with a very unique population. Stuart went above and beyond to provide fun, engaging entertainment with a positive message. He was professional, polite and extremely accommodating. We will be using him again!!

About

Low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence are serious issues which can have significant long-term effects on a child’s life. Everyone wants to be liked, but it’s how you go about it that ultimately determines someone’s likability. I want this 40-minute performance to serve as a guide for kids to learn how they can make the right choices and be liked by everyone.
I’m a speaker, musician, songwriter and sociologist. I’m also the author of the popular self-esteem building book I Like to Be Liked, 12 Things to Do (All of The Time) To Be Liked.
I have dedicated my life to researching, investigating and studying human charm, charisma, appeal and success. My purpose has been clear. Why are some people LIKED more than others? I have taken my findings and studied them, scrutinized them, analyzed them, dissected them, questioned them and debated them. I have found that successful social interaction is NOT complicated. In fact, it is quite simple. I’d love to share my findings with both young and old audiences alike.
