Talk to a presenter who has booked us
In this business a peer’s word settles it faster than any press kit. The group will put you in touch with presenters who have hired them — and in most cases, hired them more than once.
Why repeat bookings are the number that matters
Anyone can be booked once. The list worth reading is the venues that brought the group back — a fair board that rebooked five times, a performing arts center that has had the group in three seasons, a corporate client who used them for consecutive leadership events.
Two examples already public elsewhere on this site: the Saline Community Fair hired the group five times, and the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center in Dearborn — where the national PBS special was taped — has had the group back twice since.
How to get a reference
Tell us what kind of date you are filling and we will match you to a presenter who has programmed the same thing. A fair board should hear from a fair board, not from a theatre.
- Fairs and festivals — outdoor main stage, grandstand, two 45-minute sets
- Performing arts centers — ticketed single night, full production, house of 300 to 1,700
- Conventions and corporate — ballroom, conference programme, headline entertainment
- Holiday series — the Ha Ha Holidays show in late November and December
- Resort and retirement community circuits — the Cal-Am properties in Mesa, Arizona
Contact details are shared with the presenter’s permission, not published here — which is how most of them prefer it, and how you would want yours handled.
What you can read without asking anyone
If you would rather not make a call yet, there is outside opinion already in print.
