On the Stage:
Bill's stage show sweeps his audience along on a non-stop journey where microphones come to life, chickens are levitated, music stands disintegrate and old suitcases have a mind of their own- including a pesky fly which intervenes at just the wrong moment ! This non-stop, family-friendly show intertwines comedy mayhem and audience participation with wacky music,characters, costumes and sound effects.
THE Concert Warm-up Act:
Bill is also the PERFECT warm-up comedy act for large concerts and events. For over 15 years and 300-plus concerts, he has brought down the house with side-splitting comedy hijinks. His uproariously funny blend of masterful physical comedy, mimic and audience improvisation has made him a hands-down favorite wherever he goes! Working entirely within the crowd, Bill creates "Living Caricatures" of unsuspecting concert goers.
Bill's specialty is highly spontaneous audience interactions. He lights up the crowd with an infinite variety of delightfully hilarious (and slightly mischievous) antics.
His high energy and physical mastery has thrilled crowds (often up 10,000 people or more) in concert venues across the country. Bill has warmed up for every concievable type of concert and audience demographic. The list includes Bill Cosby, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Tony Bennett, Brooks and Dunn, ZZ Top ...to name a few. See a larger list in the "Bios and Info" section.
Strolling Characters:
Interactive strolling characters include: The Clean-Up Guy William T Robespeirre- Eccentric Complimentor The Comedy Waiter The Mechanical Nutcracker: Watch your customer's surprised reactions and delighted smiles as the Giant Nutcracker Toy comes to Life !
Children and adults alike will be entranced by the colorful costume, authentic make-up and the graceful, elegant movement. Standing frozen like a statue then suddenly wheeling into action like a giant wind-up toy, the robot-like Nutcracker enchants onlookers.
Everyone will be completely entertained as he mingles and interacts throughout the crowd, greeting people, shaking hands and bringing smiles and laughter to every holiday activity.
