If I could, I would give Jungle Joe 10 stars. I did a lot of research and reached out to quite a number of performers to put on a puppet show for the joint fourth birthday party my daughter had with another child. Jungle Joe's price point was excellent for what you get in comparison, and based on his reviews here, I decided to book him. From the beginning, he lived up to every rave review. He was quick to reply, thoughtful, and caring in our communications. He made the planning process so easy. As for the event itself, it was held in a public playground and his set-up was very straightforward and something he handled entirely on his own. And the performance- he couldn't have done a more incredible job! The party was nearly a month ago, and the children who attended are STILL talking about him! He gets the humor of four-year-olds perfectly, and the kids were literally falling over with laughter. In fact, the grown-ups didn't really watch the performance because they were so delighted watching their children have some of the biggest laughs of their lives. Not only was the performance outstanding, but Jungle Joe managed the young crowd flawlessly. Several times, an audience member would get so excited that he or she would rush up, or jump up when it was another child's time to interact with a puppet. Each time, Jungle Joe didn't miss a beat and very kindly but firmly got the child to sit down so that there would be no disruption to the show. I was also blown away by Jungle Joe's sensitivity and ability to read different children's needs. My daughter was very eager to participate in the show, but the other birthday child was very shy and strongly preferred staying in the audience. Jungle Joe figured that out immediately, and both birthday children got the treatment that made them feel the most comfortable and celebrated. Afterward, the children were overjoyed with the show nearly all the adults asked me where I found Jungle Joe! You should definitely book him for your event- it's one of the best choices I have made when planning any event!
