Thank you for taking the time to read this special message. I’ve been working professionally as an entertainer for nearly 20 years and really enjoy performing at fairs and festivals for two reasons: one, the wide variety of ages present at these events, and two, most of the local festivals are community-run and I enjoy supporting local communities!
I wanted to let you know a little about me and more importantly, how I can help your event. First, as a full-time professional, one of the things I understand is just how busy and chaotic things can be at events such as yours. Therefore, I want to assure you that my needs are minimal – as long as I have a place to perform and power for my sound system, I don’t need anything else: no dressing rooms, no special introductions, no sound systems, no help carrying anything in…nothing!
Additionally, I customize my show to your event. While everything I do is family friendly, I can lean more heavily towards young children in terms of who I design the show for. If you’re looking at entertaining the adults, I can design a program that will capture the attention of adults. However, and this is REALLY important, even if your preference is a show designed primarily for adults, I guarantee that everything that I do is completely non-offensive and appropriate for all ages. I do this because at a fair or festival, anyone can attend and I never risk offending anyone.
I also will ask you a lot of questions so that I am completely prepared to deliver a great performance for your event. I will find out where the entertainers park, who do I need to contact on the day of the event in case I have questions, loading/unloading procedures, and much more. In short, by being completely prepared, I will be doing my best to give you the entertainment that is right for your event with NO hassle!
As far crowds and turnout, I also understand that fairs and festivals cannot guarantee a certain number of people for a performance and quite frankly event coordinators such as yourself have a 100 other things to worry about. Therefore I have several fun things I do to help ‘build a crowd’ before my performance actually starts.
Finally, I can also provide you with a promotional packet, coloring contest, and fliers to help maximize turnout for my performances which means a bigger turnout for your event. It’s a complete win-win!
In fact, I feel so strongly about the quality of my shows that I offer a “Better-Than-Money-Back-Guarantee,” meaning if you feel that I failed to deliver on my promise to present a fun-filled, amazing show that captivates all ages, not only will you receive a full refund, but I will donate $250 to your fair or festival. I’m also proud to say that after nearly 20 years of professional work and THOUSANDS of shows, I’ve NEVER had a single client take me up on my guarantee!
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
Best,
Cris Johnson
