I will work with each venue to develop a show that will fit the needs and budget of the program. Most shows are scheduled for an hour. Discounts are available for longer shows. In addition, my first appearance in any new venue is at a discounted rate. That way, there is an opportunity to see and hear what he does, before deciding whether he is the right choice for the venue's entertainment needs. His re-booking rate speaks for itself.
