Community & Educational Outreach
In addition to mainstage performances I offer audience-tested school assembly programs with comprehensive teacher guides that connect to curriculum standards. I also offer outreach events that simultaneously function as promotional events, as you'll see below. Finally, I do a series of special presentations on film legend Charlie Chaplin. All of these programs complement my featured show and help to build the audience.
Is an outreach performance included in your mainstage performance fee?
Yes. I offer residencies that help presenters build audiences. At least one will be available as part of the performance fee, and others can be negotiated. These take the form of meta-theatrical stunts that generate word-of-mouth and media coverage. For example, I appear before Rotary groups as a stress-management expert whose stress-management tips all backfire; or take a stroll through the local shopping mall in slow-motion; or get buttonholed by a minister who coerces me into preaching the day's sermon--without words.

Promotion Publicity
In addition to supplying comprehensive promotional materials I offer residencies that help presenters build audiences. These take the form of meta-theatrical stunts that generate word-of-mouth and media coverage. For example, I appear before Rotary groups as a stress-management expert who falls apart; take a stroll through the local shopping mall in slow-motion; or make a surprise appearance in church to preach a silent sermon.
