Review by Alyssa G.
Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on July 28, 2016•From Tustin, CA
Jennifer was very professional during our phone conversations while planning the show. Unfortunately, I just booked her for a puppet show and did not use her for face painting or caricatures so I am guessing she is better skilled in these endeavors based on the reviews. It was a hot day, but she was late and flustered and had trouble getting her music to work. The kids seemed the enjoy her performance, but we could not hear her at all so she definitely needed better amplification. I was disappointed because although there was a stage, there was no puppets behind the stage for the show. It was all marionettes in front. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Thank-you Alyssa for including me. Before booking, I always clarify that I need close parking, that my show is small for small groups, ask which show desired, & if there is a costume request. I arrived on time, there was no parking. To make her happy, on one of the hottest days of the year, I satisfied her late requests by dressing in costume & adding marionettes. I bring each out individually to entertain in front of the stage. This is a style of puppetry. With caricatures, I do not mind large crowds, but my show is for small groups. There was a huge loud adult crowd, & an adult guest kept interfering with my show. I`m so happy the approx. 30 children enjoyed it!

The caricatures were good but I was hoping they would be more in detail and be in color but overall not bad. The magic show thankfully was for four year olds because she was very unorganized and was not able to remember some of her own magic tricks and would have to pause and ask around. Lastly she came in with a cold which is kind of the last thing I want with kids around and my 6 month old baby. So not exactly what I had in mind, but my boy still enjoyed it and that was all that matter to me in the end! Thank you for still coming out.

Nikki asked me to draw the quickest type of caricatures I could to cover all the guests in the shortest amount of time. She did not ask for color. I always have color with me if the client asks, but rarely do clients ask for color, since black & white covers as many as possible during the time. Yes, I am in front of the audience, I do ask for audience participation. It is part of the show. Forgetting one trick was actually part of the comedy routine, which turns out to be a successful trick. Yes, I had designed that show for a 4 year old, since the show was for 4 year olds. I did not have a cold. Most of all, I am happy her son & guests enjoyed it! Thank-you, Nikki!
