Holiday Party•Reviewed on April 9, 2021•From Carlsbad, CA

Every step of the way dealing with Joe was a true pleasure! He is extremely entertaining, as both the children (this was a show for mostly toddlers) AND their parents were delighted. I watched the faces of the children. They were enthralled, and their parents were overjoyed to see their kids so wholesomely entertained. Joe made the process easy and pleasant -- from booking to payment. I proudly offer Joe the highest possible recommendation!

Joe was great! Everything about the show was fantastic. The kids and families were very engaged and entertained. Joe kept everyone involved and encouraged kids to participate. The characters kept coming out of his sleeve. He’s super friendly and reaches out to the kids in so many ways. You couldn’t tell it was a virtual show based on the kids’ reaction. At the end of the show he even taught the kids some secrets of the profession! Highly recommended!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 24, 2021•From San Francisco, CA

Joe was terrific! He entertained 23 nine year old and their parents for a solid hour on Zoom. My son was in stiches-which was the goal. Beautiful and fun puppets entertained all. Joe's sense of humor, patience, and tutorial on how to do it ourselves took it over the top.

And THANK YOU. The kids were wonderful and I can tell your son has a great sense of humor (he laughed at all my jokes).

Joe has done an excellent job with our summer virtual camp and now our virtual after school program, Dash Camp Afterschool. Joe's show is definitely a fan favorite.In addition to his awesome show, Joe has been very accommodating, honoring any requests we may have, and providing awesome feedback on how to make the overall experience better for our campers. Joe is a huge team player, a great talent and his show is just so fun!! Both kids and adults are guaranteed to laugh a lot during his show. I highly recommend Joe for virtual or in person shows. Huge thanks for everything Joe! -Dash Camp Afterschool Team www.dash-camp.com

When you're stuck at home and there's social distancing rules in your state, you have very limited options on activities for your kid's birthday. Enter Joe Gandelman's virtual puppet show! My daughter, her friends, and all the parents were very entertained with Joe's comedy and his ventriloquy skills. He communicated very well on what to expect during the show and showed up early on Zoom to do a quick sound/video check to reduce any hiccups. Highly recommend Joe Gandelman for virtual shows to add some smiles and laughter during these times.

Thank you SO MUCH for inviting "us" to do our VIRTUAL SHOW with the more than 20 families!! It was an honor of being part of your event! Zoom as usually worked fine for a show and I'm now working on learning how to use another platform which is better for future shows (Zoom will also be available as an option).

Joe gave the perfect performance to an audience that ranged from 2 years old through 6th grade. He was engaging and got the kids involved in the performance. The kids loved hIs cast of characters. He taught them some secrets on ventriloquism and let them join him on stage. I highly recommend him to entertain at your event. He offers good, clean,wholesome fun! Thanks Joe! #gandypro, #joegandelman #familyentertainer.com

Joe had so many puppets! The kids were entertained the entire time. My son was treated so special by Joe. He was made the center of attention ! The kids were so excited to get to try out the puppet and learn how to do what he does. My 8 year old son told me his party was “fantastic!” We couldn’t be happier with the entire performance!

Our elementary school hired Joe Gandelman for our family reading night and he was amazing. It's not easy to keep both parents and students entertained for an entire hour, but that's exactly what Joe Gandelman did. He had an entire auditorium mesmerized with his unique humor and amazing puppets and even tied in our reading theme into his presentation. Every time he brought out a new puppet, the kids roared in excitement. Then his humor would take over. Joe Gandelman also stuck around after his presentation and talked to kids about the behind the scenes of puppetry. He was very patient and answered all their questions. Great all-around presentation!
