Need an "MC" for your event? Here's what a leading parent magazine thinks!

"I could not have been more pleased!  Chris was the MC for our day-long Kids Health & Education Expo an we had a crowd of nearly 4,000!  Chris entertained the crowd (both the kids and parents loved him) with his imaginative shows, and kids were captivated.  He makes the kids think while entertaining them!  In addition to his funny, interactive  shows for kids, Chris was extremely professional in his demanding MC job that required making announcements and presentations on behalf of the
magazine, introducing other performers, and filling in when needed to make sure something exciting  was always happening on stage.  Throughout the entire nine-hour event, Chris was high-energy, engaging and quick on his feet.  I would hire him again in a minute for any event of any size.  He's THAT good!"
