Singing Telegrams Singing Telegram from Walnut Creek, CA

Linda Hellman's most popular character for singing telegrams is Olga Kubitski, Gypsy Fortuneteller from Gosh-am-I, Hungry (sic). She performs in person or on Zoom, entering the place or computer screen in full garb, shaking a tambourine, and trilling in high syllables like a banshee. Linda pretends she is in the wrong home, restaurant, or Zoom room, immediately exits, only to return seconds later. "Just kidding." Being emailed a picture of the guest of honor and information about the honoree in advance, by the person hiring her, she memorizes and develops a funny, roast-like speech about the special person. Linda will ask for a variety of things, including the honoree's favorite sports teams, celebrities, animals, color, music, friends and family, and particularly hilarious or embarrassing experiences. Linda reads an original rhyming poem, makes an animal balloon, and sings to "The William Tell Overture" or another appropiate song. Linda was on TVs "Real Peole" where Barnum and Bailey's Circus boss clown Dusty Littletold her she'd be perfect for the Clown College. She entertained for Ted Danson who gave her a $20 tip, John and Jason Ritter, (John complimented her highly on her performance, and Robert Culp for Katt Williams, "The Greatest American Hero as Wunder Woman." She performed 2/29/24 and the hostess gave her her highest tip ever, a whopping $130! Linda/Olga was fabulous!! We surprised our boss on Zoom for her birthday. We didn't have a lot of details about our boss to give. Linda/Olga did a great job just coming up with material that was funny and she improvised. • Professionalism: 5 • Accommodating: 5 • Overall Talent: 5 • Recommendation: 5 • Overall satisfaction: 5 ________________________________________________________ Psychic Olga Kubitski was wonderful for my Mom's 75th birthday party. Olga's performance was amazing! She really listened to the details we gave her about my mom and our family. Besides singing, she created a very funny limerick, made joke after joke about family details, pulled out a couple of magic tricks, and preformed a psychic reading over my brother’s bald head as her “crystal ball”. She brought a whole new level of fun to our family party! Thanks again, Olga, for making our party such a success! ________________________________________________________ “Thanks Linda! You were a huge hit! The office loved your singing telegram as Olga Kubitski, Gypsy Fortuneteller and Popo (father-in-law) got a huge kick out of it. Thanks again!!” She was great, had the whole office laughing! Her gypsy character was perfect for the April Fool’s joke we wanted to play on my father-in-law! • Professionalism: 5 • Quality of service: 5 • Ability to handle special requests: 5 • Willingness to recommend to a friend: 5 • Overall satisfaction: 5 ________________________________________________________ Absolutely Fabulous!!!! Olga Kubitski from "Goshi-Am-I, Hungry knew how to work with the crowd for our anniversary party and most importantly she kept the crowd engaged as the Gypsy Fortuneteller. Even though there was a lot of noise, she knew how to get the people to be quiet and listen to her which was so great!! I would totally recommend her for any party!!! ________________________________________________________ Give Her a 5 in all areas!! Super funny, outgoing. Doing her RESEARCH and making everything funny regarding what I told her was MOST IMPRESSIVE. I will definitely book Olga for singing telegrams again. ________________________________________________________ Hello Olga Kubitski, The Gypsy Fortuneteller performed a singing telegram that was superb from start to finish! We live across the country so we were not be able to attend the b-day party. It was short notice, but she contacted us to determine funny events and info about the guest of honor, wrote a poem and confirmed the date, time & location. She arrived on time and when the party had not really started yet she called us to let us know that she had arrived and would stay longer. Many of the attendees at the party did not know one another so it was a great ice breaker and made for a hilarious, fun kick-off to the 40th b-day party for our daughter. Wish we could have been there. Daughter said it was the best BD present ever!!
