Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on April 13, 2020•From San Diego, CA

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.

He was great - exactly what we were looking for! kids and parents greatly enjoyed!

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).

He is great. The children and staff really enjoy having him every year. He treats the kids with respect and has patience with them as he teaches them how to perform. He gives every child a turn if he can. Thank you

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

Excellent with kids, we had around 30 kids and some of the kids were being a bit roudy. But joe handled them real well and kept entertaining all. He is extremely nice and polite and a real pleasure to deal with .

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 18, 2018•From Mission Hills, CA

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!

Joe and his cast put on a great show our group...50 guests ranging from 5 years old to 100...!!! He was very accommodating with the schedule and asked questions ahead of time to include personal tidbits in his act. Everyone enjoyed the show.

School Assembly•Reviewed on March 3, 2014•From Chula Vista, CA

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!

Sorority Function•Reviewed on May 23, 2016•From Riverside, CA

We were very impressed, amused, and had fun with his performance. Several of my sisters stated that this was different and made them feel very "youthful" ! :-). Its wonderful when you can bring laughter to all. Awesome job! Cheryl Slaughter: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Banquet•Reviewed on May 17, 2015•From San Diego, CA

All the children (and adults) who watched the performance were fully entertained. He brought hus own sound system, setup early, kept the audience engaged and the variety of puppets kept things interesting and funny! We will definitely hire Joe to return at our school banquet next year!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 11, 2013•From San Diego, CA

Joe did an excellent show with a group that I feel is difficult to entertain. We are all tax professionals and many of them are up their in years and not overly out going. We had a good amount of participation from the more out going bunch and made it a really fun show to end the year with. Thank you to Joe for doing a great job and entertaining us at our holiday party.

From the minute that I got in contact with Joe he was not just very accomodating but also very eager to do the best arrangements to make my event successful, he sent me a questionary with questions that made the party more personal, my guests and family truly enjoyed him. I certanly would hire him again.

Joe recently performed during our children's program at our annual SMA Conference and he was great with all the kids! His show was wonderful and it kept the kids entertained while their parents were attending workshops! Joe was very accommodting and even taught every kid who was interested how to speak without moving their mouth! I would highly reccommend!
