Stand Out From the Rest

I have made a very successful career in entertaining producers and audiences. It was unheard of to make it on to Champions On Ice for an extended period of time with anything less than a National gold medal or being on an Olympic team. I knew that the tour needed a good comedian and demonstrated my Cartman/Doubtfire to Tom Collins in 1999. I joined as a full cast member in 2000. I could always entertain an audience, but to get Tom’s approval was another. I found a talent of being able to put together:
- good music for a program
- define and showcase my strengths
- know how to present everything in a manner leaving the audience wanting more
In a demo DVD you need to introduce yourself, show your tricks and elements, and present one good program. Let Dan put together a great Demo DVD for you.
