More shows coming

Well, THIS got interesting. The March show at the Jewelbox was not only sold out but I had to turn people away. I didn’t like turning people away but that was AWESOME that we sold out. For those wondering what it’s like to run a show, it’s terrifying. You do all this work and then you just hope people will actually show up to see it. So seeing a full house was fantastic.

A lot of folks stayed to eat at Rendezvous to eat afterwards. I gave everyone that did a free gift and did some closeup magic for them – the stuff I do at corporate events – and that went really well and is something I plan to continue doing!

The March show was the last show I had scheduled at the Jewelbox. But between selling out and everyone staying to eat, the Jewelbox seems to be fairly happy with me! YAY! I am now talking to them about what we’re doing next – basically I will be doing more shows there and just need to decide if I can pull together an April show or if I need to skip a month and pick up in March.

But there’s more. I’ve been working with a fantastic woman named Michelle, who ROCKS. And she has managed to hook me up with a second show in Burien! This one is a solo show – I’m not sure I could pull off two variety shows – so it’ll just be me doing my one man show. The theater is the Tin Theater and it’s just a GORGOUS theater. It seats about 50, so the shows will be really intimate. We are sticking with the family show theme, though, and affordable tickets – so bring your kids! I’ll be doing some stuff for your kids, some stuff for you, and everyone should have a really fun show!

That should start on the third Sunday in April and continue on third Sundays. The Jewelbox will be on second Sundays.

And yes, there’s more … I’ve been working with a juggler and acrobat named Will Smith, who has helped behind the scenes with lining up acts for the Jewelbox and just making it work. And occasionally BEING on of the acts with his partner Jenny. Will is going to start helping me onstage as my partner, which should bring a lot of humor and extra fun to the stage!

The last show went GREAT. Payne opened and was fantastic as always. Jenn Q and the Fantastic Fonzie did their dog act - it was adorable and I could tell all the kids loved it. My son talked about that one a lot afterwards! Bohemian Acro did a really cool balancing act and I closed.

This is the last of a run of three shows I had at the Jewelbox. Sales went up each time and the show seems to be going great. I want to keep it going, and will be figuring out what happens next very soon!
