Here's what others are saying--
"We have never had a better performer at our Picnic! Mandy, you really made the day special for everyone. The adults were laughing as hard as the kids. "
-Rose Medina SEIU Local 400 Picnic Coordinator
"Mandy was great.. She did a very entertaining show that kept all the 5 year olds entertained and laughing the whole time, made some more balloon animals after the show, and then even stayed a few minutes over to make a few extra balloons in case some popped. She was just a lovely entertainer, and we would highly recommend her."
-Michelle Z, Birthday Party
"Mandy the clown is simply wonderful... the children were rolling in the aisles as Mandy deftly adapted her performance to suit the humor of the room. Parents also thoroughly enjoyed Many's skilled performance... I've seen many people paint faces, but Mandy produced works of art! ... This made the party one of the most pleasurable for us, knowing that all the kids were so happy. We strongly recommend having Mandy perform at your next party! She came early and left late, worked very hard (but made it look easy) and was worth every penny." --Aleksander B.

"Mandy the Clown was a excellent performer. My daughter and guests (including the adults) was very amazed and entertained. The face painting and balloon art was some of the best artistry I have ever seen. "

"This was the best in-home party we ever had. Mandy came early and stayed late, entertained the children beautifully, and kept them under control in the nicest, most unobtrusive way. We had her for clowning, face painting, and and balloon animals for our turning-7-year old with kids ranging from 3-10, and they all had a great time. Even my husband commented the time seemed to pass so quickly, because we didn't have to entertain the kids. She even helped me organize my own time by telling me when she was wrapping up and suggesting I start the food. I would have her again in a heartbeat."

"We hired Mandy to appear at our son's 2nd birthday party for face painting, balloon twisting, and keeping the children amused. She was fantastic!!! The children gravitated toward her right from the start -- eager to check out the many cool toys and puppets in her trunk. From there, they enjoyed having her do some of the best face painting and balloon animals we had ever seen. The older children and adults were just as enamored. We highly recommend Mandy for your next party!

"She was fabulous! We had her over for my sons 2 year old birthday party. We had a mix of ages of kids and she was excellent in catering to all of them! She was not in their face, made each of them feel special, and made awesome balloons. Additionally, she was very accomodating with timing and scheduling, and special requests for blowing bubbles. We were incredibly thrilled to have her! She is awesome!!"

"We hired Mandy the Clown to visit a 3-year old child in a pediatric rehabilitation center. She was awesome -- the adults enjoyed her show as much as the children. From juggling to disappearing handkerchiefs and spinning plates, all of the fun and silly things that clowns do paid off, as many faces were brightened and there were smiles galore. Her face painting was extra special. Faces were painted and spirits were lifted! I would not hesitate to hire Mandy again or recommend her to ANYONE!!!"

"We hired Mandy for a tradeshow that had a state fair theme. She came in first as a stilt walker and wowed the crowd. Then she changed into a fortune teller and very few people realized it was the same person. She was very engaging and fun and we had a line of people wanting to spend time with her. Even after the show closed, she continued to stay for those still hoping to have their "fortune" told. She was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her and hope to have another opportunity to hire her!"

"Mandy the Clown was fantastic! She performed for our corporate picnic on what had to have been the hottest most humid day of the summer, but our guests didn't seem to notice the heat as they would caught up in the cool performing antics of Mandy. The children were especially thrilled to recieve the great ballon animals, swords, hats and other creations. She does it all - from juggling, unicycling, and other amazing tricks. Mandy the Clown is very personable and made our picnic very fun and memorable. I highly recommend her!"

"I was very satisfied with Mandy. She was there early to begin setting up to make sure she beat the rain. She kept the children entertained the whole duration of the party and she had not only the children laughing, but also the adults. My guests just couldn't believe how awesome her balloon making talent was. I think Mandy was worth every penny I spent on her and I would definitely reccomend her to everyone. "

"Mandy was absolutely wonderful!! She was accommodating. For my daughter's princess themed party, I requested that Mandy dress as a court jester instead of a typical clown and she did it! Mandy was very professional. She remained in contact with me before the date of the party and sent me an official contract to read, which was very easy to understand. Most importantly though, Mandy was an excellent performer from beginning to end!! She had everyone - from the kids to the adults - cracking up! After the party, I got a lot of compliments from the guests saying that Mandy was great! Pleasure doing business with you, Mandy!!"

"Mandy was incredibly easy to work with. Every email was followed up with a prompt response via phone and email, prior to the event.
Although the event was at a bar, with an attendance of over 400 guests, she was able to get around, dance, mingle and interact with guests throughout the entire time. I was completely impressed and relieved to know that I booked someone that really knew what they were doing. She was also a great sport with playful hecklers, keeping a smile on her face the entire time.
I would absolutely recommend Mandy. She is the consummate professional and one of the best at what she does!"

I couldn´t have chosen a better clown. I will call her next year for sure."

"Mandy went over & beyond & kept everyone of her 5 & about audience enthralled through her show;The kids were so engrossed in the show that not one left the place until the show ended.Next was balloon twisting.Mandy called each kid by name& made for each one of them the very character they wanted.They were spellbound by the way Mandy was transforming a simple balloon into the various shapes right in front of their eyes.At dinner break she got them to stand in line for their face painting & got what they wanted painted on their face.By the end of the show some of the kids wanted her to come for their b'day party!That speaks volumes of what a wonderful show it was.

"Mandy was awesome!!! I was a little worried because I had not met her in person before the party. But, she arrived right on time. She has a great disposition and is very easy to work with. I have 2 year old twin boys, and so I was a little worried that the entertainment would be a little over their heads. Not so with MAndy!! She was able to keep all of the children, ages 2-11, entertained--not an easy feat. But best of all, her balloon twisting is beyond compare. She made jet packs, fairy backpacks, etc. SHe did things with balloons, I did not think were possible. My guests were asking for her contact info. throughout the party. I will definately use her again. "

"Mandy was not good, she was excellent! And exactly what we needed. She was very accommodating, considering the number of children kept changing. Mandy was ready to go when she arrived and she did more than what we had agreed, by greeting the kids that arrived early. My guests were very happy with the entertainment and some of them asked me for Mandy's contact right there at the party. I would highly recommend Mandy and I hope to hire her again in the future. My 3 year old still remembers her and repeats "Mandy is funny!" very often. Mandy was the highlight of the party!"

Thank you Mandy!

"We could not have been more impressed with Mandy. She performed Tarot Card readings for three days at a trade show for us and was by far the biggest draw in the entire exhibit hall (over 200 exhibitors). Mandy has just the right mix of talent and humor to work any room. She was even mentioned by name (Madame Olga) in one of the presentations at the conference which was filled with scientists and researchers. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous fortune teller!"

"Mandy did a great job for us. It was a small B-day party for my 5-yr-old son and I needed something to make it special for all the kids. She did a great job without overwhelming us, which had been my fear. She was also able to engage a 10-yr-old in the activities without skipping a beat. I would definitely use her again or recommend her for any type of party."
