Feedback

  • Whoopsy Daisy (Melody Newcombe) was absolutely fantastic in every way! The kids (and adults) couldn't take their eyes off her and buzzed around her like bees to honey. In addition she kept in close contact with me every step of the way to be sure that I was comfortable that she would arrive where and when we agreed upon. I couldn't have been more pleased or impressed with her talent and her professionalism. We will have her back for sure next year!! Thank you. Pat Placona -- Patricia P, Hillsdale, NY, 11/19/2011
  • Melody was great. Children and adults loved her magic show. During the face-painting, she was very patient with the children. We look forward to having her perform at future events. -- Sharrice B, Kingston, NY, 8/19/2011
  • Melody was just what I was looking for to enrich my five year old's birthday party. Her costume was adorable, her manner warm and personable, she was amazingly talented with face painting, an amusingagician, and very professional in her attention to the details of the party (my kids names, the location of the party, etc. -- Jessica P, Goshen, CT, 2/19/2011
  • They were wonderful! They did two shows. One was for grades K and 1, and one for grades 2 and 3. Both shows were age appropriate. The teachers thought they were great and the children really enjoyed the show. The audience participation with the children made it so exciting for them. The magic tricks were excellent! I would highly recommend them for any child's party or school assembly. -- Suellen M, Catskill, NY, 5/22/2009
  • Melody was professional and organized prior to the event making sure that she understood our needs and was willing to accomodate special requests. She arrived promptly as scheduled (and even made a call when she thought she might be late...but was on time anyway). Melody's performance exceeded our expectations and I will absolutely be looking to hire her again for future events. -- Diane R, Kingston, NY, 10/31/2008
  • My family and I could not posssibly have been more satisfied with our deciions to hire Melody to help celebrate my brother's birthday. Words cannot describe. She's a gift. -- Frank B, Albany, NY, 10/30/2008
  • Melody came to our Open House dressed as "Luna" the fairy godmother. She did a wonderful job face painting, and accommodated all of our little clients, whether they wanted a simple balloon on their hand, or an elaborate full cat face. Melody has a very kind and warm personality, and interacted very well with the children. She made them feel comfortable, and made sure that she was doing what they wanted. Her face painting looks very professional and artistic. Melody went above and beyond to accommodate our requests for the event, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering her services. -- Angela A, Avon, CT, 9/16/2007
  • Melody was very professional in her approach to getting to know the subject of her "singing telegram." She was on time, she had prepared everything that she agreed to, and simply delighted my stepson and his family. I am sorry that she does not live in my area (600 miles away), for I could find clients for her among my friends and family here. I would highly recommend her for her vocal talents, clown artistry, cartooning--she provided excellent entertainment value! -- Jerry B, Hurley, NY, 4/7/2007
  • It was a rainy day and Whoopsy Daisy saved the party by occupying about 25 children for 2 hours. She and Dusty were excellent. We would recommend her highly. -- Diane S, Littleton, MA, 8/27/2006
  • Melody Newcombe made a bright and colorful addition to our party. She and her assistant had great rapport with our guests and delivered what we asked for. They worked hard, made lots of people very happy and were delightful to have at our event. Melody accomodated our desire to have entertainment that was first class but did not overwhelm the other simple pleasures that were offered at the party. She paid attention to what I explained ahead of time and delivered. Every event has a different flavor, and she slipped into just the right character for us. -- Anna D, Millbrook, NY, 10/14/2007
  • She and Jack looked professional and acted professional. It was tough to get people's attention--in some cases, staff members flew in from out of town, and thus, had not seen some of their co-workers in several months. Melody therefore accommodated the situation by unobtrusively drawing her caricatures in the background while people talked, then surprised them with their drawings once completed. Jack's magic tricks were great! -- Maryse L, Burlington, VT, 8/9/2007
