Feedback

  • Bob is talented and puts on a great show. The thing that sets him apart is that he is a genuinely nice person who cares about the people he is entertaining. His show is a lot of fun wihtout crossing the line. -- Pat B, Cornwall, NY, 7/8/2006
  • Bob James was awesome. It was the best spent money for the entire party. The women loved him and the men danced too. Would recommend and use him again for the next party! Thanks for a great job! -- Matthew P, Tonawanda, NY, 10/21/2005
  • Totally awesome, more than I could have hoped for. My ten year old son will remember this "Elvis" for the rest of his life. Bob catered to the class and every stray teacher that came our way. He sang, danced, signed autographs and posed for pictures. It was such an amazing day for my son. We can't wait for him to come to a show near us, we will be buying the first tickets!! -- Melissa I, Holley, NY, 6/4/2005
