"Kipley did the birthday party puppet show and I thought it was worthwhile to mention how great he is. His show was so, so funny and our mixed-age group of kids all loved him. He kept a group of kids – all under the age of 8 – completely mesmerized for 45 minutes. We all know how amazing that is, right?"
Ellen DiMeglio, Hoboken, NJ

"I had my daughter's 5th birthday party on 3/5. Mr. Kipley was awesome! The children were completely captivated by My. Kipley and his puppets. The show was so good that parents were even laughing and taking part in the show. I had a couple that was so blown away by his performance that they took his contact information before he left and called me later that evening to ask me all about him. I would definitely hire Mr. Kipley again; he helped make my daughter's 5th birthday a day to remember. R.Audain"

"Yesterday we had our son's 4th birthday party with thirteen kids. We hired Kipley Wentz (aka Mr. Kipley) to do a puppet/music show, and he was FANTASTIC! He kept all the kids mesmerized and laughing for a full 45 minutes, and he peppered his act with little inside jokes for the grownups. He's a real professional--talented, fantastic with little kids and easy to work with, and his price is very reasonable for the quality of entertainment. " Susan Baer, Hoboken

"I could not have been MORE THRILLED with the show you did... A number of parents commented how much THEY had enjoyed the show. It was so incredibly entertaining and I was so happy to see the kids 100% engaged throughout the whole show. The sound of laughter was lovely to hear. [My son] had an absolute blast!" Sally Robertson, Hoboken

"AMAZING! The staff thought you did an AMAZING JOB... they could hardly contain their enthusiasm still today! I can't thank you enough." Zabrina Stoffel, HOPES Head Start Organizer, NJ

"Our daughter had such a fabulous time, as did all the kids. We couldn't have had such a great party without you! We have already recommended you to a few friends and will keep you in mind for future 'gigs'! Kim Atwater-Moses, NYC

"Thank you so much! You were wonderful! The kids really enjoyed the show! I was told that some of the kids were talking about it for days!" Alyse Heilpern, Livingston, NJ

• Mister Kipley performed his puppet show at my daughter Elizabeth's birthday party at her preschool. She just turned five and adores puppets. Mister Kipley was a huge hit. The puppets were great - not only from an appearance standpoint, but also with their distinct personalities - a great mix of fairy tale elements with lots of animals thrown in to engage everyone. All the kids loved his show. He was extremely professional, accomodating and good with children. My son, who is 2.5 y.o., also attended the show and loved his act too. After the show, Mister Kipley made balloon animals for all the kids. -- Chris Yau, Fresh Meadows, NY, 6/12/2011
• Was very entertaining and sang many songs that my 2 year old daughters recognized. Held their interest and it was very interactive allowing the kids to be a part of the show. Great job! -- Lynn Weimer, Ridgefield, NJ, 8/9/2011
