Prom•Reviewed on May 11, 2009•From Staunton, IL

Victoria did a great job when she came to our post prom. The show was at 3AM and went until 4:15Am. The kids were fasinated with her show as well as the principal of the high school. We requested that she bring up seniors and a few birthday students and she did. We sent out surveys to the students to get there opinions of what they liked and didn't like and under likes the most comments were "Hypnotist was great". I would recomend her to evereyone!!

We were extremely satisfied with Gus's performance at our Halloween Carnival. The people loved her and waited patiently for their turn at a chance to have their cards cast. I would book her again in a heartbeat!

Gus did a GREAT job. We had her perform at our Christmas party and she was definitely the icing on the cake of a very fun filled evening.

Very funny and made everyone feel comfortable, even though it was a small group and the first time we had ever done anything like this for a Christmas party. Gus made us laugh and made our celebration quite a treat. Thanks, Gus!! (and gigmasters for helping me find her).

Prom•Reviewed on April 27, 2008•From Lisbon, IA

Gus did a great job performing at our Post Prom event! My son came home from school on Monday and said the all the kids were talking about how funny they thought the show was. Her performance was clean and very professional. If the committee decides to have a hypnotist at our party next year we will invite Gus back!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 27, 2006•From Saint Louis, MO

Gus was really a nice gal to work with. She kept in touch with me by both phone and email to discuss the event including what type of people would be in the crowd. This was a client appreciation night for my high net worth customers that ranged in ages 40 to 80 years old (so it was a very mixed crowd). Gus seemed to appeal to the whole room and I have received positive feedback from many of my clients. One reason she appealed to me was she has a very clean act (which was so important since the audiance was some of my best clients). The party occured on the last night of the St Louis Cardinals world series and Gus drove over 200 miles and through the world series traffic to make our event (and amazingly got there early). We were pleased and tipped her well.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 8, 2008•From East Saint Louis, IL

My children went boocoos over GUS and her son. The event was perfect. I did not have to panic at all. She was on time and well dress the children were not afraid at all. I wanted her to take over we she arrived and that she did. My child was in shock by the tricks the clowns perform. I would refer anyone to the CLOWN GUSSS. I can't belive the party went very smooth, but with out Gus I would have went crazy. The parents was also amaze by the coloring book trick. There's not enough words the describe My baby 5th birthday party. I will always keep the clown Gus on speed dial. Thanks so much for making the party a BLAZE.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 22, 2007•From Chicago, IL

The Jane Addams Senior Caucus, Chicago, was collectively grateful for Gus entertaining our organization at our benefit luncheon. While many of our members speak English as a second language, I noticed that they seemed to enjoy Gus's performance. Having read a poem on Gus's website, I think that she achieved the goals of cheering us, making us happy and laugh, and helping us to forget, if only momentarily, our many struggles, both as older individuals and as an organization striving to achieve a more just society for seniors. We are thankful that Gus was able to fill in at the last minute, since our originally scheduled musical entertainment unexpectedly cancelled, with very short notice. Gus was as delightful in person as she was on the phone and in her emails. We wish to express, once again, our heartfelt THANK YOU, GUS!

Christening•Reviewed on May 20, 2008•From Medford, WI

Gus was very friendly and her comedy act was enjoyed by all. Communications with her prior to show were prompt and all questions were answered. This was our first time holding this type of banquet and would hire her again if we ever do one again.

Gus was a very easy person to work with. She was very prompt in cummunication and performed for us at a last minutes notice. We really appreciate that. If your looking for a clean act Gus is it.

Community Event•Reviewed on July 14, 2007•From Wyanet, IL

I found Gus very friendly and accommodating. She gave a very good performance but it was not a good match with the audience we had that evening. I would not hesitate to rehire her for another event, knowing the contents of her act. The "script" was "clean" but the dry humor was not a hit with our "older crowd". Do not take this as a negative response to her talent.

Club Event•Reviewed on July 7, 2007•From Olney, IL

Gus was friendly and easy to work with. Her performance was alright. She did make a political statement, which did not go over with a crowd of the opposite party. At other times, she acted like we were not up with the current events or may not watch CNN here, like small town people were not as bright. On the positive side, she did communicate with me and incorporate some of what I sent into this 50th birthday roast. She was also prompt.

Gus is a very delightful person who has to be commended for traveling the distance she did to keep her commitment & perform for us (there was a snow storm advisory out for that evening). However, as a performer...I just don't think our group & Gus "connected". I had a few people ask me if she was drunk (I told them I didn't think so) while a few others simply commented on how often she lifted her cup o' whatever she had brought on "stage" with her. Most of the laughter came from how NOT funny she was (sort of "OMG, I don't believe how bad this is" ). Like I said, though. Very nice woman, it's nothing personal, I just don't think I'd would recommend or rehire her.

I was NOT drunk. I don't EVER drink before I perform. I had WATER in my cup! It's strange that quite a few people came up and said they enjoyed the show. I really resent someone suggesting I was "drunk". The audience was certainly in the bag, but not me. I drove through an ice storm to get there. I taped the show and have watched it several times and the audience, drunk as they were, laughed, really laughed not just "OMG". Oh well. Some people just can't be pleased no matter what! Thanks for your comment. Although it wasn't thoughtful or very nice.
