Planke the Pirate, and Dr. Whodathunkit, the Crazy Scientist. for all ages. Mr. SONshine is everything a children's entertainer should be, He's colorful, he's silly, he's funny, he's entertaining, and he is versatile. But Mr. SONshine is better than all of that. Because he does not wear clown makeup he is less intimidating to the really young, and less condescending to the preteen crowd. The illusions he performs and the patter that he speaks are customized to reach a large age range of children. His show is ideal for kids from four to twelve years old, but really he appeals to a much wider age range. His show is filled with humor and crazy antics. Live animals, puppets, and magical stories are all part of the SONshine Entertainment experience. In Mr. SONshine's show, you may see a miniature "Lion", a Parrot, Doves, a Rabbit or even a tiny Dog. Puppets may show up like a Skunk, a Possum, or Bandit, the mind-reading raccoon. Mr. SONshine performs at churches, birthday parties, retirement and nursing homes, and many other venues.
