Show Summary: |
Self-contained, high-energy comedy
performance with juggling, balancing, music, physical comedy, and
audience participation. The show is totally captivating without
the use of: profanity, adult humor, fire, knives, chainsaws, or
live animals. Jim is not a "roving" (walk-around) performer.
Each show has a "beginning, middle and end" however, it
is possible to change locations between shows to cover more area
at large festivals. |
The Audience: |
Appropriate for all ages, appealing
to all ages. The Jim Show has been well-received at all types of
festivals, indoors and outdoors. The Jim Show goes over best with
an audience of between 50 and 500 people. Jim is an accomplished
street performer and is very adept at crowd management in all types
of locations. |
Length of Show: |
Usually 45 minutes, depending on the
audience. Available up to 60 minutes maximum. The show can be shortened
to any length or broken up into two completely different 30 minute
shows. The show can be repeated up to three times in a day. |
Space Required: |
Outdoors
- Dry, level pavement or cement measuring about 20 by 30 feet. About
the size of half of a tennis court is ideal. (Jim prefers solid
surfaces but can work on grass if the area is dry, level, and cut
short.)
Indoors (or on a covered outdoor stage) - Ceiling
height of 12 feet or more is required for a full show. (10 foot
ceiling = 40 minute show, 12 foot ceiling = 60 minute show.) Floor
space or stage measuring 20 by 30 feet. A gymnasium is a great indoor
location; high ceiling, good floor, and ample space.
(Generally speaking, the larger the space, the better the show,
however, almost any space is workable.) |
Sound System: |
For most shows, Jim uses his own battery-powered,
portable microphone and music system. If you have a PA system already
set up, Jim can plug his system into it. Jim's portable system can
handle crowds of up to 1000 people outdoors and can fill a 500 seat
theater with no problems. |
Travel Radius: |
Though based in Boston, MA, Jim can
travel anywhere by car or plane. He has performed all over Canada
and the U.S. from coast to coast. He recently performed abroad in
New Zealand. When flying, Jim needs to check two extra bags to bring
his complete, 60 minute show. |
