Andrew has been performing for many years at places too numerous to mention. Here are some of the wonderful testimonies of Andrew's professional services: Entertainment References:
“The juggling was absolutely amazing, and the lively comic routines were HYSTERICAL!” –James Shermer, Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute “I wasn’t in any state to go watch Andrew’s show but I laughed so hard my mood quickly disappeared. In fact, I fell on the ground laughing uncontrollably! All of my stress just melted away. Now I know what is meant by the term humor therapy.” –Terry Maurel, Escondido, CA
“Andrew was extremely
well received by an audience of all ages… His act was fresh and funny
... we would not hesitate to bring Andrew back to our event. We HIGHLY
RECOMMEND HIM to any organization seeking a spontaneous, creative,
multi-talented, family-oriented entertainer.”
–Sue Dusharme, Programs
Coordinator, Downtown
“Thank you for a DELIGHTFUL PERFORMANCE at the 6th Annual “KIDFEST!” children’s festival. …With the special talents of performers like yourself… we were able to reach so many of our community’s youth, and provide educational and stimulating artistic opportunities through this popular event.” –Maureen Kellick, Program Director, Niagara Council of the Arts “Your humor and skill
blended perfectly. It was EXACTLY THE TOUCH WE NEEDED to close the
retreat on a happy note.”
–Ray & Mary Ruth Bartholomew, The Salvation
Army "We were delighted to have you come and share with the Council of Bishops. The council is very diverse and YOU REACHED EVERYONE ... The humor was delightful and greatly enjoyed by all" –Bishop Hae-Jong Kim, United Methodist Church Council of Bishops “Don’t know him. Never heard of him. You can’t prove anything.” –Andrew’s Parents
Unsolicited Letter after a "Possibilities" Show: "You are a talented juggler and performer. You engage the audience quite well and keep a nice flow to your show. Both adults and children were laughing often, a testament to your professionalism and preparation. As an elementary school teacher, I was very impressed with the 'message behind your madness,' if you will. Since your show, my wife (also a teacher) and I have been reinforcing your message with our two boys: positive Attitude, try your Best, have Courage, and remember that everyone has Value. This is such a fantastically simple yet meaningful framework for parents, teachers, and children to use! During our current baseball season, for instance, some unkind words have been heard on the field. Having your ABCs has helped to keep our boys focused on keeping a positive Attitude and trying their Best. Our family is grateful to you! Thank you again for your thoughtful presentation and for influencing my family so positively! Sincerely, Bruce Melhorn, Elementary School Teacher, Valley Center, CA" *************************** From Teachers at Grant Middle School, Escondido, CA:
"We had a
great time! The kids really enjoyed it and it was a great experience
for them. Very positive message." "We were spell bound! It was wonderful... not just the juggling... but watching the kids and seeing how attentive they were... how involved they were! Great message! Very impressed!" "The kids were completely rapt and "into" it! ... so were the teachers! It was wonderful!" From the Director of The Boys and Girls Club, Escondido, CA: "You are so good! You have 'it!' You have what it takes. For 8th graders to pay attention, you 'have it goin' on!'"
*************************** ...EVEN MORE RAVE REVIEWS... “Has a wonderful rapport with [his] audience and [was] thoroughly enjoyed by students and staff. The children could not take their eyes off from [him] and the laughter was a joy to hear. Everyone was fascinated with the juggling, unicycling, and clowning.” –Karen Lee Sutton, Principal, Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School, Amsterdam, NY “…A wonderful complement to our regular program. Andrew’s creativity, and his ability to relate to children of all ages, are outstanding. He has a gift for capturing the interest of children and involving them in his performances. Andrew clearly enjoys both teaching and performing, and using these talents to enhance the lives of others.” –Thomas Hall, Director, Casowasco Conference Center, Moravia, NY

The girls that attended your workshops and performances had an excellent time and, because of the expertise you shared, gained a valuable learning experience.” –Lynn Begue, Executive Director, Penn Lakes Girl Scout Council
“Year after year, your juggling Playshops
remain one of the most popular attractions of the Youth Rally. Your show
is always fresh, always funny, always full of new twists that I have not
seen before, a real delight.”
