We really wanted a top shelf, Las Vegas worthy show and BRIAN DELIVERED!! Brain performed in front of 200
people and every single one of them commented on his expertise and showmanship. His performance gave our event the Celebrity Touch!! If you are considering a celebrity performer for your special event, we highly recommend Brian. You and your guests will experience a performance sure to be remembered!!
We give Brian FIVE STARS!!!
Brian is easy to work with and he interacted with the audience but the performance seemed disjointed and his juggling bits were not long. He also passed out his picture to be autographed if kids wanted it and I found that a bit tacky.
Brain is top notch! Arrived early and prepared for an amazing show! Although scorching Hot and performing in direct sunlight Brian never skipped a beat. After the show Brian even stuck around and handed out gifts and autographed pictures to the kids and adults. I can't say enough good things about him or this show. BOOK HIM! You won't regret it!
Breeze made it difficult for him to perform outside.
2nd time I've booked Brian and the shoppers love watching his show.
On time, engages the audience is get for all ages.
The kids loved him and his high energy
We loved the entire show from beginning to end. Very unique acts that we’ve never seen with very good professionalism.
Response from Brian Pankey Celebrity Entertainer:
Thank you so much. I had a great time performing for your son's birthday & meeting your family.
Great show! I know the rain three him off a little but he still pushed through and the kids had a good time.
This is by far the best juggler my company has hired. He did so much audience driven stuff and worked around our schedule with zero hassles!
Brian performed for us in November 2021 and was spectacular! He is very talented and was very professional. Our guests LOVED the performance and he really added extra fun to our event. Loved Brian and if we have the opportunity to book again for an event we will definitely ask Brian!
Brian was prompt, fun and energetic! The consummate professional.
We were happy Brian was able to perform in our parade, he did a great job.
Brain did an amazing job at our village's Movie Night. It was great that he included audience members in his performance, especially the kids. He was on time, very professional, incredibly nice, and put on a great show. Thank you Brian!
Oh my god! Brian, your show was so much fun! All the kids loved it and the adults had a blast too. We are dumbfounded that you're able to do so many feats of skill! Balancing, juggling.. even magic tricks!? All I can say is that we will definitely invite you back. And all this is coming from a fellow performer. I have a mentalism show, myself and I'm not easily impressed, but your show was something else! For sure, you deserve all of the fans and praise that you've accumulated in your carreer.
Wish you the best, and we'll see you again hopefully soon!

Response from Brian Pankey Celebrity Entertainer:
Thanks Mr. Vuylsteke. I had a great time performing for all of your wonderful friends and family. Have a great summer!
Brian was very entertaining and put on a great show.
Response from Brian Pankey Celebrity Entertainer:
Thank you Mr. Collins. I met a lot of nice people at your party. Thanks for the hospitality. I had a great time performing for everyone. It was fun!
He put on an interesting show. Everybody was definitely entertained. My only advice for the future would be to adapt to the audience. Such as slowing your speech patterns down for the elderly
He is great for kids and adults all had so much fun
Brian,
Was prompt, professional and fun! He engaged with the audience and provided a high energy show.
Response from Brian Pankey Celebrity Entertainer:
Thank you Pastor Waddell. I had a terrific time yesterday evening meeting & performing for a lovely great group of people. Thank you again for letting me be part of your celebration
My wife hired Brian for our son's birthday party. I really enjoyed the show. I liked his card tricks the best.
