Thank you for the kind words! I very much appreciate the feedback and had a great time with your group!
We hired Bruce as entertainment for our elementary school end of year party. We could not have been happier with his show. He did 3 back to back 45 minute shows for us and the last show had just as much energy and enthusiasm as the first. The kids were amazed by his juggling tricks and the adults enjoyed the performance as well. There were lots of laughs and applause. He showed up early, did all his own set up and was professional and great to work with. If you are looking for great entertainment, I can’t recommend Bruce enough!

Thanks! I had a great time at your event!!!
Bruce communicated well after booking the event and days before the event. He showed up when on time and noted that it was too windy outside that day, so he quickly assessed the areas inside the home to perform his comedy juggling routine. Bruce set up his equipment efficiently and was patient as we gathered all the kids to find a place to watch the show. He performed for about 40 minutes and had all the kids and adults focused and engaged in his performance. There was a lot of energy, and all the feedback afterward was that everyone enjoyed "The Juggler." Great job, Bruce! We highly recommend him for your event.
We really enjoyed Bruce’s show. It was spectacular for our 8yo girl’s 1st communion party. His jokes were perfect for adults too!

Bruce’s performance is appropriate for all ages. I hired him for my brother’s 60th birthday party and everyone loved him. He was very organized and sets up all his equipment seamlessly, I didn’t have to do a thing as I was busy tending to my guests. I highly recommend him!

Thanks! I had a great time and enjoyed the evening!!
We were so happy we brought Bruce on to entertain at our event! Bruce spent a full school day at our elementary school for our "Greatest Showman" themed winter celebrations where he did a series of 30-minute comedic juggling shows throughout the day. Prior to the event, I appreciate that he was extremely thorough and was so good at following up. He arrived very early, and his show was fun! He brought volunteers up to the stage and kept the kids really engaged. He was very professional and self-sufficient. Would absolutely recommend!

Bruce was great! We had Girl Scouts ages 5-99 and everyone was entertained. We had to cancel the original date due to weather and Bruce worked with us to reschedule the performance with super short notice!

We invited Bruce to perform at our Blue & Gold Banquet. He was easy to communicate with, very well prepared, came almost 25 minutes earlier than the scheduled time to setup the stage all by himself. It was a a blast! The kids and parents had lots of fun watching his performance. He also asked kid step up to the stage to make the show more interactive. We all enjoyed the show! Thank you very much for making the event a success!

Thank you very much! I had a great time at your event and hope we can do it again soon!
Bruce Manners exceeded all our expectations, starting with being ahead of time arriving on site, he brought all his equipment with him, and didn't require us to provide anything at all from our side, which was very helpful especially when organizing a big event like our Carnival.
Now the show was just AMAZING. He was funny, entertaining, very skilled with his juggling. He kept the audience at the edge of their seats all the time. I personally loved the fire juggling, and the swords, but mostly his sense of humor while performing all of his acts was just hilarious.
I would definitely recommend Bruce at any family event. Our event audience was a mix of all age groups.

Bruce was everything you could hope for and then some. This guy is the real deal! From the moment the guy walked in he had the entire crowd mesmerized.
It was the strangest thing the kiddos were hypnotized and laughing the parents were thrilled and clapping. Could not have gone better.
Best news the bride absolutely (stunning might i add) stunned and had nothing but phenominal things to say.
No other way to go. Best bang for your buck by far.
