The magic of the holiday season came alive with Kevin as Santa! I could go on and on, but he was the real deal! I believe!
Santa Claus
Response from Kevin Driscoll & Friends:
John, thank you! It was an honor to be your real bearded Santa for WSANA (Worcester Square Area Neighborhood Association). The ride on the firetruck to the Worcester Square location was awesome and your help in getting me back to my car at the fire station was sincerely appreciated. The crowd was amazing and pictures with the families and their pets was so much FUN. Again, thank you!
It was quite a fun & entertaining time! Great for people of all ages!

Colleen, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Kevin was incredible. Professional, humorous, and insightful, he arrived early, set up, and started readings. His sense of humor put everyone at ease and we all felt he really nailed the readings.

Response from Kevin Driscoll & Friends:
Shyla, thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you. Sorry for the delayed response... just seeing this now. Last night I wore my red suit as their Psychic Santa for the Harvard University event.
Santa did a wonderful visit with us. He was on time and called ahead to make sure he understood the family names. He was very easy to work with and was invested in getting it right and he did with flying colors. I had made a list and Santa delivered inside family jokes without a hitch. (Ex. My sister loves to rake and he asked her if she wanted a new rake.) He was great with the kids. He asked the kids quite a few times if the needed to add anything to the list. His jokes and ventriloquist skills often targeted older people. The kids did not get them but we laughed at them. Some were corny. We sang some songs which everyone liked. He was the hit of the party.

Comedy Show, Ventriloquist
Kevin Driscoll and his little friends were very entertaining. Our religious organization was so happy that Kevin's act was clean and appealed to everyone. All the children loved to interact and pet the Doug the Talking Dog. "He only bites Mommies and Daddies". Thank you, Kevin!

Kevin Driscoll and his puppets were the perfect addition to our event. Everyone raved about his show. I would highly recommend him.
Ventriloquist
Wow, what a great show last nite May 2 at the Amazing Open Comedy Mique Show. THANKS TO OUR MIQUERS, Kevin Driscoll and his MANY frIends AND OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS, we had another amazing Open Comedy Mique Show.This again showed why we are the most unique comedy show anywhere.
Who knew when a ventriloquist promised a few "Friends" that they would be not only about 5 wooden characters, but about 20 very live real people with incredible musical talent. And about 60 audience members too. The Comedy Mique has had past connections with the folk Mike and Cabaret Mic, but thanks Kevin's inclusion of Ted Knowlton, Dave Morin and others, we now connected to the Jazz Jam too. Yes it's all AMAZING!! The birthday tribute by Kevin's group to our amazing video guy Frank DiPace was wonderful. Thanks to Frank, we can see some of our our shows on Access Framingham TV and if you are out of town, some are on-line at their web site http://webvideo.accessfram.tv/
