Mark Merchant

Mark is not only a great performer . He is professional . Prompt , friendly and a joy to work with

We recently had Mark Merchant, as our entertainment to perform at our 3rd Annual Christmas Party. Mark & his friends were Perfect! He kept the room laughing with his clean but clever jokes. He was a Great addition to our party that evening. Joe Diego & Zelda Rose were a Blast!! We would recommend Mark & his friends for any type of gathering that you are planning!!

Mark was a hit with our Senior Adults. Funny and CLEAN JOKES for a Christian audience. Asked him to share his testimony of being a believer, which he did and did quite well.
THANKS Mark, great show and great time of laughter and fellowship!

Mark Merchant and Co. was the best show that I have see for a school function. There were 100 people in attendance and I have not heard so much laughter in one place as I witnessed that evening. The puppets were excellent props for the show. Mark was hilariously funny! Everyone loved him! As has been said, "A merry heart does good like a medicine", and everyone got a good dosage that December 2015 evening. I highly recommend Mark for any function.

Mark recently performed for our law firm's annual partner retreat. In order to personalize the show for our attorneys, Mark requested some anecdotal and background info about our group. He did a marvelous job of integrating the tidbits into his performance, leaving our people busting out with laughter. Not only is Mark a very talented performer, but he was also a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

After seeing Ventriloquist Mark Merchant perform at the Civitan International Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, in July 2015, I booked him to perform at the Georgia Civitan District Convention on August 28, 2015, at the King & Prince Beach & Golf Resort, on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Mark is the best ventriloquist I have ever seen and everyone in attendance agreed. You never see his mouth move and I was sitting right up front. We all loved his characters: Jose Diego Jones, Zelda Rose, Alonzo Jackson, Wing Tip Shu, and Rev. Wonderful, aka. Pastor Joel Osteen. I provided him with some information about some of our well known Civitans in the Georgia District that he worked into his show. He was so hilarious and kept everyone laughing throughout his performance. He received a well deserved standing ovation. Mark is very professional and his performance is clean, which we all appreciated. We all loved him! I am so very happy that I was able to book him for this event. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

I hired Mark Merchant to perform at a private party in my home to celebrate my husband's retirement. He was easy to work with, professional and accommodating. Unlike other performers I have invited to my home, Mark was comfortable working without a stage and his performance was engaging and funny. His joke material was timely and audience appropriate as he poked fun at all segments of the population. He personalized the show with details I had given him and had all the guests laughing. Mark provides unique entertainment and will make your event very special.

Mark provided the entertainment for our annual Christmas party. Mark is extremely talented! He and his friends kept us in laughter all during the show. He was able to use some of our employees names and interest to custom tailor some of his jokes. Everyone said his show was a great. I would highly recommend hiring Mark to do your next event!

I have just got back to the UK from a cruise and I was fortunate to see this man, he was that Funny, my wife laughs at nothing but she was in stiches, just superb. Many thanks. We also spoke to him after the event which was fortunate and he was very polite and gave us time.

We booked Mark Merchant twice now for our annual Christmas Party and it was very enjoyable! He had new material each time we saw him that was very funny and entertaining. Our employees bring their families and Mark's comedy is suitable for all ages.

Mark performed at my surprise 40th birthday party planned by my wife. I am a huge Jeff Dunham fan, and now, I am an equally big Mark Merchant fan. He is funny, witty, and can improvise as needed given the audience. His characters were hilarious and his act with our 9 yr old daughter was awesome. We had a memorable evening and will surely be looking for other opportunities to get Mark involved in future.

I had the pleasure of seeing Mark last month. I wasn't sure what to expect because I've never seen a ventriloquist live...He was Great!!!! He and his cast of characters kept me in stiches, and he is so good, I forgot that he was the only one talking!!! Another thing that impressed me was his ability to remember people's names and conversations that he had before the show. He puts them in his act, and that makes it so personable!!!! Mark is an extremely talented man, I hope to see him again real soon!!!

Mark Merchant was the best entertainment ever at the Aerie 714. He and his friends kept the audience in laughter throughout the show without any lulls...The audience did not want it to end and showed how much they enjoyed him with a standing ovation with cheers and hard clapping! Mark made this event so successful for the Jimmy Durante Abused Children's fund with raising over two thousand dollars! Mark's talents are without a doubt the best ever and his ability to adapt to the audience was just amazing! I strongly encourage anyone wanting a successful event to hire Mark Merchant and his friends....Mark is also a man of his word; Mark was offered a gig to go to Tahiti of course for much more than we were paying but because he gave his word, he stayed with our event! Thank you Mark and Friends! You Rock!

On Thursday April 24, I happened to see at show at the Smoky Mountain Opry in Pigeon Forge, TN. The Oakwoods were the stars of the show, but as an added benefit four ventriloquists appeared. All were good, but Mark Merchant was a stand-out! He appeared with an American Eagle puppet with a slight secret and just got laugh after laugh for his six minutes on stage.How Mark drank a glass of wine while the puppet sang was amazing.
Hope to see this performer again and book him for my company party. His salute to this father a world war 2 vet in the audience was sincere and showed the first class nature of Mark Merchant.

The Decatur Civic Chorus booked Mark Merchant for his comedy ventriloquist show for our Christmas party and he was sensational! Multiple laughs on many subjects and his ability to personalize the show was terrific. It was current, clean and clever. Look forward to another event with Mark Merchant.

We scheduled Mark as one of our four entertainers in our annual series. We have been doing our entertainment series for five years now and Mark is easily one of our top acts. He worked well with the crowd and put on a super show that was suitable even for the kids in the crowd. He is so talented at his trade and weaves current events and all kinds of trivia into his act. He also pulled in members of the audience and had the full house sitting on the edge of their seats. He was very personable and we will definitely look forward to our next opportunity to invite him back!

We booked Mark for our annual Blue and Gold Cub Scout banquet. The show went off as a great success. For most of the boys and many of the parents this was the first ventriloquist show they have seen and it will be hard for other performers to follow up. I was very happy with his ability to tailor the show to a younger audience. As can be expected, it is a special challenge to keep a large group of young kids in check, but Mark was able to maintain control of the audience and had the kids laughing and anxious to see what was going to come next. We were very please and would recommend Mark for all age groups.

Mark performed at our at our evening dinner club for Park Place in Johns Creek GA. Mark's show was cleaver and clean and appealed to everyone. We never stopped laughing and are still talking about it. One of our favorites was when he got Jim up in front with a big pair of lips and Mark supplied the words. Jim loved it and we did too.

Highly recommend!! You will be glad you did as we are.

I had the most thrilling "crack-up" experience on two cruises to be entertained by Mark Merchant and his little group of sarcastic puppets. We were excited again to have him come out all the way to California to entertain us in San Francisco at a week-end event for 100 of our top agents. He is beyond comparison. Thank you.

As part of our "Carnival Week", Mark came out to entertain our campers ages 5 - 12. Most of the comedy was easily understood by the campers. A little was clearly directed toward the counselors such as some political references. All in all, everyone clearly enjoyed the show. We will look forward to having him back again in the future.

We saw him on our cruise to Panama in Oct. he did the best show I have seen and many years had everyone laughing so hard I think he is hard to beat

I tried to hire Mark for a Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet but Mark had a scheduling conflict and could not make our date. He felt so bad that he put us in touch with another performer and even made a contribution to the pack! He was more than professional.

I wish that our schedules had worked out because I'm sure that he would have been a hit with the boys given his ties to scouting.

Mark was very good to work with he help me keep it a surprise by acking like he was my uncle.That way all the employees had no idea what was going on and they just love it when did his act. He was well prepaired and was very professional. i would used him again and again.

We booked Mark Merchant for our annual client holiday party and he was a resounding hit with our clients! We had numerous rave reviews from smiling faces after his performance. We have done client events for many years and this was the most entertaining performance we've had yet! Mr. Merchant even had the names of some of the clients in attendance and their interests and wove them into the show. Best of all, we had adults as well as kids in the audience and he managed to bring a hilarious performance that delighted both groups - an amazing feat. I would highly recommend Mr. Merchant and his wacky, zany group of friends to anyone and everyone.
