Come join Doug Barr on a whacky Musical romp through songs from his four Children's CDs while we - try to get those pesky Trucks off our backs - have lunch with a Cheesy-Eating Dinosaur in Doug's backyard - and - find out where Jeffrey's Talking Jacket is hiding. Children's Musical-Get Up and Dance Comedy at it's best. Doug's songs have been 'covered' by Mr. Dressup and Sharon, Lois & Bram. Best suited for children age 3-9yrs. Doug's songs & Albums available on iTunes.
Definitely for younger children (under 10) but the children loved him. Great performance and kept the children laughing and moving.
Doug's performance at our community Winter Carnival was a big hit! The crowd was mainly families with young children, and the children loved it. The booking process and communication with Doug leading up to the event was quick and easy through GigSalad. Thank you for a great performance!
Had Doug perform for my grade one’s class virtually and managed to keep their attention for nearly an hour online! That’s magical! His songs are great and so so cute and his energy is one of a kind! Made me feel like a kid all over again!
Loved him!
Response from The Doug Barr Children's Show:
thx Sophie! It was fun. Fun. Fun.
An entertainer for all ages! Doug had the children engaged for the whole show. Everyone was up on their feet dancing and singing. Cannot wait to have Doug Barr back.
Thank you Doug!
Response from The Doug Barr Children's Show:
the is a very kind review. Had a great time singing for the kids. See you next time. Doug
Doug Barr was very prepared and early. He was helpful and willing to accommodate us. We would recommend him for sure. He wasn't able to finish his set due to thunder and lightning but as the rain came down on the gazebo, he played a few songs to the children who were hiding from the storm. It was very sweet.
Thanks again Doug for driving all the way here. We wish it had gone differently with the weather, but these things happen!
Response from The Doug Barr Children's Show:
Thanks Megan. Beautiful park. Beautiful venue.
FUN songs for FUN kids.
Doug was excellent. He entertained a huge crowd at Gemmill Park, Almonte . Children participated actively at the front of the group and danced their hearts out.
We will definitely have Doug attend future events.
Thank you Doug.

Response from The Doug Barr Children's Show:
A well organized event! Fun kids! Great Pizza!
What a great kids entertainer. Great songs, great kid interaction.
Can keep the attention of the children very well. Hard to do sometimes with the age group being 1-12...
Would hire him again in a heart beat..
Doug was friendly and engaging with the children . He had fun music and songs . We would ask him again in future events to entertain the children at our local fair . Thanks so much Doug !!!

High Energy delivery of catchy and very funny children's songs. Interactivity with the children.
Doug is a 35 year veteran of the children's music genre having performed at Fairs, Festivals, Schools and Libraries across Canada bringing with him his signature whacky personality and song delivery as he delves into impossible stories with a Talking Jacket, a Cheesy-Eating Dinosaur, Tiny Trucks on your back and a Magical Mind reading song. His most oft heard, after-show remark is 'Your Funny' which of course just HAD to become the title of Doug's 4th children's CD. Available on iTunes.
Request no food present during performance.
Suggest other distractions (ex: face painting; clowns; other attractions happening at same time) be suspended during Doug's show to assist attention span of children.
