We had a birthday party with 6 one year olds crawling around! Markus did a wonderful job with keeping them engaged. He was very professional, showed up early, and was warm and friendly. Highly recommend!!
The children at our Preschool really enjoyed Mr. Markus and his Puppets! They were engaged the whole show and laughed and sang along to many familiar songs!
Thanks Mr. Markus for a fun morning!!!!

Thank you so much Rajiv. Your family's hospitality and energy were A1! Please do not hesitate to call us in the future.
He showed up with plenty of time to set up before our event began, he started on time, and entertained the kids the whole time. He had a fun mix of songs from the classic childhood songs to some fun ones I hadn't heard before, and got the parents involved too.

It was fun and kids were really entertained. Adults enjoyed it too that was evidenced by the laughter in the room.
Response from The Party Puppet Show / Mr. Markus Music Show:
Aw, thanks so much for your kind words. Your hospitality made performing that much easier. Please do not hesitate to call us in the future for events.
Markus was very professional and accommodating. Communicated very well and was flexible with all our requests. The kids and adults all loved the show. The puppets were hilarious.
Markus was funny and great in improvising when needed. There are kids and drunks at the party that would interrupt the show but he always made the interruption fun. He was a great entertainment! I would recommend you hire him for your party. A nice touch to any party.
Markus was very professional, arrived early and did his thing flawlessly. I was not able to watch the show bec I was busg but everyone in the party loved it. They said he was funny and interactive and the kids enjoyed it so much.
He was amazing!!! Arrived early and was extremely professional. The kids and parents loved the show and he even did jokes right there on the spot. Don’t mess around looking for someone else.. Lots of wonderful puppets and great act. I hope to use him again for future events!
The scouts enjoy the performance. The puppeteer had some good jokes and music. Only suggestion would be to include more live/zoom puppet action. Whiskers the puppet was the only puppet that came on live in the zoom. All other puppet stars were video clips of performances.
I was worried about how to entertain a group of six year olds on a Zoom meeting. This puppet show was awesome and kept the kids engaged (and even the parents!) highly recommend.
Response from The Party Puppet Show / Mr. Markus Music Show:
Thanks so much Leah!! I'm glad we could help out. Call us anytime, and tell a friend. :)
I really can't describe solely with words just how much we loved the show Markus performed for the children and parents at our daughter's 5th birthday party. I include the parents because there was not one that wasn't laughing out loud. Truly Markus is very gifted but what struck me most amazingly was not just his patience and understanding, but the fact that he can modify his performance seamlessly should something occur that interrupts his performance (the kids were trying to force feed the puppets as they rushed the stage & other little surprises). His educational background and teaching history just make him a perfect fit for the littles as nothing seemed to ruffle him and I was so impressed with his professionalism and caring nature. I was a ball of anxiety and stress and he even took the time to give my husband and I words of encouragement to help my husband bring me down a few notches. The funny thing is I don't even think Markus knows he has this effect on his clients or that he's aware that he says just the right thing at the right time. He worked with us and any accommodation we had and gave an outstanding performance. All the parents were so impressed and so many came up to us to ask us where we had found Markus and his awesome puppets. they could not say enough and the kids just fell in love with each and every character he performed. My daughter is still humming the Harry Belafonte Banana Boat song this morning. If you want a successful party for your littles, book Markus. you won't be sorry.
Response from The Party Puppet Show / Mr. Markus Music Show:
Guys thanks again. It was my pleasure!!
Markus is professional and friendly in addition to putting a satisfying, crowd pleasing show. We hired him for our daughter's first birthday party and she was so excited to see the different puppets and effects (yes. Some of the puppets have practical special effects). Cool show. Highly recommend.
Response from The Party Puppet Show / Mr. Markus Music Show:

Response from The Party Puppet Show / Mr. Markus Music Show:
