Will those who regularly use this routine please offer reflections on audience reaction, and specific elements of performer acting which enhance or fall flat? One certainly cannot expect a deadpan presentation to make this fly on the merits of the content alone. Jon Allen does a lovely job in the two YouTube clips available. I'd like to hear more from you who use this. What are the sticky spots, if any, and what helps give wings to the humor and fun?



Honestly, for me, it's more about the facial expressions. Remember, the cards are doing all the audio work. I find myself not having to speak much during this routine but I do find myself more on the end of the audience and reacting to the cue cards being spoken.

I agree. Lovely piece for my second B show act. Good closer. I definitely need to practice every now and then or forget the pacing.

I just did this one again tonight for an all guys, bachelor party style 40th birthday party. It was one of my middle-show routines, and It landed big time! I play off crowds and add jokes in the moment, and this routine gives you plenty of opportunities to make each performance unique. This remains one of my favorite go-to routines for adult parties.

I have only used this about six or maybe eight times. In the right situation it is a great closer for me. But I do a lot of kids shows at a resort for my bread and butter and for them it does not work as well for me.
