Reception Entertainers

Zany Waiters, Interactive Physical Comedy

The Zany Waiters will make your event something special and unique!  During your social hour, reception, or dinner event, our experienced entertainers initially appear to blend in with the wait staff. Of course, they don’t act like any ordinary waiters.  As the event progresses, their wacky interactive antics will slowly start to turn heads and the laughter will spread as your guests are entertained on a table-by-table basis. The true skill in their hilarious presentation is how well the Zany Waiters serve up laughs while remaining respectful of the dining experience. When the comic imposters are finally revealed, the whole audience is in on the joke and will be talking about this unique entertainment experience for days.

Scott Novotny, Stand-up Comedy

Scott Novotny loves delighting audiences with his show – an act laced with characters, songs, jokes, dancing, props, improvisation, and physical comedy.  After his shows, Scott loves to hear how much his audience appreciated his clean material, and how they can’t remember when they laughed that hard.  He also loves to think of his show as “a happening.”  Scott is often compared to comedy legends Red Skelton and Robin Williams, and his goal in life is to have someone come up to Robin Williams and say, “Hey, you remind me of Scott Novotny!”

Laura Goodrich, Internationally Recognized Speaker

Laura Goodrich is an internationally recognized expert in the field of workplace dynamics and relationships.  Having been gifted with a powerfully charming presence, she is an expert speaker and communicator speaking at national and international events. Laura has the capability to remarkably inspire others through her motivating and invigorating words. Her proactive approach is compelling, influential, and inspirational at the same time. She’s undeniably one of the best and most effective speakers of the day.

Keri Noble, Piano-driven Singer/Songwriter

Keri Noble is a piano-driven singer/songwriter as well as a Minneapolis Cities 97 radio personality whose passion and penchant for living life on her own terms radiates from her music and radio persona.  Keri’s show showcases her heartfelt original music.  Her disarming honesty, humor and wit engages the audience and takes them along on a musical journey of emotions that they share together.  The experience is interactive with Keri and the audience enjoying a repartee and bonding through the experience.

SongBlast!, Interactive Music/Dueling Guitars

What’s better than 2 dueling pianos?  2 interactive dueling guitars delivering a fun, non-offensive stream of endless songs from yesterday and today.  Pat Balder and Glen Everhart bring their consummate stage professionalism and high-energy performance to blast your event out of the park!  This act is a great fit for corporate parties, private events, fairs/festivals and more.  You bring your requests…and SongBlast will bring the party.

Mary Mack, Stand-up Comedy

Her endearing, slightly quirky stage presence and off-kilter musical surprises are drawn from Mary Mack’s background as a former music teacher (and polka band leader) and make her popular with a wide variety of audiences.  Mary’s mandolin sing-alongs have been featured on the nationally syndicated “The Bob and Tom Show” on radio and XM’s National Lampoon’s Comedy Network.  Mary had her national TV debut on Comedy Central’s “Life at Gotham” and NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” and now splits her time between Los Angeles and Minneapolis, sharing her totally fun and unique brand of stand-up comedy.

Laura Ernst, Juggling/Aerialist/Variety

You’ve never seen a show like this before – guaranteed.  Audiences will laugh, gasp and cheer as Laura’s unique high-energy show captivates and gives them memories that will last long after your event.  From beginning to end this show is unique, using new props and crazy skills.  As seen on national television, Laura Ernst gets the show rolling inside her human-sized hamster ball and keeps the energy pumping with amazing skill through juggling, hula hooping, aerial fabric and more!

LEGACY Live!, A Tribute to the King of Pop

LEGACY has been described as the epitome of what a Michael Jackson tribute show should look like and embodies the live, onstage work of the King of Pop featuring MJ impersonator LC Jackson. LEGACY will keep you on the edge of your seat (or on your toes for that matter) as you’re taken through a spectacular journey encompassing Jackson’s forever classics such as Beat It, Smooth Criminal, Black or White, Billie Jean, Thriller and more!!  What makes LEGACY special is its ability to entertain across a wide demographic range; both, kids and adults alike have raved about this incredible show. LC Jackson understands the onstage work and persona of the King of Pop making LEGACY a unique entertainment option.
