This was my first time hiring a party entertainer so I didn't know what to expect. I conducted a lot of research and only found favorable reviews on Doodad. I was looking for some kind of party entertainment for children of various ages. Doodad was the perfect choice for a birthday party for my daughters who turned 4 and 7. There were kids there from ages 2 to 9 and a mix of boys and girls. Doodad was very engaging and was great with the kids. Many of the parents were just as if not more entertained than the kids. My oldest commented that she lost her voice because she was laughing so hard. The humor was appropriate for kids, but also fun for the adults. Doodad has a variety of packages to work with your budget. He made my children's birthday extra special and it will be a memorable experience for them. They both said that their favorite part of their birthday party was Doodad and are still talking about his magic tricks as well as his antics. He included other children in the show as well as the birthday girls. My kids loved their birthday surprises from the magician and the balloons that he created were great. Would I hire Doodad again? Of course and we look forward to having him back at future events. He has great customer service skills, quick response time, and is very thorough.
