He has done his show in countless -- and often colorful -- venues throughout the country. He has performed on huge historical vaudeville stages, in school auditoriums, at private homes, on boats, restaurants, at fairs and festivals -- also in the back of a pickup truck and in a Pig Barn Arena in Texas.

His shows are PROVEN LAUGHTER-GETTERS, whether he's doing a customized show at a big corporate event, or performing at a picnic, fair, festival, in a variety show, a school assembly, private adult or children's party. He performs from coast-to-coast doing approximately 400 shows across the country each year

Joe does lots of private parties for adults -- adult birthday, surprise and retirement parties, weddings, etc. -- plus adult groups such as the Elks. Each show features a BIG cast characters, BIG laughs, audience interaction, and music (sometimes a song parody) all done in his quick-paced comedy style. Comedy bits, characters and individual jokes are always changing so the show is never exactly the same from one year to the next.

In adult party shows (for individuals and organizations), Joe s clients can get his highly-popular basic customization. Joe will pepper the show with hilarious inside jokes at no extra expense. Shows also contain his famous ventriloquism lip sync where hapless volunteers donning crazy wigs lip sync a rock oldie, using voices "thrown" by Joe (it closes the show because it can t be topped with adult crowds!). He also does a few minutes of standup comedy (with the emphasis on topical jokes) without his "wooden friends" at either the beginning or end of the show.

Joe is also available to "roast" of special guests of honor or be evening s emcee. The results: guaranteed LAUGHS!

When Joe does walk-around or strolling ventriloquism at adult private parties, he "switches off" on his state-of-the-art dummies and puppets, using several characters -- each with its own distinctive personality and comedy schtick -- over the party s slated time. The diversity, individuality, and comedic strength of these painstakingly-developed, zany characters spark laughter each time Joe suddenly appears with another. Joe sometimes inserts running gags -- and can even approach a targeted guest with a host-provided inside joke zinger -- during his "strolling" comedy.

CORPORATE SHOWS

corporate entertainment? - JOE CAN HELP (ask about the bilingual version of Joe's show).

Whether it s entertainment for a big convention, a sales meeting, trade show, holiday party for adults children or a picnic, Joe Gandelman & Friends will give you a show CRAMMED with BIG laughs, music (sometimes song parodies) and hilarious audience interaction.

SHOWS: All shows feature lots of characters -- and your company can customize Joe s corporate show. Since he has a BIG cast of characters, he uses members of his "cast" to fit your company s show. Each wooden or non-wooden character has a carefully developed personality and comedy bit. Each show is PACKED with laughs and features Joe s famous volunteer ventriloquism lip sync as the zany smash finale.

In the lip sync, he gets several volunteers (or names provided in advance) who open their mouths when he taps their shoulders...and voices magically come out (from Joe to them). They then must don crazy wigs and lip sync a "classic" rock song to Joe s voices. It ALWAYS brings the house down.

All corporate shows feature Joe s popular standard customization at no extra cost. This basic customization, developed over many years by Joe for his show and the way he has constructed his comedy routines and character roster, lets you provide inside jokes and information that he inserts at key points in the show. Audience members think it s a show largely written for your group!

The basic customization is highly effective. More extensive customization is also available at an additional cost.

Joe will also do several minutes of STANDUP COMEDY without his characters either at the very beginning or towards the end of each corporate show. The emphasis is on topical jokes and jokes relating to your industry but there are other jokes, too.

Need to roast a sales rep, new supervisor, or sales awards winner? Joe will do a comedy roast without his characters -- again using information you supply to create a screeching, funny but good natured script roasting your guest of honor. If you re doing a roast, too, Joe basically gives you two entertainers in one...but this time without the "dummies!"

Gandelman is listed in Who's Who in Entertainment and is included in the nationally distributed The Great Ventriloquists trading cards.
