Here is what they are saying about The Great Holtzie

"We had The Great Holtzie entertain our preschool camp recently. What a find! He kept the children and staff engaged and entertained for the whole time. We have had other programs this summer, and our little kids usually leave half way through - but not with The Great Holtzie. He was amazing. Parents asked me about it the next day, which just tells you that the children were still talking about him when they got home! I highly recommend The Great Holtzie for any and all events. For the very young to the very old. He is hilarious! The staff wants to make sure we have him back during the school year."

-Missy Horrow, Director of Early Childhood Education - Main Line Reform Temple

"The Great Holtzie brought a level of laughter and humor to our annual XPoNential Music Festival this summer on the Camden Waterfront! His attention and focus to the kids he is performing with, mixed with his winks and nods to the adults nearby, is a perfect oasis in a sea of overzealous clowns and crusty magicians - a breath of fresh air for any kids' party!"

-Robert Drake, Producer of WXPN's "Kids Corner"

"The Great Holtzie performed this December at The Morris Arboretum's Annual Premier Member's Holiday Garden Railway Evening. The event was a great success with a record-breaking 600 members registered to see the railway and The Great Holtzie's fabulous show. He kept the packed room of children, parents, and staff laughing and smiling. He made our event even more magical! My colleagues and I were still laughing on Monday morning."
