Joe,
I didn't know you did puppets as well! Such a talented guy!
My hubby and I do children's shows during the day (14 or more shows a week) and some of my band members complain that I talk to our adult music audience sometimes like they are children. BUT IT WORKS! Especially after they've been drinking a bit, I've found I can get the responses I want by leading them along just like we do for the kid's shows.
Joe, would love to see Bob the dog...we have Mickey O'Doo the leprechan, and Vern the Bird.
