What Jason generally does at each performance.
Jason's performance as one of his many characters or just himself starts off welcoming guests, getting them a bit revved up with either Meet and Greet or with a big entrance by Singing song as he walks through the crowd to the stage or being lowered from the ceiling, arriving on a motor bike or even a pink Cadillac.
He then continues to MC the entire event. In between the MC role He goes amongst the crowd and does intermingling roving with situation comedy…guest love to interact with the characters.
As the event progresses he then returns to the stage and continues to MC (announce CEO for speeches, awards, best dress etc) .
Dancing with the STARS
Then just before the time of the night when you would like the dancing to kick off, Jason does a 20 min interactive game show on the stage or dance floor called "Dancing with the Stars" (Staff or Stuffedif depending on the event). This is great fun, very easy and works very well. He grabs guests from the audience (Birthday guest, Special guests, CEO, Managers if client requires). One by one He pulls out each of the contestants and briefly interviews them with a laugh or two. This is done with the help of a game show assistant (provided by the client) who writes their name on a fun coloured star shaped name tag and sticks it on them.
Contestants are all placed in one horizontal straight line facing the audience with Jason standing in front of them all. He briefly explains the name of the game, which is for them to copy the sexy, funky and hilarious moves of the chosen character. (accompanied with themed music). Jason then asks the audience to be the judges with their applause that He calls the " clap-o-meter". After the music stops he ask the crowd how each guest went by who got the loudest clap, Finally Jason then narrow it down to the last two contestants (another quick dance off between them and winner gets a prize supplied by client. (Champers or a holiday etc).
Straight after this live game show whilst the contestants are still on the dance floor Jason announces the band or DJ to crank it up for guests to dance. Jason believes: "This is a great opportunity to kick off the dancing. The dance game is similar to the bridal Waltz at weddings and is a great way to invite the remaining guests up to dance way into the night.
Jason continues dancing and roving amongst the guests and gets them all going.
Note:
Jason is good at reading each crowd differently …Jason says " My goal is to uplift people and to make them laugh but not to offend " He also says "I work with the movie censorship ratings as a guide (depending on the event and what the client wants), which I believe is key as a corporate entertainer" But above all Jason desires to make people feel good and make them happy.
