The No-Stress Performer Who Makes You Look Like a Genius

(Yes, this website’s simple. That’s on purpose. I believe in focusing on what matters — and when it comes to live events, that’s making sure your audience shows up, stays engaged, and leaves feeling more connected than when they came in. If you're looking for tech-heavy spectacle or high-maintenance drama, I’m probably not your guy. But if you want dependable, low-stress entertainment that your audience will actually love? You’re in exactly the right place.)

 Want an event everyone raves about — without the headaches?
BJ from Colon delivers laugh-out-loud, heartwarming entertainment that delights kids, impresses adults, and makes you the hero for booking it.

You're not just planning an event — you're making a memory.

 You’ve lived through it:

  • The performer who shows up flustered or late

  • Kids squirming and zoning out

  • Adults checking the time

  • You silently thinking, “Please let this end before someone complains to me.”

When you're the one booking the entertainment, every awkward moment feels personal. But finding someone funny, reliable, and truly for all ages? That feels like magic.

I booked BJ for my son’s birthday party, {and} I’m so glad I did. He is great with kids and had people of all ages laughing and entertained. I would highly recommend seeing him at Abbott’s or booking him for parties or gatherings.

BJ entertained over 300 5th graders during our Annual Artworks Day event. We were impressed by his ability to tailor his program to [our] audience. His professionalism was excellent as he interacted with students and parents. We would not hesitate to recommend his services.
