“The Silly Circus is everything you want for a library performance, and much more. Bri is not only extremely talented and entertaining, she is also great with the audience, particularly kids, and even allows for a few of them to get in on the act. She is funny, welcoming, engaging, and her tricks are all extremely impressive. If you want a premium performer who is professional, and has the ability to captivate an audience of all ages, look no further than Bri and the Silly Circus. Highly recommended!”

Bri Crabtree’s Silly Seuss show was a kids (parents & grandparents) crowd-pleaser. She had the kids in the audience engaged and laughing the whole show. She tells stories, juggles, does a bit of magic, and is every entertaining. She held the kids’ attention a full hour. As the Children’s Librarian at Cloverdale Library, I felt fortunate to have her on the first day of spring break. We’ll definitely be inviting her back for future programs.

“Thank you so much for providing one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever hosted! We had a lot of great feedback! The time of the show was just right – 35 to 45 minutes for the age group in attendance. The variety was great…juggling, comedy, audience participation, etc. You handle preschoolers very well! Especially when they get up and want to be part of the show! You’re also somewhat of a role model.
I stood near some school-age girls that were quite excited about the show. I look forward to having you at the library again!”
