Will adults enjoy the Dude? - Certainly! The dude tends to incorporate humor, visual gags and magic that appeal to all ages.


Can I cancel/reschedule the party? - The retainer is what holds the date. If you decide that a previously scheduled date will not work, the Dude will work with you as best he can to reschedule, but should you decide against using "the Dude's" services, your retainer fee is not refundable. 

How many people can I invite? - How big is your venue?  I have entertained for as little as 5 people and to as many as 300.  As long as you can pen the crowd in, the Dude can entertain them.  However, remember that the Dude is very active and we do require a lot of space for interactive dancing and a 8 x 8 ft. setup area to setup live music gear--guitar, keyboard, mixers, speakers.

How is the trip fee calculated? - The dude will find out how many miles you are from 7148 Pilot Knob Ave NE, Louisville, Ohio and then subtract 15 miles, then multiply by $2.  For example, if you venue is 25 miles from our location, the trip fee would be 25-15=10x$2=$20.
