We had an absolute blast during The Great Zucchini’s show at our son’s birthday! The kids were so engaged and rolling on the floor laughing… even out 17 month old! The pandemic has put a damper on our last few years of birthday parties, so this was just the perfect thing to make our little guy’s birthday extra special! Thanks so much to The Great Zucchini!

The Great Zucchini visited our school today! All kids and staff had a wonderful time watching his show! He is hilarious and very engaging. We had students from ages 3 - 11 years old join the performance and it was enjoyed by all! The Great Zucchini is very mindful of his audience in order to ensure all audience members are entertained. He was also very friendly with the admin team before and after; he took the time to get to know us. That is always a great personal touch that goes a long way! We would highly recommend you using him for any occasion!

The Great Zucchini performed last weekend for my daughter's 4th birthday. He had the group of 20+ children laughing from start to finish. I highly recommend him for your child's birthday, and plan to book him again in the future. He is in high demand, so make sure you book your party in advance.

My daughter saw The Great Zucchini at another party and then begged me to have him for hers! He's literally the kid whisperer. Knows how to keep every kid engaged and laughing. He's professional and kind. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I’ve seen The Great Zucchini perform a lot over the last 10 years but having him come to our house for my son’s 7th birthday was epic! The kids had the best time and laughed SO much and SO hard- but so did the adults! On top of being hilarious, he’s just a super nice guy. Never disappoints!

We have nothing but great things to say about The Great Zucchini! I am the Education Director at The Goddard School located in Rockville, Maryland. I cannot count how many times we have booked The Great Zucchini each year to bring laugh out loud entertainment to our students. Their uncontrollable laughter is why we keep bringing him back!
His interactive shows bring a smile to all of our age groups. We constantly have parents asking for his contact information, and have had families book him for their own child’s birthday parties.

The great zucchini was easy to work with and very accommodating while we figured out dates and times. He was prompt. He was great with the kids and with all guests. The kids laughed hysterically for over 30 minutes. It was wonderful to watch. It was a different level of kids entertainment and It was just so great for our daughter and her friends on her birthday. I would strongly recommend great zucchini to anyone looking to do an event for kids.

The Great Zucchini performed at my son’s 6th birthday party. He was fantastic! He kept my son and 30 kids from his kindergarten class completely engaged the whole time. Everyone was screaming, laughing, and smiling throughout his show. He showed up early and was incredibly responsive via email and text. He was a huge hit!

The Great Zucchini did not disappoint! My 4-year old and her friends can be difficult to wrangle, but the Great Zucchini not only made the kids belly laugh out loud, but kept them fully engaged for a full 45 minutes. There wasn't a single kid who wandered off or was not entertained. We're already planning for when our 2-year old is old enough to invite GZ back!

Our son had the best 5th birthday with the Great Zucchini! The whole group was mesmerized by his show. Ages 2-7 were totally engrossed. I’ve never seen a group of children sit so still :) He found a way to make each child feel special and a part of the show.
