For over 15 years I performed more than 250 children’s shows a year. That was until cruises, comedy clubs, corporate shows and trade shows took up most of my time. I still do a few shows to audiences of kids and families, mainly school assembly shows, blue and golds, family events, and the like. This means that the material in this book is still current, still in regular use, and still making audiences laugh today. No pipe dreams or untested material, just solid advice and solid routines.
If you do shows for children and families then you must have this book… but don’t believe me, read the reviews…
Contents include my 12 of my favorite routines, my thoughts on how to be the best children’s entertainer in your area, advice on comedy for kids, character building, marketing and so much more.

‘Keith has a wonderfully fresh and unique take on KIDshows and his book reflects that with very commercial routines he has made a living with. There is, I predict, classic material in this book that will find it’s way into many family performers shows for years to come. Thanks to Keith for sharing a wonderful treasure of routines and ideas!’

Dave Andrews –
‘Keith should never have released this book! He is handing you the hows, whys and wherefores of success as a children’s entertainer on the proverbial plate. No fancy phsycological fare, just down to earth advice (and tricks, no less!) from an entertainer who knows his subject. There is a wealth of solid information and material in every page and the ‘video assists’ are a stroke of genius.’

‘Keith Fields knows how to entertain children and families and how to
make them laugh. Plus his experiences as a street performer and stand up
comedian inform his technique for performing for kids with great
success. This is an excellent book.’

Mark Worgan –
‘Like all successful professional performers it is very easy to see
why they are so successful. Keith has been there, performed there, won
the trophies to prove it and has continued to turn out commercial,
doable magic, which everyone can perform. When you read this book you
are obviously being taught by a consummate professional who cares
about his profession and who has worked every single routine to know
what makes it work. His tips and advice add that extra value added
factor that so many other books lack. I can highly recommend this
ebook to anyone who wants to start in the business of entertaining
children or who is already established. Everyone can take something
from this work.’

Doug Scheer –
‘I have a love/hate relationship with Keith Fields
I love that he’s a great magician.
I hate that he lives in my market area.
I love that he’s got some great routines and ideas.
I hate that he’s practically giving them away.
Please don’t buy this book!’
