Everyone is talking about Bonzo! Here is just a sampling of what some of Bonzo Crunch's many, many delighted customers have to say:

Bonzo Crunch is an all-time favorite of young and old alike at Austin Symphony's Children's Day Art Park. He is more than just a man in a clown suit; he epitomizes the heart and soul of a clown. We are lucky to have this top-notch entertainer here in Austin. His presence guarantees a smile on every face.

Diana Eblin, Director of Education,
Austin Symphony, Austin, Texas

Magic, music, juggling, comedy, audience participation... Bonzo Crunch is head and shoulders above any performing clown that I've seen in Central Texas... that's why I hire him for every session of The Magic Camp! (Besides that, Rik Gern is great to deal with, demonstrating integrity as well as compassion in his dealing with children).

I just wanted let you know how thrilled I was with Bonzo Crunch's performance at Market Place this afternoon! It was absolutely wonderful, and the kids just loved it Bonzo was the most charming clown I've ever met- just great with the kids and the adults! Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for setting us up with Rik, (Bonzo!). We had a great turnout and he was really good with the children. We had so many compliments on his performance after the show... the parents were really impressed. I, of course, loved the fact that he told the kids how great we librarians and our libraries are!!! His display of books was great. He was great about getting the children to quiet down and kept their attention by asking for predictions of what was going to happen!! His clowning was so great...

Kay Taylor,
Jonesboro, Arkansas Library

Rik was wonderful. He played to our crowd so well. I cannot tell you how much fun they had. He stuck around after the performance and talked with folks and took pictures. It really meant a lot to them. He included them in his performance. It was a real highlight for them.

It was an absolutely wonderful evening.

Thank you so much for your great performance! Your patience with kids was awesome! I just can not say enough how cooperative you were last night in our function... I have received excellent feedback about your entertainment. I will pass your contact information to whoever requests.

We want to thank you sooo very much for such a fabulous performance at Carly's birthday! We will spread the word to all our friends about Bonzo Crunch's clown show. I felt as if I was in the front row at Ringling Brothers Circus. It was so nice to meet you and hope to see you again. Happy trails to you!!!

Your fans,
Nancy, Will and Carly Huffman

Needless to say, you were a great big hit with the children and adults alike. You were a great asset to our annual NNO event.

You're a real trooper!

Carolyn Thibodaux,
SCNA Information/Newsletter Officer

He does a fantastic job. We have gotten some great media coverage - the television coverage has proven invaluable. People are asking about the circus everywhere I go because they saw it on the news.

There has been a bump in ticket sales, which I believe is a result of the media coverage we have received from Rik's performances.

Shannon Coombs,
Ringling Bros. Promotion

We really enjoyed the visit. I have so many teachers that want to take the kids to the circus now just b/c of how much the kids enjoyed the visit! They were so sweet and didn't talk - we couldn't believe it! It was great. Bonzo did a great job with the kids and really handled our group well.

Sarah Carpenter, Library Media Specialist,
Morgan Elementary School, Macon, Georgia

We really enjoyed the clown... he was great. Thank you so much and please pass on to whoever up the chain of management that it was great having him. There was one child I know of whose mother took her last year but wasn't going to take her this year. After the clown, she just had to go see the Greatest Show on Earth and did.

Elizabeth Coston,
Librarian, Laredo, Texas

Bonzo has done a super job here in the Tri-Cities! Yesterday he entertained over 600 elementary school children with juggling, magic, and zaniness while telling them about "The Greatest Show on Earth" and presenting a reading message in the process. He is a wonderful ambassador for Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Marc Harden, Executive Director,
Mid-Columbia Reading Foundation,
Kennewick, Washington

These past couple of days I have worked with Bonzo Crunch and it has been a great experience to be able to work with a professional from Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey.

Bonzo Crunch was able to visit two of our Elementary Schools: Robert Frost Elementary and Emerson Elementary.

Seeing the reaction of the children faces shine, it is obvious that Bonzo gives his 110%. It distinctively shows that Bonzo Crunch has a passion for what he does, the people he works for and entertains. I feel that Bonzo was a very valuable asset to our students because he has knowledge of how to direct, lead, maintain order and most of all make education fun.

I am so proud that Ringling has such a quality employee because it makes our community open doors for guests who come into our town. His dedication to bettering the children in the Pasco community by reading is invaluable and shows that Bonzo Crunch is a person of integrity.

Thank you for participating in our schools and we would be delighted in working with you in the near future.

We thoroughly enjoyed Bonzo Crunch's show on the 15th - the kids were still talking about him and his show a week later!

It was fun to watch the excitement of the children and their interactions with Ric. He is truly talented and did a wonderful job with our children.
