Having just had a very busy weekend of functions, I would like to thank everyone for their very warm response to the shows.
Actually all this weekends shows were very enjoyable for me. It is a bit of a shame though that some parents have to spoil a party by loudly chattering when an entertainer is trying to do his (or her) job.
I admit I tend to get a bit irritated with people that prevent me from doing my job properly. After all, because I am one of the most experienced entertainers in the area, I get paid quite a lot of money for what I do.
Of course people like to have a chat with their friends at a function, no one expects them to sit without talking for a couple of hours, but it is nice when the adults keep the volume low.
It is very difficult to talk quietly to children if there is a large amount of noise from chattering adults, that cannot or will not, respect the hosts of the function and indeed, their own children, by keeping voices to a low volume. For a professional, it is incredibly frustrating to have years of experience wasted because of rude adults.
OK, I own up to the fact that this is one of my pet gripes.
I sometimes wonder what those same adults would do if they paid loads of money out for theatre tickets and then I came and sat behind them with a load of small noisy children. I bet they would soon be at the box office complaining that they had wasted their money!
When children’s entertainers meet up at a convention or Union meeting, noisy adults are frequently one of the main topics of conversation, as it is on our bulletin boards.It is a great shame that some people cannot be more considerate.
Bye 4 now
