Mission statement: “To rival the sound of a band while simultaneously playing all musical instruments at once and give
the perception of a monster entertainer with interactive comedy.”
Act Description: Picture Dick Van Dyke as Bert in the opening sequence of Mary Poppins, except on steroids,
performing a variety of classic songs from the 50’s thru 90’s, while truly rivaling a bands sound of guitar, bass,
harmonica, drums and vocal. Appearance is a bit comedic playing a back pack drum kit ‘The Contraption’. At first glance,
you may think “hokey”. Seeing is believing with this act, all performances and videos are completely live. The acts true
niche is a “musical illusion”, a term used by Pro Illusionists to describe the act. To our knowledge, Marc is the most
advanced real One Man Band in the world. With improv comedy and audience’s reaction, no two shows are alike.
Show is suitable for ground or stage and portable with “the loudest sound wagon on the planet” sporting 3,000 watts of
sound. Three to four shows per day may be performed at multiple locations such as:
 The largest area with pedestrian traffic near food vendors, exhibit halls or eating areas. Show is in the round like
a “street show”. Audience size will be as many people that comfortably fit around Marc.
 Fair stage when there is a hole in the schedule.
 Pre show to motor sport, track, pageant, awards or other events, on or in front of stage depending on layout.
 Areas near seats or hay bale seating help audience comfort.
 In case of rain the show may go into an exhibit or other hall.
Requirements:
 One, 20 amp circuit within 150 feet.
 Eight feet floor to ceiling performance area.
 Flat, level and hard stomping area. Performance cannot be on a steep hill, wet or muddy areas or most types of
gravel and sand. Most grass or dirt field areas may do.
Portable sound system with wireless mic may be used by Fair or Festival to MC events with Marc’s supervision. If your
fair or festival has many acts, please include “The One Man Band” in schedule. Guests typically want to see the show
more than once. If no schedule is made, Marc will work show times to not conflict with others, as much as possible.
