What schools are saying
“Best assembly I've seen in 32 years of teaching.”
“I've never seen an audience of students that engaged, from the first minute to the last. Tim had every kid locked in.”
“Our school had the absolute BEST time with Tim! From the daytime school assembly to the evening family show, every single moment was engaging, meaningful, and full of energy! If you ever get the chance to bring Tim to your school, DO IT!”
“His love for spreading positivity and character building are evident in every show. This is his second time at our school and we are going to continue to invite him back every year because he helps us reinforce our PAWS school-wide rules and messages in such a fun and engaging way.”

FAQ
Questions schools ask
Are the Elementary and Middle School shows different?
Very! They're built for different ages, with different tones and different content.

Is this "kids' magic," like a birthday party clown?
Not even close. Tim isn't a clown or a character act, he's a comedian, actor, magician, and ventriloquist with a real theater background.
Think less "silly kids' entertainer" and more Disney or Pixar, built for kids, but sharp enough that adults in the room are just as locked in. The magic is strong. The comedy is smart. Nothing about it feels like a birthday party.
What's the show actually like?
Tim scripts the whole show, yet it feels alive and almost improvised because so much depends on the audience in the room that day.
One moment he's on stage, the next he's walking the aisle. One moment he's practically whispering to pull the whole gym in close, the next the kids are chanting back at him with music swelling underneath. It has a real beginning, middle, and end, but it never feels like sitting and watching a show, because the audience is part of it the entire time. Childlike, never childish.
Is this good for a PBIS assembly or celebration?
Yes, it's actually one of the most common reasons schools book us.
The message reinforces respect, kindness, and positive behavior in language kids actually remember, and it plugs directly into whatever PBIS or SEL framework you're already running.
Does Tim have good audience management? What about behavior issues?
Yes, it's one of Tim's specialties, and behavior problems are rare in his shows because the kids are locked in and engaged from start to finish.
Tim wrote a book on it, called Perform, which teaches performers how to genuinely connect with an audience instead of just entertaining at them. His own rule of thumb: "If you have a behavior problem in your show, you probably have an engagement problem in your show."
Where do you perform?
Chicagoland is home base, and Tim regularly travels throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin for both assemblies and Family Nights.
National experience goes well beyond that too, 43 states, including two performances at the White House.
How far in advance should we book?
Most schools book anywhere from a few months to a full school year out.
Popular windows, Character Ed months, PBIS kickoffs, Catholic Schools Week, fill up early, so it's worth reaching out as soon as your dates are on the calendar, especially for Family Night.
Is Tim insured?
Yes. Tim carries liability insurance and can provide a certificate on request.
Once you book, everything lives in your school's own private online portal: the agreement, Tim's W-9, certificate of insurance, an arrival guide, an introduction you can hand your principal, and a setup sheet for your custodian. One link, nothing to chase down.
How does Tim keep the show fresh after 10,000+ performances?
Tim treats every show like it's his first, or his last, a habit that goes back to doing six shows a day at Six Flags for three summers as a teenager.
Instead of burning out, he found something small to improve every single show. That connection is the whole reason the message about kindness and respect lands at all, Pro Kids stands for "People Respecting Others."
Can Tim work with an entire district?
Yes, and one recent example in Channahon, Illinois says it best.
Tim performed at every elementary and middle school in the district, then closed it out with one large Family Night for all the schools together. It went so well, Tim was invited back to give a 60-minute performance and keynote at the district's Staff Institute, and from there to a national conference for principals and superintendents.
