Garry Dunn – Keep Them Laughing (1-2)
A comprehensive double DVD set that emphasizes the vital role of ENTERTAINMENT and LAUGHTER in children’s performances. Learn from the seasoned expert, Garry Dunn, who honed his craft as a Redcoat at Butlins. Benefit from his wealth of experience and apply his straightforward techniques to enhance your own shows. When you Keep Them Laughing, you’ve already achieved success!
Filmed live at a school in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the first disc features Gary’s engaging Magic Show, which could easily be dubbed The Laughter Show! After a captivating introduction, he captivates the children with a series of performances, including Axtell’s Off The Meter, a unique take on Twentieth Century Silks, a hilarious balloon routine, and a puppet act featuring Colin the Chicken. Additionally, enjoy Practical Magic’s Picture Fun presented in a fresh way, along with the comedic Slush Powder routine, Watch the Water! While the tricks are entertaining, the focus is on the joy and laughter they bring. These techniques can be adapted to any performance.
On the second disc, Gary showcases The Show With (Almost!) No Props, delivering over 30 minutes of continuous fun using just a microphone. This is the same act he performed at Kidology in 2010, now presented before an audience of 200 children.
As a special bonus, we’re including a FREE 45-minute performance of ‘The Love Story,’ filmed live at a holiday camp in 2010. While not studio quality, the footage effectively demonstrates Gary’s ability to entertain, reinforcing the principles shared in the previous shows.
This exceptional package serves as a valuable resource for anyone aiming to prioritize LAUGHTER in their performances!
