Charney & Harry
Magician, Musician, Ventriloquist and all-around nut
If what you want for a Boy Scout dinner, camp, private party, library, meeting of the tri-lateral commission or be-in is a show without any redeeming educational value at all, than Steve and Harry are for you. Steve brings in a trunkful of magic tricks and props and a collection of jokes and routines that would make any stand-up comedian proud. It’s an upbeat, zany, fast paced show that also includes Harry, Steve’s dummy, who steals the show with his verbal mayhem and wacky shenanigans. Because Steve has been doing this act for nigh on thirty years, his timing is impeccable (hey, no one’s going to peck on his timing!) And because he never puts anything in the act that he himself doesn’t think is funny, than you know adults are going to enjoy the humor as much as the kids. It masquerades as a kid’s show but in truth, is entertaining for everyone in the family…even your grouchy aunt.
But here’s more. For years, Steve has performed in schools around the country with his educational assemblies. Promoting Literacy (Steve has published over a dozen books), Eating Healthy (his book “The ABC’s of Fruits and Vegetables…and beyond” helps educate kids about proper nutrition) and his Anti-Bullying program are three assemblies that teach, inspire and entertain students. Still not convinced? Check out these videos!
