General Entertainment Presentations
"Mark amazes and humors people as he throws his voice, brings his puppets to life, interacts with audience members, carries on a three way conversation, switches voices at lightning speed, brushes his teeth while making a puppet sing, plays the piano with one hand while singing a duet with a puppet at the same time, clicks his tongue like a horse as a puppet sings along, and turns a couple of audience members into puppets by making them speak and sing. It's a great program!"
The character cast includes:
Kirby Finkle, a zany country disk jockey
Crackers Krinklebird, a wacky hypochondriac bird
Dexter Whittle, a crafty and mischievous young man
Dotty O'Doll, an adorable and very emotional younger sister of Dexter
Toby the Tiny Tiger, the world's smallest trumpet playing tiger
