REVIEWS
Everything went very well. I so enjoyed working with Barbara Jean and the Dueling Pianos this year. I’m glad I have Rusch Entertainment as my go to for entertainment from now on. We haven’t begun to think of next year yet, but I’m sure we will be calling you once dates are in place. Your entertainers are so timely (and friendly) it takes the worries right out of the day of the event knowing they will be there way before the starting time. Thank you for 2022!

Hi Dean,
Barbara Jean was the Ventriloquist / Entertainer For our United Methodist Church Valentine dinner party. She was very nice to work with. Our group really enjoyed her. She is very talented!
Thanks, Gary
Dear Dean, Friday went fantastic. Barbara Jean was amazing. She arrived and set up while the residents watched. They didn’t want to be late. Her performance was exceptional. The show was appropriate and she added in personal touches pertaining to Holt, MI and our 25th celebration. She even worked it in to the show when someone’s cell phone accidentally went off to put them at ease. The residents loved her witty jokes and are still talking about it 3 days later. It certainly added a touch of class to our celebration. Barbara was a very gracious performer and her skill as a ventriloquist was mind boggling. (How do you sing and throw your voice with an accent?) Since we are a small not for profit, we don’t use paid entertainment very often. It was certainly worth the money and we will be sure to contact Rusch entertainment in the future when the need arises again.
Sincerely, Lisa A. from Great Lakes Christian H.
Dear Mr. Rusch, thank you for arranging Barbara Jean, ventriloquist, for our student nurse dinner at the Saginaw Club. We found Barbara and friends delightful. Entertaining and most refreshing.

Barbara Jean was very good, she was a little late coming out but more than made up for it. She stayed 30 minutes passed time. I would definitely get her again and would recommend your services to anyone, thank you so much!

Barbara Jean was the Big Hit of the evening. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed her. She could have gone on for another hour and nobody would have objected or left the room. Thanks again for making it successful.

Barbara Jean exceeded our expectations she was great. Our luncheon was approximately one hour behind schedule which delayed Barbara’s performance. Barbara was patient during the delay and was spectacular during her performance. Thanks again!

Hi Dean,
Yes, everyone enjoyed her very much. My family is still talking about her and her friends. Barbara Jean is very friendly and easy to talk to. We could have listened to her stories all night. Thanks!

This was an event for people in the ag industry, and she told a joke about beans! She was wonderful. We got a lot of positive feedback on her performance. Many guests said that she was very talented and did an excellent job. We hadn’t had so many compliments on a performer before! One guest saw her perform a few weeks earlier, and he said it was just as entertaining the 2nd time around! A lot of guests even went up to speak with her afterwards to thank her.
