Views: 37 | Enquiries: 0My talk 'From Clown to Corporate' gives a fascinating and humorous insight into my real life experiences of working as a children's entertainer called 'Dolly Day Dream' in the early 90's. I then describe how I then made the career transition into the corporate world working with seemingly sensible adults! Was it easier working with adults or children - I let you decide! The talk is a lot of fun with poems, puppets, juggling, and a bit of audience participation too.
