My in-spotlight focus is simple: Give people lots to smile about, put the best possible on stage and share positive experiences.
Some see ‘entertainment’ and ‘circus’ as just jokes and spectacle, but I’ve always found that if you’re going to stand in front of an audience, you might as well say something meaningful.
These days I do less of the solo career that worked my way around the world for 15 years. Now I’m more about pulling artists and themes together, to combine a theatrical narrative with spectacle and bring meaning through engaging live performance. And in writing that sentence, I’ve become a post-40 hipster!!
