Mark Lippard is a guy that cares about the Kingdom work. I've been with him on TV, at a church and at a Christian conference; if you are trying to 'juggle' your schedule for the 'just right' entertainer, Mark won't disappoint.

faq

Q: What is the difference between a show and roving entertainment?

A show is a performance for an attentive audience that is seated, either in a sanctuary, gymnasium, auditorium, outdoor stage or other similar facility. He uses a microphone and background music. Roving entertainment, or strolling, is when Mark mingles among the crowd on stilts or unicycles, entertaining small groups of people at a time while other activities are taking place.

Q: What is Mark's fee to come and perform for us?

Our prices vary, depending on how much entertainment you need and how far he has to travel to your event. Please call or fill out the Contact Form to receive further information. Be as specific as possible about your special event.

Q: What are Mark's stage and sound requirements?

Mark's ideal stage size is 16' wide x 12' deep with steps to the front-center or front-side. Stage must be safely secured. When there is portable seating, there should be no more than 6' of open area between the front of the stage and the first row of chairs/tables. The stage should be set up in the center of the long wall of the room. He needs a minimum of 14' of clearance from floor to ceiling, although he is flexible and can work with less. For the show, Mark requires a professional sound system, a wireless lapel microphone (NOT a headset) and a CD player. A sound technician must be present to run the sound. When he drives his own vehicle, Mark can set up and run his own sound system if you do not have one available. A general wash is needed on stage. However, there must be good backlighting. One or two floor cans at back of stage would be very helpful.

Q: How far will Mark travel to perform?

Mark has separate prop cases for flying and for driving. This allows him to travel extensively. He is even able to fly with his giant unicycle, which breaks down and fits into a special prop case.
