Hey everyone, the Gaithersburg arts barn has invited me to perform for a cool virtual experience this Saturday at 11 am. Hope to see you all soon! www.gaithersburgmd.gov/recreation/performing-arts/theater/the-great-zucchini
Hey Everyone, I hope you’re doing well and staying safe. I’m excited about the snow most definitely. Growing up in the metro area, good snow storms aren’t as common as they used to be. ![]()
I wanted to let ya know that March, April and May bday spots are flying off the board with a mixture of virtual and in-person social distancing parties coming in, that some weekends are already completely booked. ![]()
If you’re thinking about a Spring bday party with me, definitely don’t wait to check availability. Thanks 😎🤩
I have 12 virtual shows this weekend. I’m having a blast entertaining everyone on zoom as we’re getting through these cold tough months, but staring at my same ol living room, while performing seems like an episode of twilight zone. ![]()
I may need to put some new pictures on my wall. ![]()
Btw, I only have a handful of spots left in February so give me a call for my belly-laughing virtual show to check availability 🤩😎
Indoors or out, large space or small, The Great Zucchini makes sure your children have a fantastic time!
The Great Zucchini challenges the kids to a race after the show!

You’re like a phenomenon. All the parents know you!”

“Can you imagine not having read Goodnight Moon, Ezra Jack Keats books, or Beatrix Potter? Though they are children’s books, our lives are enriched by experiencing them. His show is the same.
“I saw him and it was magical. It was like seeing a unicorn that you know lives in the area somewhere and only a few are lucky enough to run into it.
“He’s a toddler whisperer.”
– Zac Gomez, parent & teacher
