Client Reviews
Here’s what some of our clients are saying about us!
“We did our annual Noon New Years Eve Countdown event at the Kingsport Town Center in Kingsport, TN. We had Earl and Kimberly Long of Vertical Kids come and present their comedy magic show with hundreds of kids and parents. Earl and Kimberly were phenomenal. The reaction Earl and Kimberly got from the kids was the best reaction we have ever had from anyone. How they kept the kids attention was amazing and the magic and message was incredible. If you have an event then invite Earl and Kimberly Long. They will do a great job for you!”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful show! Your show was perfect. The WOW effect was there and the children were engaged for the full half-hour. It’s not easy to hold the attention of 4 and 5 year-olds, but you managed to do it. It was a great day and I would recommend Earl to anyone interested in having a show for ‘little guys'”
