About
The Rock N Roll Pet Store Kids Show is unlike anything else out there. The excitement of having live original fun kids music, live animals that magically appear and funny characters popping up from behind the backdrop sets a perfect atmosphere for your kids to have fun. They will stay committed and eager to participate until the very end. You can just relax and watch them have a blast. You will relive this fun show over and over with my CD of the songs from the show that I will personally give to the birthday child before I leave. I am told by parents that they listen to this CD with their kids daily for years to come. A great life time memory.
I love playing my guitar and singing my own children's songs during my shows. I love surprising the kids. I love hearing them laugh and having them sing along with me. I love hearing from kids and parents that they love my music and shows.

It was wonderful. My grandson loved it and so did all of the adults. Mike was very nice and great with the kids. He was early and performed for an hour or so and then let the kids pet and hold the animals. He interacted well with the kids and got them all involved in the show. I highly recommend him.

We hired them for our son's birthday party. All of the kids had a blast. They were very professional. They came early to set up so the kids wouldn't see any "secrets," and stayed for a bit after the performance to allow all of the children to interact with the animals. The price for this show was well worth the experience. A great deal!

Our preschool program hosted a Fall Family Fun Night with about 60+ 3-5 year olds. We were very happy with Mike and his performance. He was professional, on time, and accomodating to our needs. The humor was at the appropriate age for our group and I think the adults liked it as much as the kids! He incorporated the children into the performance which helped keep them engaged. Towards the end of the show, he noticed the children getting restless so wisely changed gears to re-engage them. Great job! Would use him again at another event.

What a great show! An amazing mix of animals, music, comedy, and magic. This was perfect for my little 2 year old's birthday party. He, all his little friends and cousins had a great time. Mike does an amazing job of captivating the children. Parents were delighted to watch all of the kids' reactions. We had kids from 18 mos to 10 years old in attendance and they all loved the Rock N Roll Pet Store Kids Show. Very unique and fun. Each animal brought a new smile to the kids faces. Mike also included the audience in the show. He made my little boy's birthday extra special by letting him help with some of the magic tricks. He's still talking about it! Parts of the show reminded me of the television show, "Kids say the darnedest things," as Mike let the kids talk and rolled with they're exclamations and excited reactions. Further, Mike drove approximately 2 hours to get to our show and didn't charge a dime extra. He was flexible and when we weren't ready to start on time, he adjusted without a problem. He made our party memorable and was a pleasure to deal with. He has our highest recommendation for any small kids party!

Mike and his assistant, Joey, came to our library in the South Hills of Pittsburgh to do a performance for 40 children and 25 parents. The event was hugely successful as the children were completely riveted and engaged for the entire 45 minute show. As part of the performance, Mike sings original songs while playing guitar and inviting the children to chime in when the song calls for participation. He has a beautiful voice and knows just how to include the crowd in these professional level songs. The live animals and puppets featured in the show were a huge hit with the kiddos who literally squealed with delight each time a new "friend" was presented. Mike offered several opportunities for individuals to go on stage and assist with magic tricks, and after the show all of the kids were invited to come forward to pet the rabbit featured in the program. Not only was the performance top quality, but Mike and Joey were incredibly warm, professional, and easy to work with. From arranging the gig to handling set up and tear down of the set, Mike and his assistant made everything about this experience easy and convenient for me. As you can tell, this is one highly satisfied librarian because I saw how satisfied my little library patrons were during and after the show. I highly recommend Mike Zafutto!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee includes my travel, time set up time and of course an excellent show for your kids. Also included in all of my shows is my 100% money back guarantee that says if your kids don't love the show you do not have to pay for it. This fee also includes balloon twisting for the kids and a copy of my children's music CD called "Rock N Roll Pet Store" as my birthday gift to your child. I am told by happy parents that they listen to this CD and relive their awesome birthday party daily with their kids while riding in the car or playing at home. This priceless memory is also included.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to make this process as simple and easy as possible. I gladly talk to all of my customers to answer any questions they may have about the show or my fees first. Then if they are interested, I will ask a few questions about the party date and time, number and age of the kids, location and any other details that may be specific to their party. It is really that easy.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
First I am a dad and loved entertaining my kids when they were this age. I have been a musician/ children's entertainer/singer, songwriter and love performing.
