Nickelodeon Parents Connect Award Winner!From the moment Catherine arrived at my 4 year olds party, my wife and I realized what a wonderful party my son was going to have. She is funny, original, and the kids loved her! Totally entertaining!
Since coming to America in 1999, apart from her busy family life, Catherine has created the clown/chef character 'Madame Chocolat' designed initially to entertain children at their birthday parties - now also a popular stage act. She founded and performs in the outlandish, harmonic Christmas caroling group 'The Off their Jingle Bell Rockers' Most recently she co-created and teaches the 'parent and me' dance class BoogieMama's. She fully believes that necessity is the mother of invention - without the time constraints that motherhood brings she would be less likely to have created such interesting and diverse occupations!
Madame Chocolat is a fabulous performer and kids' entertainer. I have seen her at numerous birthday parties and every time, she has everyone laughing, adults and children alike. Her show is incredibly creative and interactive. Not only do the children help her bake a cake, but they participate in the show in a playful way, that even the shyest of children can enjoy. She can vary her show with themes depending on what you have in mind, and comes up with ideas that make the party even more special. I applaud Madame Chocolat and would recommend her not only for parties, but also for festivals and other kid events...(more)
